Ariz. Lawmaker Takes Aim at Automatic Citizenship

Arizona is taking another step in the right direction and is now looking to keep children of illegal immigrants from being granted automatic citizenship. Many argue this practice is constitutional because of the 14th Amendment which gives citizenship to any born in the United States. However that Amendment was originally only intended for the children of freed black slaves who were not citizens. The law is outdated and clearly needs to be re-examined.

    The fact that an illegal immigrant can easily come to our country and have children who are automatically given citizenship simply by virtue of being here, devalues citizenship for all real Americans. I applaud Arizona in taking the lead in doing something about these illegal immigrants. If nothing else, their actions are flushing the radical element and traitors in Washington out into the open where our people can easily see what is really running this country, and the reason we must forge a sense of racial solidarity if we are to have any meaningful resistance against their obvious agenda of destroying the political, economic, and social influence of white people in this nation.

    The problem is not in the 14th Amendment, but in how it has been misinterpreted and mis-applied. Any changes to the definition of US citizenship can be done without another amendment. The 14th Amendment is defined by the US Codes 8 USC1401, etc.

    Also, you need to revise state birth certificate laws, to require more information from the mother and father (place of birth, nationality, and immigration status).

    14th Amendment: "1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States…"

    Under the 14th Amendment, if the mother and father are not US citizens, then the baby, is not a US citizen, even if the birth occurred in the USA. True, the 14th Amendment, says if a person is born in the USA they can be a US citizen, however the birth must also meet the *jurisdiction* requirements of the 14th Amendment.

    Jurisdiction I
    A child born in one of the states united under the US Constitution, is subject to the territorial state laws of the state (locum, jus solis) and the USA (locum, jus solis), but also under the joint jurisdiction of his mother's (personam, jus sanguinis) nationality and his father's (personam, jus sanguinis) nationality.
    1. If one parent has US nationality, then the child is a dual citizen, but still a citizen.
    2. If both parents have US nationality, then the child is a natural born US citizen, meeting Article 2.
    3. If neither parent has US nationality, then the child is the nationality of the parents.

    Jurisdiction II
    A child not born in one of the states united under the US Constitution, is subject to the territorial laws of the state (locum, jus solis), but may not be under jurisdiction of the USA (locum, jus solis). If one or both parents are US citizens, US laws will apply. The joint jurisdiction of the mother's (personam, jus sanguinis) nationality and the father's (personam, jus sanguinis) nationality, will affect the determination of the child's nationality.
    1. If one parent has US nationality, then the child is a dual citizen, but still a citizen, under US Codes in effect.
    2. If both parents have US nationality, then the child is a natural born US citizen.
    3. If neither parent has US nationality, then the child is the nationality of the parents.

    I personally will never acknowledge foreigners born to illegal aliens in the US as Americans. But the electoral danger in the numbers is real nevertheless.
