You have people entering the country illegally, not here legally, illegally, having children who get US citizenship.

It is not only an issue for a magnet that creates an open border problem, because it draws people here, because then they're entitled to the full portfolio of citizenship benefits.

It is also a national security issue as well, the second part.

Because foreign enemies of the United States know this.

They can fly people in, have a child here, and all of a sudden, people who are not our friends have a citizen in their family.

This is common sense.

Liberals want to tell you, oh, this has already been litigated.

You're born here, you're automatically a citizen.

Well, that is the case now, but this has not fully been litigated.

Wall Street Journal has a great piece about this.

There is one line that this all comes down to.

This is Randy Barnett, Trump is right on birthright citizenship.

They note that the clause grants citizenship to persons who meet two conditions.

Birth in the US and being subject to the jurisdiction of the US.

The dispute is over the meaning of the latter term.

Talking about the 14th Amendment.

Subject to the jurisdiction thereof, folks, has never been fully litigated.

This is not an overly wonky topic.

There are two potential meanings to this in the legal space.

Do they mean people born here who are subject to the political jurisdiction of the United States?
