Three weeks from now the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on Birthright Citizenship. Since 2009, I’ve written over 36 blogs on various aspects of the 14th Amendment, Birthright Citizenship, and Natural Born Citizenship.
This post will avoid the ‘granularity’ of deep dive research and get right to the point.
Please, share it with as many of your friends as possible.
If parents have existing foreign citizenship, the 14th Amendment ‘born in the United States’ citizenship at birth clause DOES NOT APPLY to their children.
WHY? Because the child already has the citizenship of their parents’ national jurisdiction. The 14th Amendment was drafted from the 1866 Civil Rights Act to ‘cure’ stateless children whose parents had no nationality to confer, NOT to create ‘dual’ or ‘hybrid’ citizens which is a Conflict of Law.
The chief author of the 14th Amendment, Sen. John A. Bingham, wrote:
“[E]very human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.” Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866), Sec. 1992 of U.S. Revised Statutes (1866)
And that is, as Thomas Jefferson advised, the language and intent of the law as written.
Justice Gray in Wong Kim Ark and all the ‘experts’ and jurists who declare ‘native birth’ provides the fundamental right of citizenship, citing hundreds of opinions, misinterpreting what ‘jurisdiction’ is, or saying ‘legal domicile’ to make the ‘State wherein they reside’ mean something it never did, are merely gaslighting.
The truth is, as you’ve seen here, much simpler and direct.
Again, please share this. And you are welcome to read my latest blogs on Birthright Citizenship and how the Wong Kim Ark case was decided unconstitutionally.
