Popular opinion: we should protect children from everything that makes us feel bad.
Me: let children play, get hurt, see shit you don't like and the world as it really is. Stop coddling them to being incapable of functioning in society. You aren't helping them.
SCOTUS: “The 14th Amendment means even if you’re born to illegals if they give birth to you on American soil you’re an American!”
Jacob Howard Author of the 14th:
“This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens.”
@kakoptev@2miles_aweigh@AP Irrelevant.
You are not subject to the jurisdiction of the laws of the us, you are not warrented protections of the US, and you are not bound by the passport of the US if you are not a citizen of the US.
Subject to the jurisdiction of means you are the subject of the US
@kakoptev@2miles_aweigh@AP You ignored my comment.
You seem to not understand what the concept of "subject to the jurisdiction" actually means.
Again, this not about only when they are in the US. This is about the individual at any point at any location. The 14th's write agrees with me.
@kakoptev@2miles_aweigh@AP If you aren't in their house only your rules applied.
Its the same concept. To be subject to the jurisdiction of the US means you have to always have US laws applied. That means citizens. That does not mean illegals or foreign nationals.
@kakoptev@2miles_aweigh@AP They are NOT subject to US laws, that is the part you are missing. Its like going to your friends house as a kid, you had your rules and they had thiers, if you broke their rules you got in trouble and kicked out if you broke your rules you got yanked back and punished. 1/2
@kakoptev@2miles_aweigh@AP So we can pull a random foreign national knto our country that has never been in our country? That is what it means by your interpretation. And again the person that wrote the 14 disagrees with you.
@kakoptev@2miles_aweigh@AP That isn't what subject to the jurisdiction of means. Not in this context nor has it ever. A subject is a citizen of another nation, to be subject to the jurisdiction of means unremovable, a Citizen of the nation that has jurisdiction. The writer disagrees with you.
@2miles_aweigh@AP It wasn't. Dude.
Language is clear, subject to the jurisdiction thereof, means you have to be a lawful resident, not subject to expulsion or removal. You are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United states if we can just remove you and not put up with your crap.
Here’s the roll call of members of Congress who betrayed the Constitution and the American people by voting yes on the KIDS Act.
The sickest part is that these people used “protecting kids” as an excuse to further insert government between parents and their children—all while establishing a surveillance infrastructure to monitor and control Americans of all ages.
The fact you all are echoing the same words as the UK "Think of the Children" to force this through says everything about your intentions
People are not blind and see what's going on within the UK and EU right now. This is just a way to invade privacy and introduce censorship
@ChibiReviews well, no. there were enough people who voted against it that i think it sets it up to be dead in senate. the only concern i have is the dumbfuck speaker saying positive things about it.
we've always known both parties are doing this. that isnt new.
