Ratified in 1868, the Fourteenth Amendment opens with the Citizenship Clause and reads: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
The Supreme Court addressed the meaning of this key provision in United States v. Wong Kim Ark 169 U.S. 649 (1898). In its, ruling it extended the fourteenth amendment to U.S.-born children of foreign subjects or citizens who, at the time of the child’s birth, are permanent residents and are carrying on business in the United States.
The Wong Kim Ark case is a cornerstone of U.S. citizenship law, reinforcing the principle that citizenship is granted to anyone born on American soil, irrespective of their parents' nationality or immigration status. https://t.co/WZr3hfIB5j
Today’s decision regarding birthright citizenship is a travesty.
The Fourteenth Amendment was written to overturn Dred Scott and guarantee citizenship to freed slaves—not to create automatic citizenship for the children of those who violate our immigration laws or are only temporarily in the United States. This decision will only invite further exploitation of our immigration system.
The Court adopted an interpretation that departs from the original meaning of the Constitution and incentivizes illegal immigration.
Congress retains the authority to clarify federal law, and it should act immediately to restore the original meaning of the Citizenship Clause and protect the integrity of American citizenship.

@tony_vargas45 Whether or not he’s Dutch is a function of man made designations ascribing the essence of the “Dutch” qualification and that is all that matters. All else is noise and inconsequential.

A lump sum of USD 8,000 at retirement feels like a fortune. Spread across a 25-year retirement, it is about USD 27 a month. In this edition I unpack why Uganda and Kenya’s pension structures leave retirees exposed, how Rwanda and Tanzania do it differently, and what individuals and regulators can change.

NRM govt launched ambitious 10-pt program in 1986. 40 yrs later, all 10 pts remain relevant to Ugandans.
I created a public survey to assess govt success on these pts. Take it to view NRM's overall scorecard. Short 10-q survey at this link. https://t.co/2y1UHWOHsF
