And Subject to the Jurisdiction Thereof

This hot button issue came to a head after President Trump issued an Executive Order ending Birthright Citizenship. In actuality Trump’s EO didn’t end anything, but stopped the practice of issuing birthright citizenship to children of illegal aliens who are born on the soil of the United States.

This Trump EO was temporarily blocked by a federal judge in Seattle after the AGs of several “blue” states, including the state of Colorado where I currently reside.

I’ve heard one outspoken AG state “You’re an American if you’re born here.” While that may be true of many illegal alien children, it’s not a true statement of those illegal alien migrants who come to the US from countries outside the continents of North, Central or South America. What is true is that none of them are United States citizens, unless they are born to a parent who is also a US citizen, which is most clearly prevalent with the children of US military personnel born overseas, such as former Senator John McCain who was born in the Panama Canal Zone where his military father was stationed at the time of his birth.

Amendment XIII (1865)

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Amendment XIV (1868)

Section 1. 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; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

President Trump’s administration is appealing the judicial block of this controversial EO all the way to the US Supreme Court where arguments will be made for and against this “unconstitutional” EO which does in fact sides with the letter of the law as written in the 14th Amendment of 1868.

If someone chooses to migrate to the United States it is advisable to do so in accordance to current immigration laws of the US, where that person is then “subject to the jurisdiction thereof”. – RTM

I am the Real Truckmaster: 1. I am a born-again Christian (a sinner saved by the grace of God). 2 I am a retired US Army Transportation Sergeant First Class (E-7), my last position of assignment was as the "Truckmaster" of the US Army Transportation Motor Pool in Yokohama Japan (1989-90). 3. I am an amateur military historian. 4. I am a Thailand Veteran of the Vietnam War. 5. I detest "Politics as Usual". 6. I'm pro-life (Abortion is murder) and there is no justification or excuse for it. 7. I believe that we must place the security and welfare of America First! Clarification of Real Truckmaster Blogs For those who follow my blog posts on RTM blogs let me clarify and clear up some confusion. I write highlighting the inconsistencies and hypocrisy of the far-left's war on anything Trump. There are too many willing to argue without merit and I would be remiss attempting to argue against their ignorance, they have way too much experience. My writings are my personal opinion intended to be educational in nature, a bit humorous, satirical, while being informative providing food for thought, which is sorely lacking today. For those who find my posts offensive, I am truly sorry, you have the right NOT to read them as have many before you. I will not attempt to change your mind politically, but provide the opportunity to show something you may wish to consider, thereby illuminating prejudice and misinformation! - I am the Real Truckmaster!
