"While opponents say King's bill would clearly be unconstitutional, backers say the 14th Amendment would not apply. The amendment states that anyone born in the United States and "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is a citizen. King said the amendment would not apply to the children of illegal immigrants because their parents should not be in the country anyway. He said immigration law should not create incentives for people to enter the country illegally and that it's creating an "anchor baby industry."
<http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/11/18/1931760/birthright-citizenship-will-be.html#ixzz15qDTNqDJ> Our very own puppet SB1070 sponsor (it was written by a guy in Kansas, promoted by the private prison lobby) , Russell Pearce has made the exact same arguments, and is too bone stupid to understand that supporting that point of view renders SB1070 moot; if someone is 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof', that means EXACTLY THAT. They're NOT subject to the jurisdiction, meaning you cannot arrest them. It's as if they're all ambassadors. We can declare them Persona Non Grata, and ask them politely, pretty please, to leave.
