The American Mind: The Case Against Birthright Citizenship
The hysteria surrounding President Trump's immigration policies, particularly regarding birthright citizenship, was fueled by various elite factions. The 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause, interpreted through the 1898 case United States v. Wong Kim Ark, is argued to misrepresent the framers' intentions, which aimed to avoid common law definitions of citizenship.
Senator Jacob Howard's remarks during the amendment's introduction suggest that not everyone born in the U.S. is automatically a citizen, particularly those not subject to U.S. jurisdiction. The debate highlighted that allegiance and jurisdiction were key factors in defining citizenship, intentionally excluding certain groups, such as Indians and foreign diplomats.
