RegisteredAndEducated Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 I think the constitution does say that people born here are citizens... and does not specify that they have to have citizen parents... I'll bet hugo could elaborate for us. Quote Intelligent people think... how ignorance must be bliss.... idiots have it so easy, it's not fair... to have to think...

ImWithStupid Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 I think the constitution does say that people born here are citizens... and does not specify that they have to have citizen parents... I'll bet hugo could elaborate for us. I think it's a good idea too, but the 14th Amendment states that... All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States Even if the 14th Amendment is one of the "reconstruction amendments" and is often argued to be questionable as to it's validity as it was ratified under the occupation and threat of the U.S. military occupation of states that were forced to vote for it's ratification and without the military threat probably wouldn't have been ratified, it is still a Constitutional Amendment until appealed by Amendment.
