“It is in vain we look into the Constitution of the United States for a definition of the term “citizen.” It speaks of citizens, but in no express terms defines what it means by it. We must depend upon the general law relating to subject and citizens recognized by all nations for a definition, and that must lead to a conclusion that every person born in the United States is a natural born citizen of such States, except it may be that children born on our soil to temporary sojourners or representatives of foreign Governments are native born citizens of the United States. Thus it is expressed by a writer on the Constitution of the United States: “Therefore every person born within the United States, its territories or districts, whether the parents are citizens or aliens, is a natural born citizen in the sense of the Constitution, and entitled to all the rights and privileges appertaining to that capacity.” Rawle on the Constitution, pg. 86.” Rep. Wilson. Cong. Globe, 39th Cong., lst Sess. 1117 (1866).
“I have already said that in my opinion, birth entitles a person to citizenship, that every free-born person in this land is, by virtue of being born here, a citizen of the United States.” Senator Trumbull, Cong. Globe, 39th Cong. 1st session. 600 (1866)
Post another garbage article from a follower of Zognald, Zionist trash.

This is true provided the parents are citizens. The reason for the 14th was to give the existing parents citizenship. The need for it ended with that generation of slaves.

The words of statesmen being misconstrued by zionists filth is the issue here. If we keep changing amendments that don’t ban alcohol it’ll be the same issue that the fucking Democrats have.
And almost all the issues stemming from these countries is because of the fucking drug trade that was used to fund paramilitary groups in the fucking first place. You can keep blaming illegals but it doesn’t fix the issue with our drug laws, neocon horseshit like this article makes me want to vomit because fucktards keep misconstruing basic fucking English.
If this amendment meant the children of foreigners were barred, it would have fucking said people born in this country with native born parents. But the only people who disagreed with this sentiment were the same people who imported people from other fucking countries to reap short term profits, then proceeding to ban them to keep money and land because they were fat lazy pigs. I’m so sick of fucking numb skulls preaching the words of the fucktards as the holy gospel
