    Mr. Cowan: "I will ask whether it will not have the effect of naturalizing the children of Chinese and Gypsies born in this country?"
    Mr. Trumbull: "Undoubtedly."
    ...
    Mr. Trumbull: "I understand that under the naturalization laws the children who are born here of parents who have not been naturalized are citizens. This is the law, as I understand it, at the present time. Is not the child born in this country of German parents a citizen? I am afraid we have got very few citizens in some of the counties of good old Pennsylvania if the children born of German parents are not citizens."
    Mr. Cowan: "The honorable Senator assumes that which is not the fact. The children of German parents are citizens; but Germans are not Chinese; Germans are not Australians, nor Hottentots, nor anything of the kind. That is the fallacy of his argument."
    Mr. Trumbull: "If the Senator from Pennsylvania will show me in the law any distinction made between the children of German parents and the children of Asiatic parents, I may be able to appreciate the point which he makes; but the law makes no such distinction; and the child of an Asiatic is just as much of a citizen as the child of a European."

    Half of those who attended Trumps inauguration were Russians with visas and green cards. What the heck are all these people from shithole countries doing here in the first place, dog gonnit?

    Actually many of them paid up to $50,000 to get in. Evidently, Trump opened up shop to sell us out to Russian mobsters as soon as he took the oath of office. Kushner was seen backing up a Ryder Truck which was then loaded up with Russkie money.

    They are all busy down at the Mexican border bracing for the blitzkreig attack invented by Trump, Sean Hannity and Janine Pirro. Corporal Bone Spurs to the rescue. God help us all!,,

    Sure I mean if thousands of unknown people are entering the country every day that's not a real problem.

    We need to get back to making sure everyone in the country has free everything.

    Immigration is called "naturalization" in the constitution. The framers were not focused on immigration per se, like in visitors, but only in becoming citizens -- ala naturalized. The only thing they said was that Congress has the sole authority to determine laws of immigration.

    The portion of Arizona's law that said they could stop people with reasonable suspicion that they were illegal immigrants, and if they found that to be so, they could deport, was struck down, because the court ruled that the feds had sole authority and discretion there, and if the feds did not want Arizona to do what it was doing, it had to stop.

    Foreign diplomats are definitely not subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S.--they cannot be arrested by U.S. authorities.

    And to a citizen, making him a citizen regardless. He could have been born in Singapore by Melania, and still have been an American citizen, because his father was an American citizen.

    Oh look! Ron showed up to the party with his wild theories again!

    Let's make sure he gets back on track.

    Barron Trump was ALSO born to a CITIZEN of the United States.

    Are you aware of what that means?

    I'm guessing "no".

    Lol, Ron with the goal post shift!

    Are you claiming Barron Trump shouldn't be a citizen even WITH a parent that IS a citizen?

    Keep in mind...you made the post about Barron.

    born of parent citizens= natural born citizen.

    some argue that a natural born citizen can only be born of two citizen parents.

    context is irrelevent.

    Natural Born Citizen means to many, someone born of two citizen parents.

    That is contrary to a Naturalized Citizen.

    Okay, that wasn't my question. "Who" is stating what you're claiming?

    https://harvardlawreview.org/2015/03/on-the-meaning-of-natural-born-citizen/

    "No doubt informed by this longstanding tradition, just three years after the drafting of the Constitution, the First Congress established that children born abroad to U.S. citizens were U.S. citizens at birth, and explicitly recognized that such children were “natural born Citizens.” The Naturalization Act of 1790, provided that “the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens"

    Yeah, I am sure Trump is going with that plan. Do you think the Jewish community is going to give up Israeli citizenship?
