Never heard of maternity hotels. Learn something new on FR every day.

No more anchor babies.

Life begins at conception so the babies are foreign. Guess this is another reason libs are so bent on claiming they’re nothing but blobs of cells until they pass through the birth canal and POOF! magically turn into little humans.

That’s why we should take them in and raise them American, but mom & dad go home.

Or change the rules.

The fact that they fraudulently received and paid the delivery at indigent prices shows they have no respect whatsoever for American citizens and taxpayers.

A convention of states could end up shipping straight white males to death camps as part of the new constitution—no thanks!

BRAVO!!!

Decades overdue.

Of course, if automatic citizenship for being born in the US is eliminated, the problem goes away.

Friends foes, tourists, spies, terrorists, doesn't matter.

It's irrational to assume that was the Founders' intent.

That judicial overreach decision has got to go!
It's totally the exclusive power of the Legislature!

And anyone who thinks the Chinese government isn’t encouraging this has their head in the sand.

Yep. Calling for a Convention of States is risky business. But as of today, the GOP controls roughly 2/3 of the state legislatures. So anything that comes out of a Convention would probably be pretty reasonable.

But as more and more illegals flood in, control will change. So it’s either now or never.

“under the jurisdiction of” is defined in US code. Fix it there.

If mom can be arrested for being a drug mule or any other crime such as income tax evasion or illegal entry in the USA, she’s under the jurisdiction of the US.

It takes a Constitutional amendment.

A DACA II amnesty should only be effective upon ratification.

A two-week addition to the DACA delay date would be added for each state ratification.

Republican-run states could wait until Democratic-run states have ratified just so Democratic legislatures would have to ratify ASAP.

If the Senate Democrats refuse to play ball, they’ll feel Hispanic heat fast.

“the Founders’ intent”

Amendment XIV was prepared by the Republican Reconstruction era Senate.

“intent”

The intent was solely to ensure the offspring of American black slaves would be US citizens and could vote Republican.

“If mom can be arrested for being a drug mule or any other crime such as income tax evasion or illegal entry in the USA, she’s under the jurisdiction of the US.”

So says you, but it is defined here”

https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/31/515.329

and here:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/31/515.330

So the statute can be revised.

"So says you, but it is defined here"

He is correct. Those rules define the "person" who is under the jurisdiction. Remove someone from that and you make them not under the jurisdiction, which means not subject to our laws.

There should be at least a one year moratorium on immigration. When unfettered immigration destroys American, then what?

Remove someone from that and you make them not under the jurisdiction, which means not subject to our laws. Not sure that being arrested for a crime makes someone a subject of the jurisdiction. They certainly would not be subject to the draft, call for jury duty or other obligations of a citizen. But it would be a stretch to say that they could therefore violate out laws with impunity.

By their own words, the drafters of the 14th amendment did not intend that it would convey citizenship to foreigners. The children of foreigners here illegally are themselves illegal foreigners.

"Not sure that being arrested for a crime makes someone a subject of the jurisdiction."

Being arrested doesn't make you "subject to the jurisdiction". You have to be "subject to the jurisdiction" to be arrested. What the phrase means is subject to the law. People who are not subject to the jurisdiction have some form of immunity, or are otherwise not bound by our law. Mainly, diplomatic immunity and invading soldiers.

"By their own words, the drafters of the 14th amendment did not intend that it would convey citizenship to foreigners."

By the words of the 14th (and the pre-existing law) being born here makes one a citizen.

"The children of foreigners here illegally are themselves illegal foreigners."

Unless they are born here, in which case they are citizens.
