Birthright Citizenship
You may have heard the term "birthright citizenship”
in connection with the debate over illegal immigration
that is going on. The term refers to babies born in the
United States to a mother who is not in the country le-
gally. Many officials believe that any child born in the
United States is automatically a citizen. This has cre-
ated an incentive for a number of women to come into
the United States to have their babies. The basis for con-
sidering these babies citizens is a part of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the US. Constitution that reads:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States,
and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of
the United States and the State wherein they reside.”
More and more people are challenging this interpre- .
tation of the Fourteenth Amendment. I have done a little
research and have found some interesting facts. This
amendment was passed after the Civil War to give citi-
zenship to former slaves. There were no laws limiting
immigration at the time. Therefore, when drafting the
Fourteenth Amendment, no consideration was given to
illegal immigrants, because there were none at that time.
There was discussion about the children of foreigners
visiting here, and diplomats. Senator Jacob Howard who
was instrumental in getting the Fourteenth Amendment
passed, in discussing this section said:
“This will not, of course, include persons born in the
United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to
the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accred-
ited to the Government of the United States, but will
include every other class of persons.” If the intent of
this provision was to include anyone born in the
United States, they could have just said that. There
would have been no reason to add the language "and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof” if that was the in-
tent.
Chairman of the House, Judiciary Committee (39th
Congress), James F. Wilson of Iowa, confirmed on March
1, 1866 that children under this class of aliens would
not be citizens stating:
"We must depend on the general law relating to sub—
jects and citizens recognized by all nations for a defini-
tion, and that must lead us to the conclusion that every
person born in the United States is a natural-born citi-
zen of such States, except that of children born on our
soil to temporary sojourners or representatives of for-
eign Governments.”
You might want to bring this issue to the attention of
the presidential candidates when you see them. Some
of them don’t seem to understand the issue.
