I think the 14th is good law. It firmed up some things, cleared up some things, addressed a huge problem with a segment of society.
I like jus soli, especially given the absence of fathers. Look at how stateless the DACA kids are.
The birth tourism needs to be dealt with a different way.
If they were born on American soil with American BC then yes, those children are American citizen.
illegal border crossing can be dealt with increasing the number of immigration judges, and raising the merit for Asylum this will increase deportation numbers.
Birth tourism is mostly wealthy people entering the country via VISA system, so you can better train application staff to spot fraud within the system.
You can also make VISA application harder to obtain for countries with high risk of overstaying.
so you rather build more and more overcrowded immigration centers?
Two words.
Diplomatic Immunity
This is an example of diplomatic immunity that I always find somewhat entertaining:
UN diplomats in New York understand that because of diplomatic immunity, they cannot be charged or prosecuted for any crime in the United States.
So they park their cars wherever they want - bus stops, fire hydrants, tow-away zones, whatever. This pisses the city off - so every couple of years, the NYPD goes on a rampage, towing every illegally parked car with diplomatic plates they can find - which leads to minor international diplomatic incidents as all of the diplomats whine to the State department that their cars are impounded.
LOLâŚgood.
As with quite a bit, not everything encompassed by the Constitution is IN the Constitution. The Constitution must be considered in light of the common law as it existed in 1787 and law of nations and the law of war as it existed in 1787 and as it has since been modified by International Agreements and Treaties. Remember also that Treaties, as well as the Constitution itself, comprise the Supreme Law of the United States.
International law and the law of war limit the jurisdiction of the United States over lawful military members and prisoners of wars, as well as neutral internees.
Because the United States does not have full jurisdiction over lawful military members and prisoners of war, they fall outside the scope of the 14th Amendment, just as with diplomats.
American Constitution is a light read compared to others.
I think the Canadian Constitution is something like 95 pages long.
Try the Constitution of India at 146,385 words.
Or the Constitution of Alabama at 310,296 words and growing. 
Is the Constitution of Alabama just âwe are not Mississippiâ repeated indefinite?
The Constitution of Alabama was adopted in 1901 to cement white supremacy in Alabama forever. To do that, they set things up so that literally EVERY power is concentrated in the central government. It literally takes a constitutional amendment for a county or municipality to enact a sales tax or do any other thing.
The idea was that even if blacks got control of a city or municipality by weight of numbers, it would do them no good, as the central government could hold them down and did just that for many years and to a great extent still does.
The Constitution of Alabama simply needs to be flushed down the toilet and entirely replaced.
small government unless its the blacks.
sounds like Alabama.
I have opined in the past that the Constitution of Alabama could be disposed of in the Federal Courts by use of the âRepublican Form of Governmentâ clause.
The argument could be made that since it was drafted specifically to abridge the power of a specific portion of the population, that it is NOT republican in nature and should fall. A court could order a Constitutional Convention to be held to draft a new Constitution and could order that the final document contain ample provisions for home rule for counties and municipalities such as exist in the Constitutions of many States.
Only if you make is to it applies to non citizens.
The draft already applies to non-citizens.
Under current law yes.
If the law were changed however, to any person between the ages of 18 and 25 who resides within the borders of the united states is subject to the draft and must register under penalty of law.
Then Legal resident aliens, and illegal aliens would be subject to the draft.
This is already the law - almost word for word.
The only people exempt from Selective Service right now are non-citizens on current non-immigrant visas (students, tourists, H1-B workers, etc). Even for that category - if they overstay their visa by 30 days or more, they too are required to register.
By golly they ARE under our juristiction then arnât they
