| LiquorandGunFun said: it was to make the then slaves American citizens, it was never meant to naturalize illegals, as they are not citizens and therefor are not under the jurisdiction of the US but the country they came in illegally from. Even native americans did not qualify as they were under tribal jurisdiction. i also find it funny how now the left is concerned about the constitution all of a sudden. |
The ruling on native Americans was about people being born on tribal land which was not govern by the USA. It also did not apply to foreign diplomats because they had diplomat immunity and there fore not subject to our laws.
There are many many illegal immigrants serving jail time in state and federal prisons in USA so clearly they ARE subject to our jurisdiction. There fore the 14 amendment should apply to them.
