UNAPOLOGETICALLY AMERICAN

The roots of birthright citizenship in the United States can be traced back to the colonial period, where ideas of citizenship and belonging were heavily influenced by European legal traditions and concepts of natural rights. Initially, citizenship was predominantly reserved for free white males, which reflected broader societal structures based on race, class, and gender. This exclusivity is essential to understanding how and why birthright citizenship evolved into a more inclusive doctrine.

During the colonial era, birthright citizenship was informally understood. English common law, which formed many early American laws, acknowledged that children born to English subjects were themselves subjects. With the establishment of the United States and the Revolutionary War, notions of citizenship began to shift. Early state constitutions and laws varied in their treatment of citizenship and delineated the rights associated with being a citizen. The framing of the Constitution in 1787 laid the groundwork for the legal understanding of citizenship, but it largely remained ambiguous regarding birthright citizenship.

The debate over who qualifies as a citizen gained traction in the early 19th century amid increased immigration and territorial expansion. The annexation of territories such as Louisiana and Mexico brought millions of new inhabitants into the fold of the United States, raising questions about their citizenship status. During this period, the legal definition of citizenship was primarily concerned with the rights of white males while systematically excluding enslaved people, free blacks, and Native Americans.
Our Constitution was systematically RACIST, by today’s standards, but… we must always judge history by the morals and common beliefs of those times!

The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868 as part of the Reconstruction Amendments following the Civil War, fundamentally changed the landscape of birthright citizenship. Section 1 states, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” This landmark provision was a direct response to the injustices faced by formerly enslaved individuals and sought to ensure equal protection under the law. It WAS intended to be a temporary Amendment to resolve the pre-existing inequities under which the African slaves had suffered!
“Fourteenth Amendment
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.

Section 2

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

Section 3

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Section 4

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Section 5

The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

As the nation entered the late 19th and early 20th centuries, birthright citizenship became more established but also faced challenges. Various Supreme Court rulings would further define and interpret the scope and limitations of this right, impacting immigrant populations and the diverse landscape of American society. The growing number of immigrants from Europe and the shifting demographics of the nation meant that birthright citizenship became a focal point in the larger conversation about American identity and values.

As illegal aliens streamed into our Republic under liberal government administrations, it created an entirely new confusion across the nation. We do not support illegal actions without consequences. Entering the USA without proper authorization is – at the minimum – TRESPASSING.
We also have a legal concept known as FRUIT OF THE POISONOUS TREE . This concept establishes that things derived from an illegal act of evidence by law enforcement agencies… I believe it should also be applied to births by illegals in the USA. THEY are breaking the immigration laws by being here, their offspring should also be considered illegal, not available for citizenship under the 14^th Amendent!!

The Democrat party has been substantially overtaken by the Democrat Socialists.
Our Communist Democrats, in the House and Senate, will not allow this to happen, in order to maintain/increase their power in Congress.
