Is it something bigger that the left gets and dare not speak it? Roe v Wade, Anchor Babies, and Gay Marriage IMHO are they all misuse/misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment and if one of them fails ( my guess anchor babies will come up 1st ) that the other 2 naturally will have to be revisited? The progressive left can’t have it.
>the other 2 naturally will have to be revisited?
I guess one could always throw birth control in there and make it three. The lines can be fluid.
The rule that children born on U.S. soil to alien parents are U.S. citizens is much older than the 14th Amendment.
"Therefore every person born within the United States, its territories or districts, whether the parents are citizens or aliens, is a natural born citizen in the sense of the Constitution, and entitled to all the rights and privileges appertaining to that capacity."-- William Rawle, A View of the Constitution of the United States (1829).
