That is why Jefferson and others were against the Judicial having this much power.
That’s where i sit…I’ll call BS no matter what side of the fence it’s thrownI'm not a conservative nor am I a liberal. I poke fun whenever / wherever I see an opportunity. That being said, if I've offended anyone, I hereby sentence you to watch a ten hour Dave Chappelle marathon. If it doesn't loosen you up, maybe it'll kill ya!
Yea but the 5th amendment uses the verbiage person as well and that was ratified well before the 14th.Well, the 14th was ratified close to 100 years after our founding and largely in response to a civil war brought on, in large part, because a significant portion of our country didn't see people (brown people, then as now) within our borders as people. That fact is becoming more relevant now by the day. legally, they get due process. Morally, don't hurt the people who can't fight back. Religiously (I can only speak from the Christian side) we are called and COMMANDED to treat the foreigner with kindness and not mistreat them, and whatever we do to the least of us we do to Christ himself. People who make claims about loving the Constitution, loving the law, or being Christian would do well to remember all those things. Remember and embrace the principles of our law and our faith or stop with all the pretenses and own the fact that you know what you've been called to and what the law says, but you just don't care and won't do those things.
definitely remember this and a lot of people were not thrilled so to say nobody complained is a bit false. Agree wasn’t as media-sized, but i remember ACLU and the like blasting himPOTUS Obama deported +2.5 million illegal aliens without due process because they entered the country illegally, and no one questioned him.
In fact, some groups called him the deporter in chief.

I was born in Canada, raised in upstate NY. My mom came down to the US from Canada in the 1957. I lived in the US illegally until I was 16 years old. I didn't even know I wasn't a US citizen until my parents told me when I was 15. Talk about a mind ****. I was finally able to do it right decades later. Anyway, borders were more porous back then. I truly feel for this woman. I agree with you 100 %.This whole discussion is waaay over my head.
The only input I really have is if the person is claiming they are a citizen they should have a reasonable amount of time to prove it.
Similarly, if the person has requested Asylum or is going through the citizenship process they should have a reasonable amount of time to prove it.
Last example, Several years ago there was a young lady (21ish YO) in Colorado Springs who accidentally killed one of her children.
The fact that it was an accident was never in question but during the process it came out that her parents had brought her to America illegally when she was 2YO.
She grew up here, she had no idea she wasn't a citizen. She was educated entirely in the United States. She had married a Marine and had a kid. She had paid taxes in America and even voted in our elections.
They wanted her to take a plea deal but if she did she was going to be deported to a country she had no memory of and knew no one in and didn't even speak the language.
There needs to be a category for people like that who are here illegally with no criminal intent and through no fault of their own.

Amendment calls out persons born naturalized as citizens, and no law abridging privileges of citizens then reverts back to person with respect to LLP. Likely because of the 5th amendment.The 14th (Republican-led) was the last nail in the coffin of the "Democrat" Dred Scott Decision. It had nothing to do with illegal aliens.
The 14th offers no due process to non-citizens. That's why Obama deported so many without due process.
The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution effectively overturned the Dred Scott decision by granting citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, regardless of race. This directly contradicted the Dred Scott v. Sandford ruling of 1857, which had declared that people of African descent, whether enslaved or free, were not and could never be citizens of the United States.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
- Dred Scott Decision:
In 1857, the Supreme Court ruled in Dred Scott v. Sandford that people of African descent were not and could not be citizens of the United States. The court also stated that Congress had no power to prohibit slavery in the territories.
- 14th Amendment:
Ratified in 1868, the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause declared that "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". This clause explicitly overturned the Dred Scott decision by granting citizenship to all persons born in the United States, including those of African descent.- Overturning Dred Scott:
The 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause directly refuted the core holding of the Dred Scott decision, ensuring that people of African descent were recognized as citizens. This paved the way for greater equality and civil rights for African Americans.- Other Provisions of the 14th Amendment:
The 14th Amendment also includes the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause, which further protect the rights of all citizens against state action. While the Citizenship Clause directly addressed the Dred Scott decision, these other clauses have also played a crucial role in expanding and protecting civil rights in the United States, according to the National Constitution Center.![]()

14th Amendment
An article discussing the 14th Amendment extending full U.S. citizenship to those formerly enslaved and the expansion of its provisions to include other minorities.www.monticello.org
Again as per the info in my posts.Amendment calls out persons born naturalized as citizens, and no law abridging privileges of citizens then reverts back to person with respect to LLP. Likely because of the 5th amendment.
But the 14 does offer person due process, not just citizen.Again as per the info in my posts.
