You're redefining the word. Look it up. And that doesn't address their children who have never been to these other places, no corruption of blood. They would have to not be citizens if anywhere, which doesn't exist. If it does when what is the word for it?


Subject:

Quote
a citizen or member of a state other than its supreme ruler.

Doesn't address their children who we are talking about either.

I'm not arguing about making American citizens out of all illegal immigrants but you're arguing against that I feel like.

Dude, I'm on my phone. Googled "subject" and grabbed the definition I knew would be there.

Again though I'm not arguing about making illegal immigrants American citizens. I'm talking people who are born in the United States.

Remember Elian Gonzalas? People were so against sending him back to Cuba even though he came here illegally. Things have changed lol.

I copy pasted the definition earlier in the thread from the dictionary. It probably has a legal definition, a term of art they call it, I'll check that. If you're interested in a correct answer. I'm a pragmatist so I'm not as married to my positions as you are.

A naturalized citizen is one who becomes a citizen after birth.

It DOES say something about the parents, that they be "subject to the jurisdiction thereof."



Also from the same source:



It's almost as if... it's been misinterpreted from the outset, even contrary to the assertions of the man who wrote it!


How can someone misinterpret their own words?

Of course it addresses their children. People born here (we'll call them children) AND subjects of our jurisdiction.

Illegal immigrants children are subjects of their parents' jurisdictions.

Stop it. That would create a dual citizen situation like it always has up until now. Already a process and framework for this. And its old.

The people questioning Senator Howard (who wrote it) are misinterpreting him. He wrote the Civil Rights Act as well. He clearly intended to exclude Indians and children of citizens of foreign jurisdictions.

Born here of parents who are subjects of a foreign jurisdiction are not citizens.

You're using tautology though and other arguments are much more compelling, such as textual legal interpretation and historical based arguments.
