“A child born in the United States, of parents of foreign descent, who are domiciled and resident in the United States, and not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under a foreign government, becomes at the time of birth a citizen of the United States.”


- Wong Kim Ark, majority opinion by justice Horace Gray

Thanks for demonstrating illegal aliens have no birthright citizenship.

Your fear is palpable, Comrade.

Yes, you're going to lose.
 
Domiciled and "resident".

What the hive programs the drones to ignore is "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" which means owing allegiance to this nation and no other.

What is amusing is the same leftists who now stomp their feet and wail that Anchor Babies (rather than birthright citizenship) are a civil right used this same clause to argue that dual citizenship by Jews to Israel was illegal. But consistency and rationality are not present among the Stalinists.

Ark dealt with a child of two Chinese immigrants who were legally present and sponsored by the Union Pacific Railroad in accordance to immigration law at the time. It does NOT deal with illegal aliens dropping a baby being granted automatic citizenship.

What does it mean to reside?
 
What does it mean to reside?
One's legal presence. If that's not what the quote meant, it wouldn't have included the word domiciled. Why would they repeat the same thing twice? You're about the shittiest fake lawyer I've ever seen on the interwebs.

Irrelevant.

The question is what "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" means.

This amendment’s language was derived from the 1866 Civil Rights Act, which provided that “[a]ll persons born in the United States, and not subject to any foreign power” would be considered citizens.

No, that is not what it means. Use a dictionary if necessary.

The Court in Wong Kim Ark answered that.
