Note: The Department Of Homeland Security is not listed here because it is often considered a dubious source by researchers (often slanting facts in favor of Presidential policy–much of the reporting on unlawful immigration is often extremely underreported as a matter of DHS policy but when no other source is apparent, researchers will reluctantly quote DHS, given no other choice).

House Judiciary (Immigration)

Unconstitutional Ruling By U.S. Supreme Court (14th Amendment Blatantly Misinterpreted)
Afroyim v. Rusk, 387 U.S. 253 (1967)

In 1866, Senator Jacob Howard spelled out the intent of the 14th Amendment by writing:
“Every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country.”

The phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” was intended to exclude American-born persons from automatic citizenship whose allegiance to the United States was not complete. With illegal aliens who are unlawfully in the United States, their native country has a claim of allegiance on the child. Thus, the completeness of their allegiance to the United States is impaired, which therefore precludes automatic citizenship. It is clear the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment had no intention of freely giving away American citizenship to just anyone simply because they may have been born on American soil, something our courts have wrongfully assumed. –Illegal Immigration Counters (http://immigrationcounters.com/datasource.html)
