Those who pretend the 14th Amendment was intended to make the children of foreign nationals citizens of the United States, especially children born of foreign nationals who have invaded our borders and still have an allegiance to a foreign power, is not only humorous, it is hysterically humorous. But if I am in error, I am sure those who promote such an absurdity will be quick to post the documented evidence from the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, 39th Congress to support their absurdity and that such was the intentions of the framers and ratifiers of the 14th Amendment.


Quote:
page 2893: Mr TRUMBULL “all persons born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens.” That means “subject to the complete jurisdiction thereof” Now, does the Senator from Wisconsin pretend to say that the Navajoe Indians are subject to the complete jurisdiction of the United States”? What do we mean by “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States?” Not owing allegiance to anybody else. That is what it means…………….It is only those persons who come completely within our jurisdiction, who are subject to our laws, that we think of making citizens: and there can be no objection to the proposition that such persons should be citizens.
and:

Quote:
Mr JOHNSON: Now, all that this amendment provides is, that all persons born in the United States and not subject to some foreign Power--for that, no doubt, is the meaning of the committee who have brought the matter before us--shall be considered as citizens of the United States……..I know of no better way to give rise to citizenship than the fact of birth within the territory of the United States, born of parents who at the time were subject to the authority of the United States.

Our domestic enemies in Congress are attempting to make those who have invaded our borders subject to the “jurisdiction” of the United States by the Amnesty bill, which would then make them citizens by the 14th Amendment! They, those in Congress supporting the amnesty bill are traitors and ought to be tarred and feathered and banished from America
