The 14th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified on July 9, 1868, and granted citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States,” which included former slaves recently freed. In addition, it forbids states from denying any person "life, liberty or property, without due process of law" or to "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” By directly mentioning the role of the states, the 14th Amendment greatly expanded the protection of civil rights to all Americans and is cited in more litigation than any other amendment.
The amendment addresses citizenship rights and equal protection of the laws, and was proposed in response to issues related to former slaves following the American Civil War.

Don't worry about that ole amendment. In 1941, approximately 130k Japanese, German, and Italian Americans were forcibly sent to internment camps.

Holy crap dude!
If only the 14th stopped at "All persons born or naturalized in the United States"....Everyone might think it does, but it doesn't.
RIF.....Read the whole thing.....
Amendment XIV
Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

"........After the Revolution, States retained only those portions of common law that were applicable to their local circumstances. In England at the time, every person born, with few exceptions such as children born of mix-parentage (they acquired the condition of their father if he was a freeman, else child acquired their mother’s citizenship) or diplomats within the realm of the King was considered a natural born subject under the maxim every man owes natural allegiance to the King. This allegiance was a personnel allegiance owed to the King personally, and such personal allegiance was never owed to any individual under the American system of States.
This natural allegiance was perpetual and difficult to severe or alter (Once a English subject, always a English subject) and was found odious in this country (America went to war against this “natural allegiance” in 1812).
While all States could be said to have recognized birth within the State as a means of conferring State citizenship to all persons, it is important to realize these States also required of aliens who desired to become domiciled within their limits to first renounce any allegiances to other governments and pledge their allegiance solely to the State. Therefore, a child born to domiciled parents was “born within the allegiance” of the State even if the parents had not yet been naturalized.........."

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Understand. But some lawyers say that the 'jurisdiction' is the united states.....some disagree. this amendment was originally created for the freed slaves. it's interesting to be 150 years out, since the amendment was written and seeing lawyers debate it's intent. we'll have to see how it plays out in the courts I guess.

Bobby Jindal “We need to end birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants,” Jindal likely forgot that he is a beneficiary of birthright citizenship, and could even be considered a so-called “anchor baby.” Amar and Raj Jindal, Jindal’s parents, moved to the United States in 1971 as legal immigrants after Raj received a scholarship to Louisiana State University. Though Raj was reportedly a permanent resident, Jindal was born in the United States four months after his parents arrived in the country. Jindal’s mother became a citizen in 1976 and his father was naturalized in 1986.
Marco Rubio “I’m not in favor of repealing the 14th Amendment, I am open to doing things that prevent people who deliberately come to the U.S. for purposes of taking advantage of the 14th amendment but I’m not in favor of repealing it.” Even as Rubio is pushing to remove people “deliberately” coming to the United States, his own heritage as the son of economic Cuban migrants could make him double back on his statement. Rubio, like Jindal, is actually a beneficiary of birthright citizenship. Rubio’s parents were not permanent legal residents in the U.S. at the time of his birth in 1971. And neither one of his parents became citizens until four years after he was born, the National Journal noted.
Rick Santorum “Only children born on American soil where at least one parent is a citizen or resident aliens is automatically a U.S. citizen,” Even as Santorum opposes birthright citizenship, his own muddled immigrant history may have barred his family from admission into the United States by today’s standards.

The Donald says if Pope Francis denounces capitalism while in the United States he'll "scare" him by telling him ISIS want to take over the Vatican.
Trump said he would use Islamic State extremists to scare the pope if he slammed capitalism on his upcoming visit to the U.S.

If you want to understand what is happening in the country right now.....it is the frustrations and the demands for change from the electorate. Everyone can see that there is a clear message of disgust for the political system with it's lies, corruption and failure. don't know if he'd be a good pres or not.....not enough info yet to form an opinion.....but everyone does know that he is shaking up the media and the status quo corrupt political system. he makes folks think 'differently'......'out of the box' so to say. too early in the game....got 1 1/2 years to go......a lot can and most likely will happen before election day.

'Jurisdiction' has nothing to do with geographic location but with national affiliation. The intent of Section 1 is well documented and in very plain English.
"The 14th amendment will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the government of the United States, but will include every other class of person." ---- Jacob M. Howard (R-MI)
"Approval ratings go up and down for various reasons... An example is the high post 911 support for GWB even though he could be said to be responsible for the event." --- Box A Rox '9/11 Truther'

again.....my point is that some lawyers agree on it's intent.....and some don't. they'll have to play it out in court.

Muslims have been called to flock to the 'Islamic State' to gather for a battle against non-believers throughout the world
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed leader of the 'Islamic State' stretching across Iraq and Syria, has vowed to lead the conquest of Rome as he called on Muslims to immigrate to his new land to fight under its banner around the globe.
Have a nice day!

Nope!
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4: Congress shall have the power...
To establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States;
Congress sets the rules and limitations on immigration, not anybody else. Not the USSC, not the POTUS or any other part of government.
It's been done too. When the 14th was passed, Native Americans (Indians) were not included because, at the time, Congress felt as if the Indians had an allegiance to their national tribes. They were not US citizens. Congress revisited this in the 1920's and reversed their decision. They decided that under the 14th and using their power under Article 1 that Indians be granted citizenship and *Poof* all of them became US citizens.
No signature needed by the President....No court ruling.
