Canada Free Press ^ | 08/25/15 | Lt. Col. (P) Bill Connor

The Congressional and historic record make clear that the legal concept of birthright citizenship, used by countless aliens to gain U.S. citizenship through anchor babies, is both wrong and unconstitutional.

“The United States have not recognized a double allegiance. By our law a citizen is bound to be ‘true and faithful’ alone to our government.” – House Report No. 784, June 22, 1874

With the 2016 election heating up, many Americans are finding the opportunity to express anger over the nation’s illegal immigration problems.

Donald Trump, a long-shot as a presidential candidate (having never held public office), shot to the top of the polls after making seemingly incendiary remarks about illegal immigrants. I write “seemingly” because many believe his statements to be blunt truth, even if politically incorrect.

The ancient and unjust feudal common law doctrine of birth citizenship or “Jus Soli” has a checkered past and is rightly on the ash heap of history. Jus Soli is accepted almost nowhere in the “modern” Western world due to the primitive and inhumane roots of the concept in medieval Europe. Going back the age of “divine right of Kings,” Jus Soli granted the monarch the greatest number of “subjects” within his realm. Babies, who happened to have been born in the king’s realm, were the legally required to “serve” the king as his subject for life, and could not leave the realm without the monarch’s license.

This outstanding point was brought up in the Amicus Curiae brief of Eastman and Meese, although not so comprehensively.

Because of this, they ask the SCOTUS to reverse the bad decision made in Wong Kim Ark, which relied on Common Law application of Jus Soli.

Rejecting Feudalism is what America is all about.

"All men are created equal" - Means no man is born a king to rule over others.

Jus Soli should only extend to the children of citizens who willingly wear that title.

The Democrat Party would like to incorporate new slaves to their infinite taxation Socialist State, which the native citizens don't seem to want to knuckle under to.
