What other cases has SCOTUS interpreted "subject to legal jurisdiction"?
If there are multiple cases, is there consistency in the interpretation?
They were not legal or illegal as the concept didn't exist until the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
What you (Trump) is suggesting is we change the long standing belief that being born here makes you a citizen.
Does that mean Baron has to go?
I'm suggesting nothing. I'm bringing up the irony of liberals wanting a strict interpretation of the writing of the 14th and conservatives wanting a looser interpretation. Those are opposing positions to what would normally be the case. "No I am not suggesting but 'bringing up' is somehow different is irony
Personally, I am a strict constitutionalist. I also don't like the "anchor baby" way of granting citizenship to kids of illegals. In this situation, I don't think I get it both ways. Who is 'suggesting' that citizenship be automatically granted to these undocumented parents. A humane approach is needed for these children instead tearing up families and extended families through deportation
