"People who would not be "subject to the jurisdiction" thereof would be foreign diplomats and soldiers of an enemy army, or so was opined in Ark."

And, of course their children, as well.

Two of the primary authors of the 14th Amendment said that their intent was to EXCLUDE illegals, aliens, ambassadors, etc...

“Subject to the jurisdiction” is a term that has been around for longer than Europe new of the North American continent! If has ALWAYS meant “allegiance to!” During the dark ages, if a knight plundered another kingdom and raped the queen of his conquered kingdom, his child was automatically “subject to the jurisdiction” of the KNIGHT’s King - because his allegiance followed the father!

Just like Obama! He has allegiance to England - because Kenya was under the jurisdiction of England when he was born; therefore, he is subject to the jurisdiction of England as well as America!

Just because progressive judges have ruled that it means the new meanings ONLY, doesn’t change the original intent!

“People who would not be ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ thereof would be foreign diplomats and soldiers of an enemy army, or so was opined in Ark.”

Remember that all four of the dissenters in Plyler v. Doe stated that the opinion was wrong headed simply because the court overstepped it’s bounds by doing Congress’ job!

At the time, the holding was unconstitutional because “...discrimination on the basis of immigration status did not further a substantial state interest.”

TODAY, looking at the continuing growth in the cost of a basic education in Texas, Arizona, etc... due to the continual increase in illegal immigrant children, I think it could EASILY be proven to be a “substantial state interest!”
