Birthright Citizenship

Apart from the TVPRA, a longstanding court injunction in Perez-Funez v. District Director, 619 F. Supp. 656 (C.D. Cal. 1985), grants another layer of protection to unaccompanied immigrant children. The Perez-Funez litigation alleged that then-INS had a policy and practice of coercing children into accepting voluntary departure from the United States, thereby waiving their rights to a hearing and an opportunity to apply for relief. After trial, the court held that the government’s existing voluntary departure procedures violated the children’s due process rights, and interposed critical safeguards designed to minimize the risk of coercion. Id. at 669-70.

Who Killed the Constitution is an informative book that explains how different legislature has destroyed the Constitution. The authors, Thomas E. Woods, Jr., and Kevin R.C. Gutzman, explain how every single piece of legislation that has become a law infracts the rights directly given to the people by the Constitution. Thomas E. Woods, Jr., has his own political analysis show, and he has written twelve books that criticize and ridicule the United States government (Woods, par. 2). Kevin R.C. Gutzman is a professor of history at Western Connecticut State University, and he has written four books collectively (Gutzman, par.

During the earliest years of the United States when the US Constitution was written, the Founding Fathers addressed the Native Americans living on the land the earliest in Article 1, Section 8. “Congress shall have power to regulate Commerce with foreign nations...and with the Indian tribes.” (U.S. Const. Art. I, Sect. 8.)

Other laws and treaties in the nineteenth century offered Indians the right to become an American citizen if they left the tribal setting and become a part of American society. But tribal identity was the one thing nearly every Indian wished to maintain, and very few took advantage of these offers. Thus, few Indians were recognized as American citizens. After WWI congress made all Native Americans US

The Civil War and the Birthright Citizenship in the American System: The Civil War began as a war to preserve or divide the Union. At its end four years later slavery was abolished and citizenship and voting rights were redefined. Abraham Lincoln 's Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, the flight of slaves behind Union Army lines, and the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in December 1865 abolished slavery forever.

The American people of today have had it instilled into their minds that they possess certain unalienable rights. Citizens are educated that they have an ability to express their thoughts regarding the world around them, whether or not these thoughts adhere to the beliefs of others, and they are able to attempt and play a part in repairing and amending any aspect of their nation they may consider problematic. Every person within the United States, whether they are native or foreign, is encouraged to take advantage of their rights and abilities in an attempt to better their society. Yet, in 1798, the Alien and Sedition Acts emerged, and were encouraged largely by the Federalist Party in an attempt to squander the desires of people who opposed

The 14th amendment is split into five sections. Section one is the most important of them all and it states, “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. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” (The Constitution 2014). However it was put to test in the south early on.

Our Constitution, written by James Madison, has been a solid piece of American history since 1787. The founding fathers had created the Constitution to establish the fundamental principles of our country. 229 years later, after many presidents, senators, representatives and notorious events, very little has changed. Thomas Jefferson wrote, “...no society can make a perpetual constitution... If it be enforced longer, it is an act of force and not of right” (7).

The most debated topic of birthright citizenship surfaced as soon as the United States started facing the high volume of illegal immigrants. People from all across the globe intended to be part of the Columbus’ discovery. The 14th amendment of 1866 made the topic broader, deeper and more complex. It cannot be denied the fact that the United States has faced the high

Prior to the American Civil War, the legal definition of the Negro was, according to Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney, “ an ordinary article of merchandise and traffic.” Negros were not considered citizens or even human beings, only property that could be bought and sold. Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney was most likely influenced by Chief Justice John Marshall, who in 1833, ruled that the Bill of Rights only applied to the national government, meaning that states were allowed to keep African Americans from becoming state citizens. As a result, it was only logical to conclude that because African Americans are not citizens, then they are not protected by the Bill of Rights. However, the Fourteenth Amendment passed in June 1866, gave full rights of citizenship to all people born or naturalized in the United States, including African Americans.

The United States government should not allow immigrants in the the U.S. because they are causing negative effects. They cause americans to compete for jobs, immigrants to expect favors, and Americans to not work hard for their

Citizenship is something that allows you to obtain certain documentation that tells others what country you reside or are active in and attain freedoms that others may not have. When you are a citizen, you have the ability to vote and be a part of the community within it. One becomes a citizen through blood, birthright, religion, or naturalization. While in theory, citizenship sounds straightforward, there are issues with what it means to be a citizen and who can be considered one. Looking at citizenship, we should look at how it has progressed and who was affected by the progression.
