The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

....until the Supreme Court rules that children born in the United States to two illegal aliens unlawfully present in the United States, are not "automatically" U.S. citizens.

The interesting thing is, if the court holds that the spawn of illegals, or any foreign national, born in the US is *not* automatically a citizen, granting citizenship to those people, in the past, was based on a flawed decision, thus invalid. So, if your grandparents were not citizens when your parents were born, then your parents are not citizens, so *you* are not a citizen, even if your parents, and you, were born in the US.

On or about September 22, 1922, the INS apparently stopped listing every member of a family on the Naturalization certificate for the head of the family. Each person needed their own certificate. So, a hypothetical O'Relliy young, married, couple, steps off the ship in NYC, in 1927, and starts the years long process of becoming citizens. In the interim, they squirt out two or three children. When the parents do become naturalized, they assume they don't need certificates for their spawn, because they were born here. A century later, the court waves it's magical wand, and takes that citizenship away. What a lovely mess that would be.
