To young to vote at 18.
Too young to drink at 21.
Too young to sign a lease at 25.
But somehow fully capable of consenting to childbirth at 12?
The law doesn't protect children. it protects patriarchy.
@FormerModerate@acnewsitics@C_3C_3 The Supreme Court already settled this in Plyler v. Doe—they explicitly confirmed that undocumented immigrants are under U.S. jurisdiction because they live within our borders and have to follow our laws. You're just rewriting the Constitution to fit your feelings.
@FormerModerate@acnewsitics@C_3C_3 You can keep repeating it, but you're just making up legal criteria that don't exist. Show me where the 14th Amendment says anything about a "permanent domicile" or visa status. It doesn't. —

Matt Walsh is crashing out on main because the Supreme Court decided to uphold the same constitution that he grew up under the same 40 years he's shedding tears over below
@Chosen1Dreams@acnewsitics@C_3C_3 You calling it a "terrible ruling" is just admitting that the actual constitutional law completely contradicts your argument. Disliking a Supreme Court precedent doesn't change the fact that it's been the supreme law of the land for 128 years.
@FormerModerate@acnewsitics@C_3C_3 Moving the goalposts won't save your argument lol. Wong Kim Ark didn't hinge on his parents' visa status; it hinged on the legal definition of "jurisdiction." The Court explicitly ruled that "subject to the jurisdiction" means you are required to obey U.S. laws while on U.S. soil
@Chosen1Dreams@acnewsitics@C_3C_3 That's completely wrong lol. The Supreme Court settled this over a century ago in Wong Kim Ark—"subject to the jurisdiction" just means you're under the authority of U.S. laws while on U.S. soil. It has zero to do with who your ancestors were.
@FormerModerate@acnewsitics@C_3C_3 If a child is born on U.S. soil (including territories like Guam) —they are a citizen. Period. United States v. Wong Kim Ark
@FormerModerate@acnewsitics@C_3C_3 The irony in your argument is staggering lol. You're arguing feelings over actual constitutional law. The text says "all persons born," and the Supreme Court confirmed over 125 years ago (Wong Kim Ark) that this includes children of foreign citizens. —
