‘A bombshell’: White House drops stunning historic documentation supporting Trump birthright citizenship order

‘In the United States it would seem that the children of foreigners in transient residence are not citizens’

The White House has dropped a stunning document showing that historically, the experts over the years never have considered those born of foreign parents in the United States to be U.S. citizens.

It’s the exact position President Donald Trump took when he issued an executive order months ago stating that children of illegal aliens are not, in fact, U.S. citizens.

He was sued immediately over that statement.

His perspective, if affirmed by the courts, would decimate the birth tourism industry, where foreigners break into the United States and have children, who then are considered citizens and anchors for their foreigner parents.

In fact, the Constitution calls people U.S. citizens if they are born in the United States “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”

The current argument is over just exactly what constitutes being subject to the jurisdiction thereof.

A report at Revolver.news quotes from a filing from the White House in support of Trump’s order.

It quotes expert after expert after expert – all contemporaneous to the time the amendment was being considered, then adopted, and all of them offer explanations that those children of foreigners, of temporary residents or transient travelers passing through, are not U.S. citizens.

For example, Francis Wharton, in “A Treatise on the Conflict of Laws” from 1881, said, “Chinese born of Chinese non-naturalized parents, such parents not being here domiciled, are not citizens.”
