Birthright Citizenship is Teed Up Again

And if they wanted it to apply to illegal aliens they would have pointed them out

Instead the idea it didn't cover "illegal aliens" is like saying that the 2nd amendment didn't cover "machine guns". As neither existed at the time the amendments were written.
The term "illegal alien" originated in the 1890s, and was first used in the San Antonio (Texas) Daily Light in 1895. The term was used in literature by 1924, and in the media in 1926 in an article in the New York Times.

The term "machine gun" originated in the 1860s and was first used in Richard Gatling's patent for the Gatling gun:
 
Your ignorance is on display yet again, ensign.

Try to keep up.

First off, I hadn’t claimed it was in the Constitution.

Secondly, it is in the Constitution.

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens ….”

You’re dismissed, ensign.
Illegal aliens are "subject to the jurisdiction" of the united states.
If they weren't, we would have no authority to deport them.

"Subject to the jurisdiction" means that a person, entity, or situation falls under the legal authority of a specific court or governing body, implying that they are bound by the laws and rules enforced within that jurisdiction; essentially, it means they can be legally acted upon within that area or by that authority.
 
Actually you've described anchor people. who can be a relative of any age.
Like the way Melania Trump was able to bring in her parents.
And she's no baby.

For some reason its very important to the lefties posting here that illegal aliens, fake asylum seekers, tourists from china and any other random woman from the 3rd World be able to birth US citizens

I dont know if we can change that during the next 4 years or not

But for the well being of America we are going to try
 
There is. Anchoring is involved. Thus, the term.
The concept of an anchor baby is a myth created by people who cannot figure out what to call them. There is a baby, but no anchor is involved. As Tom Homan has explicitly stated, illegals with children who are US citizens can be deported and have been for decades. No anchoring allowed in this area should be shown on all maps and charts of the US.
 
We could deny pregnant women entry to the country till the birthright problem has been fixed
Hey lady, you look pretty fat! You could be pregnant, so no entry for you.

You going to do a pelvic exam to determine if they are pregnant? Blood test? Urinalysis? You really don't think much past emotional knee-jerk responses, do you?
 
Pass the amendment. That is what is required. I would be all for it, but you don't seem to think it is necessary when it actually is.
I’m not convinced it would require an amendment.

The current amendment is the subject of discussion and debate as I had previously noted. So what could be needed instead of an amendment is a Congressionally passed law to state clearly what it means; or perhaps an Executive Order directing how it shall be interpreted by the Immigration agents and courts.

Either would likely lead to a court challenge. And perhaps the SCOTUS would then have to revisit the viability of its previous interpretation. And overrule it.

Not gonna happen.

No. It’s not.

It is merely a convenient term of art referring to an alien woman having her baby on US soil which then (if we buy birthright by place of birth) makes the child a U.S. citizen. If the child is a U.S. citizen, then he serves to anchor applications for other family members to come her and to seek citizenship on that basis.

Anchor babies is not the only term used for this scenario. But it works.
