Most of President Donald Trump's new presidential orders have caused as many warnings as the citizenship of the right to live.

If both parents are not US citizens or legal permanent residents when they are born, the federal agencies prohibit issuing or accepting citizenship documents for children born in the United States.

Critics describe it as inconvenient, including the federal judge who received the wrong information of Seattle, who issued a temporary stop order last week. However, the new policy is straightforward to the 14th modification text and its original meaning.

“Essentially unconstitutional”: US judge temporarily blocks Trump's boring rights.

Following the ratification of the first century revision clause, few lawyers looked like Trump. Rather, they would have been more confused about the reason why the federal government began to issue a passport to the first illegal foreign, tourists, and the “temporary stay”. 。

Contrary to general beliefs, the correction of Article 14 does not say that all the people born in the United States are citizens. “Everyone is born or naturalized in the United States, and all the people who are subject to jurisdiction are citizens. Second, the critical conditional phrases are” universal “citizenship. It is conveniently ignored or accidentally interpreted by supporters.

This was to constitution to the protection of the Civil Rights Law in 1866. This stipulated that “not all people born in the United States are subject to foreign authority.”

Changes in the language did not reflect the parliamentary desires of abolishing the definitions of statutory or adopting universal growth rights. In fact, the Civil Rights Law is a more effective law for another 70 years, and the court and the lawyers, as well, assume that they are completely consistent with the citizenship clause.

This is because the 14th revised sponsor means paying political loyalty to the United States, not the other country. Children born from aliens are the citizens of the parents of their parents, and thus they have loyalty to their hometowns and are eligible for jurisdiction.

Legal history has indicated that Congress intended to eliminate the 14th correction and eliminate the permanent racial barriers to citizenship. Congressional did not intend to apply to the Professional Citizens to apply to the United States of the United States, a limited loyalty to the United States.

Even the modern supporters of the “universal growth rights citizenship” acknowledge that children born in the United States soil have been born in a native American, which belongs to diplomats and tribes. In fact, they and their children have only become citizens through the 1924 Indian Citizens Act. This was not needed if the correction of Article 14 adopted the universalized rights and civil rights rules for citizens' rights.

Critics on Trump's orders argue that universal growth citizenship is a “land resolved law”, but the Supreme Court has never dealt with this issue.

When the highest court in Japan first gave opinions about the meaning of citizenship clause in a famous slaughterhouse case in 1872, it was “excludes the ministers, consules, citizens, or children who are subject to jurisdiction. He said. A foreign state born in the United States. ”

In 1884, the court confirmed this understanding in Elk vs. Wilkins, and denied the right to live in the United States because he had immediately loyal to his tribes instead of the United States.

Most legal discussions on universal's biopetic citizens' rights have ignored these early incidents and pointed out the decisions in 1898. We and Won Kim Ark. However, the decision was simply determined that the legal permanent resident -born child was a US citizen.

Furthermore, the decision is about the constitutionality of the act of creating a class of legal permanent residents that have been permanently excluded from citizenship based on their race, just like blacks under Scott territory. 。

The current immigration and nationality law of our country no longer create this type of permanent racial barrier to citizenship. Today, the Federal Law (8USC §1401), which defines citizenship, repeats the language of Article 14, including the phrase “the subject of jurisdiction”.

Even the modern supporters of the “universal growth rights citizenship” acknowledge that children born in the United States soil have been born in a native American, which belongs to diplomats and tribes.

The language has the same meaning today as it is drafted and ratified. Just because the previous administration accidentally interprets it widespread, it does not evolve as much as something.

As a result, the President has the authority to instruct the federal government agency to act in accordance with the original meaning of Article 14, and has the authority to issue government documents and profits only to individuals with the US jurisdiction. 。

Trump's order is far from the constitution and the attempt to end the natural citizenship, and is a very long and long course correction that reverses decades that were not obliged in the first place in the first place.
