View the full article this is another of the many weird policies that previous presidents should have fixed but didn't. And people wonder why I love Trump? No one should be a citizen just because he or she is born on our soil, when the parents are illegal. That makes about much sense as.. our asylum policies (which are also being changed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also seem to toss out Leviticus 19:33-34 When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. 34 The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born.

[emphasis added] children born to illegals are not subject to the jurisdiction thereof because their parents are illegal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my country whether someone is in the country legally or legally.. I think they are still under the jurisdiction of the laws here? Isn't it the same in the Usa? Just wondering what was meant. Thanks. *edited to add the correction below An exemption : folk with diplomatic immunity etc might not be under the jurusdiction of the laws of the country they are serving in.. but most other folk are I think?

That alone does not make them a citizen. Only going through the process of becoming a citizen makes them a legal citizen.

That alone does not make them a citizen. Only going through the process of becoming a citizen makes them a legal citizen. Thanks for explaining. I am still a bit puzzled though. Is the term "jurisdiction" in the 14th Ammendment sentence refering to a different type of jurisdiction and not refering to someone being subject to a country's laws etc? If so I am wondering what is the type of jurisdiction that is being refered to? Is it refering to jurisdiction countries have over their own citizens? I am wondering partly because *if * the jurisdiction that is being refered to is the jurisdiction that different countries have over their own citizens.... then in the case of any child being born on Usa soil.. including those born to american parents.. wouldn't that child need to already have american citizenship in order to be subject to that type of jurisdiction? (since I think that type of jurisdiction applies to those who are already citizens of a country?.. and that sentence in the Ammendment regarding jurisdiction I think seems to be refering specifically to the child and not the parent?) So in other words.. in order to be given american citizenship.. a child would need to already be an american citizen..... ? Or in yet other words.. in order for the child to be 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof' .. (assuming that the word jurisdiction in that sentence is refering to a jurisdiction that countries have over their own citizens).. the child would need to already be an american citizen.... But to already be an american citizen the child would first have to be subject to the jurisdiction of the Usa.. Sorry but to me I think that is confusing..? It seems almost like a catch 22 situation? Or maybe I am just confusing myself lol Sorry! Thanks for your patience. ps I don't know the whole Ammendment.. so am just refering to the sentence /clip that was quoted earlier in this thread. ..If elsewhere in the American Constitution or Ammendment.. this issue had already been explained .. then please forgive me. Just basing the catch 22 perception on just that earlier sentence / clip. Thanks and sorry. Edited September 15, 2019 by just_abc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
