[Arthur Wildfire! March]

In post 62, Yoesemitest quoted Rush Limbaugh — very powerful case to back up Trump. And more research in post 63.

Here is the meat:

Quote, “This,” meaning the 14th Amendment…

“This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers…”

It was expressly intended to confer citizenship to slaves and their descendants.

There was an 1884 case, Elk v. Wilkins.

The Supreme Court ruled the 14th Amendment did not even confer citizenship on Native Americans because they were subject to tribal jurisdiction, not U.S. jurisdiction.

Well, an illegal alien here is not subject to U.S. jurisdiction. They’re under the jurisdiction of where they came from if they’re here illegally.

Guess when this all changed ?

In the 1960s !

[entire quote also awesome — only thing in the way is the leftist indoctrination of law students that elevates recent ‘settled law’ above original intent.]

I should have included you both in this important ping.

If you read post 65 I doubt you will regret it.

Excellent...
