USA birthright citizens arguments by the Supreme Court of the USA.

Liberals appear to argue in favor of birthright citizenship while Conservatives signal opposition. Highlights from today's oral arguments #DC {"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/t1e\/2\/16\/1f7e5.png"}Justice John Roberts on birthright citizenship "What does that mean, subject to the jurisdiction thereof? And he says, it means not owing allegiance to ANYBODY ELSE. That is what it means." Illegal aliens owe allegiance to their country of birth, not America. {"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/t1e\/2\/16\/1f7e5.png"}SCOTUS Justice John Roberts is VERY skeptical of President Trump ending birthright citizenship, repeatedly firing back at Trump's top lawyer This would mean we require Amy Coney Barrett for a shot at 5-4. SAUER: China has 500 birth tourism companies to bring people here to give birth and return to our nation! ROBERTS: That has no impact on the legal analysis...it's a new world, it's the same Constitution. SAUER: It is, and as Justice Scalia says, you have a constitutional provision should extend to reasonably comparably evils. What a disappointment. Roberts is acting like he doesn't know or doesn't CARE the ramifications of this! {"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/t1e\/2\/16\/1f7e5.png"}SCOTUS Justice Samuel Alito says it PERFECTLY on birthright citizenship He suggests that just because illegal aliens were not a problem at the time the 14th Amendment was adopted does NOT mean they shouldn't be addressed today ALITO: "Justice Scalia had an example that dealt with this situation. He imagined an old theft statute that was enacted well before anybody conceived of a microwave oven, and then afterwards someone is charged with the crime of stealing a microwave oven, and this fellow says, well, I can't be convicted under this because the microwave oven didn't exist at that time." "And he dismissed that. There's a general rule there, and you apply it to future applications. And what we're dealing with here is something that was basically unknown at the time when the 14th Amendment was adopted, which is illegal immigration. So how do we deal with that situation when we have a general rule?" JOHN SAUER: "Yeah, I strongly agree with the way that you framed it, that there is a general principle that's a broad principle that's adopted in the phrase, subject to the jurisdiction thereof, and we submit that our theory of allegiance and domicile-based allegiance is what explains those specific exceptions that everybody was aware of, but it is broad enough to sweep in future situations, and as you pointed out, illegal immigration did not exist then." {"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/t1e\/2\/16\/1f7e5.png"}SCOTUS Justice Ketanji Jackson argues for illegal aliens having birthright citizenship by saying if she steals somebody's wallet in Japan, she has "allegiance" to that country She has to freaking go. This is absurd. Actually. "I was thinking, you know, I'm a U.S. citizen, am visiting Japan. And what it means is that, you know, if I steal someone's wallet in Japan, the Japanese authorities can arrest me and prosecute me. It's allegiance, meaning can they control you as a matter of law?" "So there's this relationship based on—even though I'm a temporary traveler, I'm just on vacation in Japan, I'm still locally owing allegiance in that sense. Is that the right way to think about it?" "And if so, doesn't that explain why both temporary residents and undocumented people would have that kind of, quote-unquote, allegiance, just by virtue of being in the United States?" {"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/t1e\/2\/16\/1f7e5.png"}Justice Sam Alito just sounded the alarm that unlimited birthright citizenship means a Chinese, Iranian or Russian foreigner can have a child in America, and that US citizen owes MILITARY ALLEGIANCE to a foreign adversary "They have the duty of military service. It seems that makes them subject to a FOREIGN POWER!" "Not subject to any foreign power is pretty straightforward. So let me give you these examples. A boy is born here to an Iranian father who has entered the country illegally." "That boy is automatically an Iranian national at birth and he has a duty to provide military service to the Iranian government, is he not subject to any foreign power?" "What I said about a boy born to an Iranian father is true of children born here to parents who were nationals of other countries. It's true to a child who's born here to Russian parents." #ChristinaAguayoNews KETANJI BROWN JACKSON: Your view of birthright citizenship turns on what the status of the parents is, not the child. Help us understand why we wouldn't see a mention of parents in the text of this Amendment. US SOLICITOR SAUER: I think it's well understood that newborns cannot form domiciles. SCOTUS Justice Amy Coney Barrett now appears skeptical of striking down birthright citizenship for illegals
