Harris is a U.S. citizen by birth. Despite the slanders, Kamala Harris is clearly a U.S. native born citizen. The law has been clear since 1 8 9 8 . Wikipedia says: United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 9 U.S. 649 in 1898, was a landmark decision of the US Supreme Court ruling that "a born in the United States, of parents of Chinese descent, , at the time of his birth, are subjects of the Emperor of China, but have a permanent domicil and residence in the United States, and are carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China",[ automatically became a U.S. citizen at birth. This decision established an important precedent in its interpretation of the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Wong Kim Ark, was born in San Francisco in 1873, had been denied re-entry the United States after a trip abroad, under a law restricting Chinese immigration and prohibiting immigrants from China from becoming naturalized U.S. citizens. He challenged the government refusal recognize his citizenship, and the Supreme Court ruled in his favor, holding that the citizenship language in the Fourteenth Amendment encompassed the circumstances of his birth and could not be limited in its effect by an act of Congress. The case highlighted disagreements over the precise meaning of one phrase in the Citizenship Clause—namely, the provision that a person born in the United States is subject the jurisdiction thereof acquires automatic citizenship. The Supreme Court majority concluded that this phrase referred to being required to obey U.S. law; on this basis, they interpreted the language of the Fourteenth Amendment in a way that granted U.S. citizenship to born of foreigners (a concept known as jus soli), with a limited set of exceptions mostly based in English common law. The court dissenters argued that being subject the jurisdiction of the United States meant not being subject any foreign power —that is, not being claimed as a citizen by another country via jus sanguinis (inheriting citizenship from a parent)—an interpretation which, in the minority view, would have excluded "the of foreigners, happening be born them while passing through the country. In the words of a 2007 legal analysis of events following the Wong Kim Ark decision, "The parameters of the jus soli principle, as stated by the court in Wong Kim Ark, have never been seriously questioned by the Supreme Court, and have been accepted as dogma by lower courts." A 2010 review of the history of the Citizenship Clause notes that the Wong Kim Ark decision held that the guarantee of birthright citizenship applies to of foreigners present on American soil" and states that the Supreme Court "has not re-examined this issue since the concept of illegal alien entered the language".[] Since the 1990s, however, controversy has arisen over the longstanding practice of granting automatic citizenship to U.S.-born of illegal immigrants, and legal scholars disagree over whether the Wong Kim Ark precedent applies when alien parents are in the country illegally. Attempts have been made from time time in Congress restrict birthright citizenship, either via statutory redefinition of the term jurisdiction, or by overriding both the Wong Kim Ark ruling and the Citizenship Clause itself through an amendment to the Constitution, but no such proposal has been enacted. |
