One more time. The section of the 14th Amendment dealing with this is the first section. (There are five). The author of the first section was Senator Jacob Howard of Michigan. Here are his exact words regarding birth citizenship for i******s and the intent of the Amendment in that respect, in a public statement.

He said the language “is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already,” explaining that “This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, [or] who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers.”
The "law of the land" he was referring to was the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which specifically excluded aliens from birth citizenship.

Any child of i******s or temporary residents given birth citizenship in this country received it in direct contradiction to the stated intent of the authors of the Amendment in the 39th Congress.

EmilyD the 14th Admendement DID NOT say anything about anchor babies. It was passed July 9th, 1868 making freed s***es American citizens.

The socialists Demon-Rats twisted it around to make it look like illegal criminal aliens born in America were automatically America citizens. THAT IS NOT TRUE.

A child when born becomes a citizen of wherever it's parents are citizens of. In this case Mexicans.

What brain dead h**eful thinking, I was listening to the lying Trumpet blaming Democrats for this separation of children when Sessions was on live broadcast stating how he implemented this zero tolerance rule, which is the exact rule that has caused this condition.

All Democrats do not support i******s, that's an inflated lie, they do support anchor babies who were born here. According to how we have things set up presently, you are a citizen simply being born here. That's what needs to be changed.

As tragic reports of Donald Trump's barbaric family separation policy get traction in the media, Republicans are trying to figure out how they can feign hints of sympathy without actually fixing the problem. In that vein, they are entirely lying about a 1997 settlement in a case called Flores, which set forth minimum standards for detaining unaccompanied minors.
Just to be crystal clear about this: No other administration has interpreted the Flores settlement to mean that kids of parents seeking asylum in the United States must be separated from them. That is absolutely the new and twisted logic of the Trump administration alone. In fact, what they are doing is prosecuting these parents for crossing the border before their asylum claims can be processed.
Nonetheless, House Speaker Paul Ryan lied about Flores Thursday when asked about Trump’s family separation policy.
"This is because of a court ruling and so this, I do think ought to be addressed—we believe it should be addressed in immigration legislation."
Ryan invoked that court ruling at least three times during a press conference with reporters. He's wrong and he's lying—there’s no two ways about it. Read the synopsis—it specifically pertains to "unaccompanied minors," which these children are not. That is, until the Trump administration sends their parents to federal jail to await prosecution, at which point officials separate their children from them and then re-label those kids "unaccompanied."
"We don't want kids to be separated from their parents," Ryan added.
Then quit lying, Mr. Speaker, because you are flat-out hiding behind a lie to justify this draconian policy. Same with Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, a supposed legal expert as chair of the Judiciary Committee.

Not only are Republicans lying, they’re setting up a scenario where if they by some miracle pass a broader immigration bill that includes a “fix,” they can blame Democrats in the Senate for blocking it. Remember, any GOP immigration bill that can pass the House on Republican v**es alone will necessarily be so extreme, it will have almost zero chance of passing the Senate. Bottom line, if Republicans really wanted to stop these horrific separations, they would tell Trump and Sessions to quit executing this indefensibly inhumane policy.
