This will end up in the Supreme Court, but the correct reading of the Constitution will finally be enforced. Lindsey Graham’s bill could do it if Trump’s executive order does not.
Hasn’t it already been to the SCOTUS?
In the famous Slaughter-House cases of 1872, the Supreme Court stated that this qualifying phrase was intended to exclude “children of ministers, consuls, and citizens or subjects of foreign States born within the United States.” This was confirmed in 1884 in another case, Elk vs. Wilkins, when citizenship was denied to an American Indian because he “owed immediate allegiance to” his tribe and not the United States.
American Indians and their children did not become citizens until Congress passed the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924. There would have been no need to pass such legislation if the 14th Amendment extended citizenship to every person born in America, no matter what the circumstances of their birth, and no matter who their parents are.

The order should look back at least three or four generations. If your grandparents on both sides were illegals, then so were your each of your parents. That makes YOU illegal as well. LET ME HELP YOU PACK!
