What I've been waiting for:
@adamliptak weighs in with a history lesson: "In congressional debates about the 14th Amendment in 1866, lawmakers said its sweep should be wide." https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/30/us/politics/birthright-citizenship-executive-order-trump.html …pic.twitter.com/3rJqLiIDVW

It’s not covered under the constitution as the leftist media wants you to believe.
-
https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/amendmentxiv … Its literally the first sentence in Section 1. Last I checked, leftist media didn't write the constitution.
-
Might wanna read beyond the first sentence and focus on the jurisdiction section.

That makes absolutely no sense. If they weren’t under our jurisdiction that means they are under the jurisdiction of some other nation. Guaranteeing the fact that they are not US citizens. Look up “reading comprehension” while you’ve got the dictionary out.
-
It makes perfect sense. Unless you want it where one can't charge them with crimes committed. Might want to follow your own advice. If there's no jurisdiction, there is no authority. Quotes from those when they were debating the amendment also support this.
-
So unless you're saying that immigrants can't be charged with things like theft, trespassing, assault, murder, etc... yes, they are under our jurisdiction while in the country. There's also a multitude of other issues if you don't admit jurisdiction.
-
Why do I say this? Well its one of the definitions of jurisdiction: "the official power to make legal decisions and judgments."

Trump moving us in the wrong direction, again; a backward way of looking at modern America. The Republican party has a problem. It's not from kids being born here; our problems are often from Republican policy that makes it hard to establish a decent living, citizen or not.

Thank you for that. Now can you get them to swap this in for the still-too-credulouos straight news story on the home page, and make sure neither appear on tomorrow’s front page? ;-)

The president is right. We need to stop birth rights in this.

Screw legal consensus. There are only 5 white men (2 who owe their jobs to Trump) who can tell Trump he is wrong.

Your article fails to mention that Wong Kim Ark's parents were LEGAL aliens domiciled in San Francisco at the time of his birth. The whole argument will turn on the meaning of the clause "subject to the jurisdiction (of the United States)".

potus will try this. Executive Order will fail in courts. Any legislation by repubs won’t fly in both houses, & even if it does will get turned over in courts. Constitution and historical record will stand tall. For someone who loves Constitution trump picks & chooses from it.
