Let’s assume the drafters of that amendment were not morons. They had a choice between:
1. “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside,”
and
2. “All persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
They chose and ratified the second version. The only logical interpretation is that the phrase “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” was intended to have a restrictive meaning. The children of parents with foreign citizenship and no legal residency are constrained by our laws but are subject to the jurisdiction of their parents’ home government, not that of the United States. President Trump is correct.
The most noteworthy thing that happened in the last news cycle is the pitbull-like ferocity that the media, Fox News included, came to George Soros’ defense. The dark lord Sith’s minions are everywhere.
If children of ambassadors who are legally in this country don't qualify for citizenship how could anyone conclude that people here illegally can have their offspring qualify as American citizens? - Tom
So those born to illegals are deported to Northern Mexico. This group then takes over the area, and asks to become part of the US. Is that the plan?
"The US is not required to give asylum since they were originally offered asylum in Mexico and turned it down...
International law states that they must request asylum in the FIRST country outside of their home country...If they don’t, we aren’t required to give it..."
Absolutely correct!

Exactly. This cannot be repeated enough.
No, the plan is to flood this country with fraudulently documented foreigners to force US into another amnesty (tried for in 2006. 2007 & 2013) which would balloon the current 30 million illegal aliens to 100 million and fundamentally transform the USA into North Mexico.
