Inorder to understand the position against birth right citizenship you must understand the historical context of the 14th amendment.

The 14th Amendment was passed in 1868, right after the Civil War, to make sure that former slaves were given full U.S. citizenship and protected under the law. Before that, Black Americans were not considered citizens because of the Supreme Court’s Dred Scott decision (1857), which ruled that Black people, even if free, could never be U.S. citizens.

The purpose of the 14th Amendment was to reverse Dred Scott and ensure that freed slaves and their children were legally recognized as Americans. However, when lawmakers wrote the amendment, they did not intend for it to grant automatic citizenship to everyone born on U.S. soil regardless of their parents' status.

What Did "Subject to the Jurisdiction" Mean?
When the amendment was being debated, the lawmakers made it clear that it did not apply to:
- Foreign diplomats’ children (because their parents were under another country’s laws).
- Native Americans living in tribal nations (because they were considered part of their own governments at the time).
- Foreigners passing through the U.S. (this is where the debate on illegal immigrants comes in).

Senator Jacob Howard, who helped write the 14th Amendment, specifically said it would not include “persons born in the U.S. who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers.” This suggests they were not thinking about granting citizenship to children of illegal immigrants or temporary visitors.

How Was It Applied Historically?
- Native Americans were not granted automatic U.S. citizenship until Congress passed the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924.
- Chinese immigrants, who were barred from becoming U.S. citizens under racist laws, had children who were recognized as citizens in United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898)—but that case involved legal immigrants, not illegal ones.
- The debate over birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants didn’t become a big issue until the late 20th century, when illegal immigration surged.
Why Does This Matter Today?
The 14th Amendment was meant to help freed slaves, not to create a loophole for illegal immigration. If lawmakers in 1868 never intended to grant automatic citizenship to foreigners' children, the U.S. has the right to clarify or restrict birthright citizenship today.

Hello Mr. Clinton,

I'm not going to extend to you the courtesy that your paragraph about lawfare extends to Trump supporters. Because I've studied enough of you, to know what you are truly about.

You were President during the post-Cold War sugar high. I have it thoroughly documented that you and your administration met with George Soros frequently, and in short term changed your policy positions to fit whatever George Soros proposed.

Which was: continuous military intervention all over the world. Starting with the bombing of Yugoslavia. You were the original neoconservative. Madeline Albright used "open society" phrasing in communicating your foreign policy documents. You are a part of the long string of failures of nation-building in the name of democracy, the Western interventions that resulted in millions of mass migrants overwhelming our borders, artificial famines, and us building the infrastructure that enabled China to take over the Africa continent and extract African resources for themselves.

But. Most of all. Those of us -- and there are a good deal many of us -- who have been ruined by lawfare. @GenFlynn sacrificed everything. @JeffClarkUS has had his life ruined and is still rebuilding. At the end of the day, only one President has been the subject of repeated assassination attempts and eighty-plus indictments - and it's President Trump. Not anyone in your orbit.

Seriously, Bill. What do you think when you see that a Democrat gets indicted by a grand jury, and a judge inevitably overturns that indictment on grounds that nobody has heard of? "Oh wow the judges are so wise and saw right through a jury of peers! And that wisdom coincidentally happens to always fall on party lines!" Give me a break.

Every single one of us on the right-wing side knows that when your side regains power, your side will turn the full might of lawfare on us. You will cheer on mass incarcerations. You openly brag about that. You even toe the line of threatening to jail current military members if they don't refuse orders from Pete Hegseth.

You are the evil one here. You cheer on the burning of our cities. You cheer on lawfare of Republicans. You never apologized for the millions of lives disrupted all over the world. You never say a word about the billions or even trillions of dollars that have been robbed by your friends through corrupt NGOs.

The fact that none of you are in jail, proves that we are the powerless ones here. You're just afraid that someone sees you for you who are, and you secretly know that image is ugly.

Freedom isn't rationed healthcare and government-run housing — it's the ability to build a life without a bureaucrat's permission. Every place that tried "liberation" through central planning ended up with less freedom, not more. Growth built the good life. Grievance never has.
"Rigged system" doesn't hold up when the US has the highest median wealth, the world's top destination for immigrants, and more Nobel laureates than anywhere else. "Billionaires poisoned the planet" is a slogan, not an argument. Housing is expensive because of local zoning, not "war profiteers." And throwing Palestine and Puerto Rico into the same "liberation" story as US healthcare policy isn't analysis — it's just pattern-matching grievances together because they sound good in a speech.

He’s been trained by his political handlers to smile almost incessantly. It’s an obvious forced smile to make his odious policies seem reasonable and safe.

Here, he’s lost the smile. The result? He and his message convey their inherent hostility.
