“Chihuahua George”. Lulz. That's a new one on me.

Me too; I always just referred to him as Romney the Rambler, for several reasons.

It is the law of the land as incorporated into US Code.

You have stated that in several of your threads and I have no doubt you are sincere. However, "the law of the land" that would support anchor baby citizenship is not to be found in TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER III > Part I > § 1401, as I pointed out upthread.

Can you cite a law that does support such citizenship?
Do you know of any USSC decision that supports it?

Thank you for the link in your reply. It gives us this statement: “Nevertheless, the practice has become the de facto law of the land without any input from Congress or the American public.”
If you agree with that statement you and I are not that far apart.

It is not the State Department that is making that judgment.

That may be technically correct. However, State is the branch of government responsible for issuing passports.
Are they immune from criticism if they issue to non-citizens, U.S. passports that indicate the bearer is a citizen?

...but the fact remains that we recognize birthright citizenship.

We certainly do, but only as a matter of policy or unappealed political lower court decisions. America has not been paying attention and things are a mess and heading for serious problems. Politicians have made the U.S. taxpayers the welfare and health department for other nations in return for which the politicans get the votes of those welfare recipients. That is a sweet deal.

Have you ever wondered for what purpose every BC issued in America, at least perhaps until recently, indicated the birthplace of the parents?

Thank you. kabar, for bearing with me.

As Algore so cleverly pointed out when he attacked Dukakis, even Willy Horton didn’t really bother MD Democrats all that much.
