the mother was in the US.The key statement that SCOTUS will have to interpret is this:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."
The question regarding "subject to the jurisdiction thereof"
Trump wants to end birthright citizenship — here's what the law says about that
Now the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952, the basic body of US immigration law, also says a "person born in the United States who is subject to the jurisdiction of the United States is a U.S. citizen at birth."
This though was a Congressional act signed by the president at that time.
Again... the key phrase "who is subject to the jurisdiction".
Exactly what does the "jurisdiction" mean?
Well I'm sure this will be the KEY element in the SCOTUS ruling, i.e. a person born or naturalized in the United States is "subject to the (jurisdiction)" what is
this "jurisdiction"?
Jurisdiction: Original, Supreme Court | Federal Judicial Center
Yup and because these illegals are Mexican or whatever nationality they belong to jurisdiction is the key.
They aren't American they are in the jurisdiction of whatever country they come from. That is the key. Jurisdiction.
So, they are not subject to our laws, if one kills someone, they cannot be arrested and charged with a crime?
If they can, then they are in the jurisdiction of the US.
No this jurisdiction is that of the mother.
If they commit murder then they will be tried as murderers.
She was in the US illegally. She didn't have permission to be in the US.
Whatever her nationality is that the jurisdiction for the kids nationality.
Do you also feel that way about all of the Russian women who came to Miami and stayed at the trump hotel, had the kid, then went back to Russia?
