Dozens of media outlets are reporting in unison that Donald Trump cannot stop the U.S. government from awarding birthright citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants. They claim this is the case because the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution requires it.
In reality, the legislative history of the 14th Amendment is clear that it only grants birthright citizenship to the children of people who are legally and permanently living in the United States. This does not apply to the children of illegal immigrants, temporary residents, visitors, or tourists.

If Adolph Hittler (SIC) had a kid on American soil.....would that make him a citizen?

It is already well established that children born to foreign ambassadors whoare posted and legally, temporarily, here in the US, are not themselves considered 'natural-born'. So why would the child born here of someone ILEGALLY here be considered more lawfully eligible for citizenship. The current interpretation/loophole must be closed immediately and I am prayerfully confident that the Supremes will agree.

The article is very clear. Illegals are not "in the jurisdiction thereof", thus they are not citizens. The democrats have trashed this article over and over and the traitor media told the lie over and over. Read the damn thing.

But what about elephants?
There is a movement going forth - - which I strongly support - - to give elephants citizenship. So - - if an Indian elephant - - or an African elephant - - gives birth - - in or outside a zoo - - does the little tyke qualify for citizenship?
I say YES - - a resounding YES!

The status of a child or ward should be exactly what their guardian or parent is - until they are eighteen.

Absolutely correct headline.
The key part, conveniently ignored by leftists is "subject to the jurisdiction".....and ILLEGALS are not subject to the jurisdiction, by definition, since they are present illegally.

Shouldn't all this illegal immigration (there are millions) be called human trafficking? That's already illegal. Why are we having this discussion?

The many Notseez in the White House and MSM are very selective in reading and interpreting what they read. Their agenda is paramount.

The incoming Trump Administration has a lot to do when it comes to mass uncontrolled illegal immigration and illegal aliens who are now commonly called migrants. To get a modern reading on so-called birthright citizenship they should get a good comprehensive case up before the US Supreme Court. They should also get the Congress and the Supreme Court to outlaw illegal aliens being counted in future US Censuses for congressional redistricting purposes.
Clearly the leftist and socialist Democrats are using “open borders” encouraged and invited mass uncontrolled illegal immigration to change the future population demographics of the country by allowing unlimited millions of mostly all uneducated Third World origin illegal aliens into the country to stay become legalized, transition to US Citizenship, have as many babies as possible who have been gaining birthright citizenship, with as many of them as possible becoming future leftist and progressive Democrat supporters and voters. As the next US Census approaches the Democrats want as many illegal aliens has possible to flood into the leftist Democrat so-called sanctuary cities and states, so that they will be counted in the next US Census, causing a good number of current congressional districts to be redistricted into those Democrat run areas based upon massive increased population figures, where leftist and progressive Democrat politicians are bound to win the resulting elections in those redistricted congressional seats, thus giving the leftist and progressive Democrats permanent control of the Congressional House of Representatives. Notice that at the same time the leftist and progressive Democrats have been pushing for native born US citizen women to be easily able to abort their babies causing the future native born population demographics to shrink in the years ahead. It’s all political, and soon we will see if the wimpy congressional Republicans have a clue!

Are you saying what Biden and Mayorkas has been doing is illegal? When will they be brought before a judge?

Well, folks. Your chickens will be coming home to roost.
Will our "Wise Latinas and DEI-hires" go all "constructionist " on us, just to kill Trump voters with surprise?

Very clear explanation. Hopefully, Trump's lawyers will consult this. Thank you for posting.

When have the Democ'RATS EVER obeyed a Law that obstructs their 'Progress' toward the Totalitarian State (a.k.a. "Our Democracy")?
By the way, #9 lays out their evil plan very well.
Along the same lines, watch for the constant abuse of the 'RATS constant abuse of the language to further their goals.
Three examples of their common practice:
-Illegal Aliens become "Migrants"
-Gender Mutilation and Sterilization of Minors becomes "Gender-Affirming Care".
-A full-on RIOT, with buildings on fire and flames roaring into the night sky, and rioters blocking shut the doors to a police station and trying to burn it down with the police inside.... becomes a "Mostly Peaceful Protest".
The Leftists are EVIL. Never forget that!

The SCOTUS interpreted the 14th amendment exactly this way previously. Green card holder parents and citizens beget citizens. Invaders and children of embassy staff do not.
Illegals are no different than foreign soldiers. They’re invaders.

This lie has been promulgated for decades to encourage illegals to invade the U.S. have a child and use it in Democrat controlled courts to claim citizenship. Decades. And RINOs have turned their heads like good little spies and saboteurs to avoid bringing up or challenging the issue.
But the facts are that in no country on Earth is this considered lawful. A child, born anywhere is the ward of it's parents and the citizen of the country from which their hail EVEN IF they are lawful immigrants who have not taken the citizenship exam. The Democrats have known this. It is also one of the arguments against Barak Obama being a legitimate natural born citizen for the purpose of becoming President of the U.S. His father was a citizen of Kenya and his mother, too young to convey citizenship to her half-kenyan child. Moot point, but there it is.
If Trump get it right, this will resolve an issue the Democrats have been miss-using for the last 30 or 40 years.

A closer look at the lovely poem by Emma Lazarus, I cannot find even a hint of words about "Give me your tired, your poor, Your knocked up, yearning for food stamps and new batch of baby-daddies."

Years ago I remember reading about the charter flights from china to chicago filled with near term women. Does anyone know if that is still a "thing"?
