100% agree. The most important paragraph is.

That the petitioner’s parents had resided here with the permission of the United States was central to the Court’s holding. Chinese nationals who remain “subjects of the Emperor of China…are entitled to the protection of and owe allegiance to the United States, so long as they are permitted by the United States to reside here,” the decision reads, “and are ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof,’ in the same sense as all other aliens [lawfully] residing in the United States” (emphasis added). The Court explained that to “reside,” in this usage, means to live in a place with the intent to remain there, but not necessarily indefinitely. It is a broader category than “domiciled,” and could apply to long-term visa holders, as well as to lawful permanent residents.


Illegal Aliens do not lawfully reside in the US.

What are “stare decises?”

“Gabriel Canaan’s” opinion, and his concluding “it was intended” is also his opinion.

SCOTUS will offer their usual muddled opinion on the Federal Justices but doubtful they’ll reverse earlier decisions and precedent law on birthright citizenship

Nope. Read the OP.

The OR is an opinion, one man’s opinion, well written, but nothing more than his opinion, that is why I noted in his conclusion he stated it should be enclosed as “it was intended,” according to his opinion, not the law, but his opinion

Just curious. Why do leftists want children born from illegal aliens to be considered citizens? Why is that so important to them?

Why should anyone care about the actual words in the Constitution?

Why do righties want to own weapons used to kill children in school shootings? Why is that so important to them? Just curious.

What is your opinion on Wong Kim Ark and Elk v Wilkins in the OP?
 
anonymoose said:
Same as S.C. justices. They write opinions.
Aside: Do you consider it right to grant automatic citizenship to babies born of illegals?

True, but their opinion becomes law

I don’t really care, I never bought into the immigration armageddon, but I do think it would be inhuman to send some kid who has been living here for ten years or some even longer to some country he doesn’t even know

I'm pretty sure they would start this when the E.O. was signed

If you are here legally then your baby born here is legal. If you are here illegally then your baby is illegal.

Precisely.

These far left loons think it's just swell for an illegal woman to violate our immigration laws, slip across our border...illegally, have a baby...at taxpayer expense... and have the baby be a citizen.

This is one of the factors that caused them to be swamped last Nov.
