Birthright citizenship- Supreme Court Hearing
Meglamaniac replied to Caine Mutiny's topic in The Geek Club
Justice Barrett is getting at the point that if - as the administration argues - children of people who entered the US illegally are not "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States (which they have to be to qualify for birthright citizenship), then the same is true of the many thousands of slaves brought in illegally after the US banned the slave trade in 1808, and their children. Similarly, as she suggests, if - as the administration claims - children of people who lack exclusive "allegiance" to the United States don't qualify for birthright citizenship, then that must be true of the children of slaves brought in illegally. After all, these slaves likely felt little if any allegiance to the US authorities complicit in their enslavement, and under the administration's logic, they and their children also were not entitled to birthright citizenship. I would add this point applies even to slaves imported legally. They, too, might well have felt or "owed" allegiance to the rulers of their homelands, and certainly had no allegiance to the United States, the nation that held them in bondage. … SG Sauer's answer is just factually wrong. Under federal law, the presence of illegally imported slaves in the United States was not legal. As legal scholars Paul Finkelman and Gabriel Chin showed in their pathbreaking 2021 article on this subject, illegally imported slaves were subject to detention and deportation, much like illegal migrants today. Later in the same exchange, Sauer tries to get out of this hole by claiming that illegally imported slaves were "domiciled" in the United States. Justice Barrett seemed skeptical, and that skepticism is well-justified. As explained in my article, there is no meaningful sense in which illegally imported slaves were domiciled in the US that would not also apply to illegal migrants and their children. In sum, Justice Barrett hit on an important issue. And it should lead her and the other justices to rule against Trump for this reason alone, even aside from all the many other reasons why his position is wrong.>>> I guess all those other things going on weren't as important as sticking around and cutting and pasting -
it appears that it was part of the search and rescue for the other jet

This can't be true? He told me he usually posts from bars a Bourbon St while watching sports and talking with tourists. -

You're wrong, I'll leave it at that

But I thought you told @jerryskids to FOCK OFF when he implied you said we were losing this war. Make up your mind
-
No, that wasn't the goal, I've made that perfectly clear, the goal was to force ICE reforms, they got none, they shut down the gov for nothing
-
They refused funding without reform, it was the whole reason for the Dems shutdown, they got none, so they shut down the gov for no reason.
-
They can stop making the Dems look bad and stop doing the job TSA was supposed to do. The writing was on the wall as soon as ICE got lines back under control, it made the Dem shutdown look horrible.
