I get that a lot. The vast majority of the time, I turn out to be exactly right.
Citizenship in a soverign nation is conferred upon a person based solely on the laws of that nation.
Really? What law created the American citizens? According to Nero Germanicus it appears to have been 8 U.S.C. § 1401, but I sort of think we existed as citizens before that law was created.
There is no natural law entitlement to Citizenship.
It is truly a shame that the Founders descendants have become so disconnected from the principles that created this nation.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
The Constitution confers upon Congress the right and duty to dictate the qualifications for both Citizenship at the moment of birth and citizenship granted after birth.
The Constitution confers upon Congress the right to NATURALIZE non-natural citizens. Natural Citizens are not created by acts of Congress, but by descent through Existing citizens.
The founders themselves never lived up to those principles. Natural Law rights were never considered to have been conferred on slaves or Indians.
Citizenship is a discretionary right conferred by sovereign nations by statutory laws. It is not a right conferred merely because of your place of birth. If is only conferred by acts of the sovereign nations that Grant Citizenship to whomever they so please.
