The 14th Amendment's

We had the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, the post-Civil War constitutional amendments, the 13th Amendment outlawed slavery, the 14th Amendment provide equal protection and due process to the freed slaves, the 15th Amendment provide voting rights to the freed male slaves, that was extended to

black women with the 19th Amendment, all women, but including the black women with the 19th Amendment.

As part of the 14th Amendment, we had the Dred Scott decision after the Civil War.

And it was an abomination of a Supreme Court decision that said that the freed slaves do not get American citizenship.

And so part of the 14th Amendment included the birthright citizenship provision that all persons born,

In the United States, number one, you have to be born here.

And number two, you have to be subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

You have to have allegiance, full allegiance to the United States.

And so, as I was saying, American Indians did not have birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment.

Congress had to provide it to them by statute.

So you have to ask this dispositive question to these textualists and originalists on the Supreme Court.

If American Indians...

did not have birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment, how the hell would illegal aliens?

And then you have to ask this further question.

Do you think we fought a civil war to give birthright citizenship to 1.5 million Chinese birth tourists?

Do we think that we should have over a million Chinese nationals who have American citizenship and live in China and mail in their ballots?

from China into American elections and take Social Security and other welfare benefits back in Beijing.

I don't think that's what the proponents of the 14th Amendment were trying to accomplish, and I don't think that's what the public understood what the 14th Amendment was trying to accomplish.

I think that these Supreme Court justices should think long and hard about this decision because if they actually give birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment to 1.5 Chinese nationals living in Beijing, they are going to destroy, and I mean destroy, the legitimacy of the Supreme Court.
