Child born on American soil does not become American citizen. Is also potentially not a citizen of his parents’ home country. A stateless person.
johnwk2:What about Wong Kim Ark?
Your boy Gray supported the concept that a person born in the United States, but his parents were citizens of China, was a naturalized citizen.
Are you now admitting Wong Kim Ark has nothing to do with addressing the question if the wording in the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to children born to foreign nationals while on American soil, or grants citizenship to children born to illegal entrants while on American soil?

Ah, I thought so. Can you provide an example of a country where the child would not be a resident of the illegal parent’s country from any country involved in the invasion please?

He knows what you were talking about. He just likes to see people respond to his posts.
As the law currently stands today, a child born in the United States, but neither parent are citizens or permanent residents are citizens of the United States.
You forgot to post the statutory law enacted by Congress. Did you just make that law up?

Are there countries that do not confer citizenship to a child born of two citizens if that child is born on foreign soil?

Syria. Citizenship is passed paternally. If a woman gives birth outside Syria and is unable to prove the father is Syrian (father not present and/or does not have proper documentation), then the child is not given Syrian citizenship.
Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Tunisia. I’m sure there are others. Citizenship is passed paternally.
Saudi Arabia, Iran and Qatar, too.

Syria is invading us? There are Syrians pouring across our borders?

The non-citizenship would apply to Syrians too, regardless of whether they are “invading” us or not.

this invasion thing reminds me of right before the last election when Republicans tried to convince everyone that our country sucked (so they could save it). really, really effective dirty pool.
if demoncrats did that it would be tyrannical
It’s time for midterms, he’s desperate, and he’s a moron. Trump might actually believe what he says. He’s that stupid.

You are incorrect. 22 million is an invasion. You are correct, it is several countries with mostly the same culture.
They aren’t fleeing from their homes to find a better life. They are coming here because of our life.
Correct. Birthright citizenship has worked out really, really well for the United States
Expanded the population from 172,000,000 in 1957 to 325,000,000 in 2017
Compare that to the UK that does not grant birthright citizenship
They went from 51,000,000 in 1957 to 66,000,000 in 2017
Birthright citizenship has expanded the economy.

So incentivizing illegal immigration is a good thing. Got it.
