Dingdongs attempting to argue that illegal immigrants don't fall under US jurisdiction?

Seriously sit and think about that one for a second.

The meaning of "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is a real question that courts have not addressed.

The 14th amendment was written to ensure slaves born in the U.S. would be citizens, and the language "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" was derived from the Civil Rights Act, which provided that “[a]ll persons born in the United States, and not subject to any foreign power” would be considered citizens. If you look at the legislative history, you'll see that “subject to the jurisdiction” of the U.S. included not owing allegiance to any other country.

It seems to be that a parents citizenship, or whether they are in the country illegally should not have any bearing on a child born here, but I can see arguments to the contrary.

Could that be that it is essential to American's not dying in the thousands in abject poverty but the republican's and democrats aren't prepared to do anything to save it?

A better way to state it is politicians are more concerned with keeping their seats than messing with social security, so they kick the can down the road.

Even worse, they keep expanding SS (most recently with the SS Fairness Act). Basically some older federal workers received huge pensions, under the premise that their SS benefit would be reduced. These workers understood this, and were happy to take the pension. As a former federal employee, these older employees would often tell us under the newer FERS system how much we were getting shafted (and FERS is still a great retirement program), yet I would have been ecstatic to be on the older program with less SS.

Too high of benefits have been paid to former generations compared to the amounts put in to support the program, leaving the current generation holding the bag. The solution will ultimately being the current or near future working class paying even more into the system, as reserves needed for retirees to receice their full benefit are projected to be depleted within 10 years. So basically all of us are going to need to be taxed even higher for a likely lesser future benefit based on the mismanagement of our prior generations.

So you just decided that there are prisoners with no end date and that trump isn't allowed to air Bidens dirty laundry?

Ya, I was being sarcastic. Bottom line is there were a bunch of people that did nothing more than enter the building and were in jail for four years, pathetic. I should’ve been more clear.

Well I just decided that trump was responsible for the JFK assassination. Don't you think trump should be held accountable for murdering John F Kennedy?

Anything is possible, sure.

There it is. I knew you’d eventually admit it.

So you have no sources and you’re just blowing stuff out your *** to generate angry reactions from posters. There’s a term for this but I just can’t put my finger on it… Hmm. Can someone help me out?

I’m no longer brainwashed, so no I don’t have sources, and neither should anyone. I finally understand that news is no longer news. I watch to see what’s going on in the world but I don’t pay attention to what some news caster is selling because everyone has an agenda we all know right from wrong. All I know is everything that’s happened the last four years has felt wrong, up to the preemptive pardon that Biden signed off on minutes before he left office, up to woke culture ruining the fabric of morality in this country. I don’t need sources to see all that.

Question for you: Where were the 2014 Winter Olympics and can you locate that place on a map?

Sochi winter Olympics. City in Russia on the Black Sea Border. The Black Sea is so very narrowly connected to the mediterranean that ships usually don't bother to pass through it. Use your brain. Ukraine's border is prime for any trade or future annexing or invasions Russia can plan.. The surrounding countries are mainly hopeless in a war against Russia.
 
“I’m going to do the most obviously nazi salute ever during the inauguration. Watch, I bet I get away with it and people still run interference and make excuses for it”

They are just seeing how much they can get away with and how fast, it’s working great so far.

Feel free to post accompanying videos of those Obama, Kamala, etc. ‘salutes’ I’m sure it won’t utterly destroy your argument. Everyone saw what Musk very clearly did.
Calling others idiots who are simply using their eyes to see the obvious is hilarious.


The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
