Justice Story [pre-Fourteenth Amendment] talked about the only exceptions were children of diplomats (diplomatic immunity) or foreign military.

Xenophobic hypocrites like Kirk don't argue unauthorized aliens are immune from local murder charges against e.g., Laken Riley.
Kirk is wrong. Birthright citizenship has its American roots in English common law. It's true that the citizenship clause of the Fourteenth Amendment

was intended to address the exclusions to citizenship under Partus sequitur ventrem. Dred Scott (1/3)https://t.co/ymPXL75HQ7 https://t.co/hlmWHP4kWK
Neither Trump nor Congress can constitutionally strip American-born children of unnaturalized aliens of their birthright citizenship. Any attempt of Trump to deport these citizens will be an impeachable offense.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) December 8, 2024
What's a sad footnote is that Britain itself limited the scope of birthright citizenship since 1983. Australia and New Zealand did similarly later, but Canada still maintains it more consistently.

I do not understand this evil xenophobic obsession with the American children of unauthorized aliens. We are talking maybe 2% of over 330 M Americans over the past generation. We are talking about law-abiding contributing children being brought up in our culture with our values.

I for one will join in opposition to Trump's insane, economically suicidal, unconstitutional scheme to deport aliens and citizens. It's bad enough that hypocritical Christians looked away from Trump's monstrous family separation policies. Everything will end up in court.

If RINO Trump tries to pardon his fellow J6 criminals, he should be impeached.

I don't know why people are talking about pardoning Cheney or Kinzinger. Congressmen have constitutional immunity. The J6 hearings in any event were a legitimate expression of Executive Branch oversight. I don't give a damn about Trump's sensitivity over being held accountable.

No. The correct principle is for the federal government not to subsidize ethanol or sugar; let consumers decide. There are some production (e.g., cost) and product quality issues that led to the growth of HFCS in the latter half of the twentieth century.

I loathe insensitive posts of the type "Thank God it wasn't the actor playing a boxer". Rocky Colavito played between the mid-50's through the latter 60's, much of that period with Cleveland. He was a 9-time All-Star power-hitting outfielder; in 1965 no errors.
