Born AND subject to the jurisdiction thereof... You really have no clue do ya?

First you were dead wrong about birthright citizenship not being in the US Code and that it was just some regulation.

I have forgotten more than you know about birthright citizenship. As the head of a grassroots immigration group that lobbies on the Hill for over 10 years, I am well aware of the issues involved with birthright citizenship and the chain of SCOTUS cases, the 14th Amendment, and jus sanguinis and jus solis issues.

Eliminating birthright citizenship will take at the very least an act of Congress. If passed, it will be immediately challenged in the courts as being unconstitutional. Depending upon what SCOTUS rules, it may very well take a constitutional amendment, which is the way Ireland finally eliminated birthright citizenship, the last country in Europe to have it. I strongly favor the elimination of birthright citizenship, but unlike you, I understand how difficult it will be to achieve it.

Here is a good primer on the issues involved with birthright citizenship. Once you have read it, then we can talk about the specifics of the issue.

Every book you think that I haven’t read, I have read. You are wrong, I am right. I hope that you sleep well tonight.
