Russians Flock to Trump Properties to Give Birth to U.S. Citizens

My thoughts? The daily beast is a joke, as full of $#@! as....well, you know.

Park is YOUR strawman. I told you that I didn't want to argue it yet again. Do not suggest that it was my idea. Nor did I suggest that it wasn't a supreme court case. Your question's answer, as you should already know, wasn't decided directly by the supreme court.

You disappoint me.

Birthright citizenship IS the law of the land. You can cry and erect strawmen all day. It won't change a thing. Nor will I waste time arguing the case law with you.

WHAT YOU THINK SHOULD BE THE LAW IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR WHAT ACTUALLY IS THE LAW.

You don't know what you are talking about. There is no reason for Americans to believe in the anchor baby myth. It is not settled US law, and ought to be rejected outright.

You are the one arguing with reality. Not me. It must be frustrating.

You've taken no more con law hours than I have.

Remember: what you THINK should be the law is never a substitute for what actually is the law.

You betcha! It's much better to talk about the size of "moochelle's" ass or whether or not Barry Soetoro visited a muslim bath house. FFS.

This is correct. How could anyone argue the contrary?

Because people are granted birthright citizenship all day everyday and have been for over a century.

It would be hard to be more settled law than that.

Your thoughts?

While Trump rails against U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants, his Florida properties have become a playground for birth tourists from Russia’s upper crust. The Daily Beast has discovered several companies are advertising rentals in Trump properties to expectant Russian parents. While the Trump Organization does not directly profit from subleases of privately owned condos, it does benefit from Russian patronage of the nearby Trump International Beach Resort. (The Trump Organization did not return requests comment.)
Many of the companies that cater to Russian birth tourists advertise their services openly and warn no one will get in trouble as long as they don’t lie on immigration paperwork.

Uh, yea? Why has Trump have anything to do with this? See, this is the type of crap that liberals here post as if it means anything. Then when told it means nothing get all bent out of shape.

The Clinton Foundation received 140 million dollars from Russia. Any thoughts?

Better read up on the Supreme Court. If you're born here you're a citizen. What the hell makes you a citizen?

Well, I just did.It was easy to do.

Birthright citizenship in the United States is acquired by virtue of the circumstances of birth. It contrasts with citizenship acquired in other ways, for example by naturalization. Birthright citizenship may be conferred by jus soli or jus sanguinis. Under United States law, U.S. citizenship is automatically granted to any person born within and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. This includes the territories of Puerto Rico, the Marianas (Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands), and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and also applies to children born elsewhere in the world to U.S. citizens (with certain exceptions)associated with right-wing populism, due to its application to the native-born offspring of illegal immigrants.


The policy stems from the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The 1868 text states, "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."
