Fuck anchor babies!

Emmerich de Vattel’s The Law of Nations

“The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.

Madison, Hamilton and Jay were all very well acquainted with his work.

If her parents were not citizens. And she was not raised in USA. She's a dreamer. Stop making concessions on this.

WRONG! she was born to NON CITIZENS. That makes her not "natural born". If you get citizenship sometime after that doesn't count. Both Parents have to be legal citizens at time of birth

Not both but at least one, in her case it was neither.

Under the 14th Amendment's Naturalization Clause and the Supreme Court case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 US. 649, anyone born on U.S. soil and subject to its jurisdiction is a natural born citizen, regardless of parental citizenship. This type of citizenship is referred to as birthright citizenship.

The 14th Amendment was written in reference to former slaves and their children. It was never intended to cover illegal aliens giving birth to children that happened to occur on US soil. That particular issue has never been settled or finalized by SCOTUS...yet.

"Even in U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, the 1898 case most often cited by “birthright” supporters due to its overbroad language, the court only held that a child born of lawful, permanent residents was a U.S. citizen. That is a far cry from saying that a child born of individuals who are here illegally must be considered a U.S. citizen."

Agreed. #FakeNews is the left's business. Hope it stays that way. We'll defeat lies with the truth - not more lies.
