I don't like anchor babies. This is how I would fix it.

Exactly!!! it is about "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" - not about magic soil as these morons want to claim

If you break in and steal a wallet you might find yourself in trouble - is that all it takes to be subject to the jurisdiction?

FUCK NO!! Only morons would claim such a thing

You can't be punished for treason and you can't be drafted into the U.S. military. So you clearly are not subject to the jurisdiction thereof as citizens are
It's fun watching stupid people like you and Fastlane make stupid posts agreeing with one another.

Absolutely fucking yes. If you can be punished according to the statute of law that says break and enter is illegal you are subject to that law.

It is a tautology or an absolute truth.

Conversely the same B & E statute is meaningless to the diplomat as he is not subject to the law.

Fireballs make trebuchets more exciting. LOL

What about the about to be born who's mothers are on US soil. Do they have rights as citizens too?

Asking for an unborn human.
The Constitution ensures that all in US jurisdiction retain their inalienable rights, but whether one is a citizen prior to birth remains an open question. I think one would be justified in prohibiting the unborn from voting.
 
So Bingham diplomats and invading armies specifically but everyone else that is born here is a citizen right? So why did he include the clause "and subject to the jurisdiction there of"
Diplomats are not subject to US jurisdiction.
Invading / occupying martial forces are not subject to US jurisdiction.

Why include the clause at all?
To cover diplomats and occupying martial forces.

Question: how were you convinced that the English clause "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" somehow meant "unless your parents (i.e. other people) are legal residents"? I am genuinely curious.

Can we draft illegal aliens
Apparently, we can conscript anyone.

and do they have the right to vote like you and me?
Illegal aliens cannot vote in Federal elections, while US citizens must be 18 years of age to vote.


Do illegal aliens have the right to stay in the United States like you and I do?
Illegal aliens have no right to remain, while US citizens cannot be removed.

The rest of your arguments about Japanese and Blacks are just red herrings.
They were not my arguments. That was your argument, and I showed why it was invalid.

Can they buy alcohol at least though? Or serve in the military? Can they obtain a driver's license?

WTF are you talking about? Hopefully sarcasm.
 
No, all persons are not.
Well, not Trump, but everybody else.
Such illogic from Trumpian haters, A kid born here who has never been to another country, is not an American. Then what is he? This is the only country he knows. He was born here, lives here, goes to school here, and works here, but he is a Mexican? He is as Mexican as you are.
