Booted off of PARLER. Trying to re-establish my connections. I am on Telegram, but looking for the right place to land.
The intent of A XIV was to naturalize all former slaves born in the US. It was never an offer of birthright citizenship for tourists or illegal alien. This is very, very clearly stated in the congressional record of the debates held prior to passing it.
The key passage is ",and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,". Tourists are subject to some US laws about behavior but not about citizenship. The best example would be "is an illegal alien required to register for Selective Service on their 18th birthday."?
And of course it was twisted for more Democrat voters. What is new.
