Birthright citizenship
Hodad replied to paxamericana's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Nope. Remember the quotes and explanations from just a few posts ago. The phrase "subject to the jurisdiction" is to provide carve outs for people born here but literally not subject to the jurisdiction of the US, i.e. the children of foreign diplomats and Native Americans (which at that time were citizens of their nations but not of the US). That's plainly stated. And please read the Blackstone passage, in which he explains what "allegiance" meant in that legal context. Blackstone is what the authors were trained on. You have the relationship between the words backward. Jurisdiction is exactly as it is today. -

No, If “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” just meant physically present in the U.S., it adds nothing to “born in the United States.” The phrase only does real work if it means something more — i.e., allegiance. The word “jurisdiction” was borrowed from international law of the era, where it carried allegiance connotations -

Only in your food and water, Dear... -
Good work, Trump! Next I can assume we'll get more arsenic in the food supply and more lead in the water. -- If those manufacturers give him a trophy, that is.

Not so strange. You cite a 2023 article during Brandon's assault on fossil fuels. Just think Mike...the end of the climate fear campaign is here. Isn't that great? One less thing to fuel the culture war you hate so much. -
But you people have been saying for years that it's everybody for themselves. Next you'll be saying we should raise taxes for social programs. Scrape 'em off.

Well well, what is it with the sexual fantasies you lefties always conjure up, must be an admission of some sort.

Oct 26, 1927 Sister Mary Gabriel, Provincial Superior to Duncan Scott, Deputy Minister of Indian Affairs, Ottawa Re: Kamloops Residential School in need of funding "Father McGuire has labored here ten years and not one cent of salary did he accept; all was turned into the common fund for the betterment of the Indians. He has hardly a suit of clothes to his name and lives in a condition which no ordinary man, save one who has dedicated his life to missionary work, would possibly endure." June 30, 1945 Lejac Indian Residential School. BC "These two girls have passed the B.C. Provincial tests for Grade VIII, and are now ready to being their work for Grade IX. However, both of them have just passed their sixteenth birthdays and are thus eligible for discharge." "Since both girls, with their parents' consent, wish to continue with their education, I hereby make application to the Indian Department for the necessary permission to allow these pupils to remain in school. It is my opinion, and that of their other teachers, that both girls are worthy and capable of doing high school work." My gawd, these people were monsters.
