We The Birthright People

It’s never been the law of the land that being born here is enough for citizenship, and lawmakers have made that very clear over the centuries. 

Lawyers will tell you that the United States was founded on jus soli (right of the soil), with citizenship derived based on birth within U.S. borders, not bloodlines, because America’s common law is Britain’s common law...

While the Founders recognized British common law as the baseline for American law, we have long amended, augmented it, and rejected it, replacing it with federal laws and those of our state legislatures - including recognizing that jus soli cannot apply to everyone...

The authors of the 14th Amendment’s birthright citizenship clause spoke regularly on the topic of citizenship before and after its ratification. Their statements and defenses clarify what they thought their words meant.

The Hon. John A. Bingham, the author of the 14th Amendment’s citizenship clause and its sponsor in the House, made numerous references in Congress to the definition of natural born citizenship. In 1862, he emphasized allegiance to America...

And four years after the 14th Amendment was ratified, he still rejected blanket birthright citizenship...

Regrettably, many of our judges and elected leaders have perverted the meaning of 'Jurisdiction' to mean the geographical jurisdiction of the United States... We, the people, must correct this misunderstanding...

Proposed 30th Amendment:

"All persons born in the United States of one citizen parent are naturalized citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No person who has been or yet to be born in the United States to foreign, alien or non-citizen parents is born a citizen of the United States."
