The forgotten economically anxious about eggies and milk man will really benefit from Trump pardoning his 1,500 brown shirts from committing crimes. Just look at how some are reacting.

This definitely won’t embolden white nationalists, nazis, and his other followers to commit more violence… right?

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.

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.
