Yet, the Court ruled in 1925, based on uncontested precedent, that those
living here unlawfully don't even satisfy the meaning and intent of
"dwelling in the United States"-- even in a case where they were granted
temporary permission to live here on humanitarian grounds. It is therefore
simply preposterous to assert that those who willfully violate our laws
and sneak into the country without permission can secure jurisdiction
for their children against the consent of the nation. As the Left would
say, it's "settled law" that illegal immigrants are considered "at the
boundary line and have gained no legal foothold in the United States",
irrespective of where they reside now.

Can't you imagine unintended consequences? If one of my ancestors
entered illegally (or there's no paperwork proving a legal entry any
longer), you've just rescinded my American citizenship and I'm on my way
back to Russia or Poland, I'm not sure which.

Glad your ancestors came over on the Mayflower. Mine didn't.

Mine immigrated legally from Germany through Ellis Island and we still have
the documentation that proves it.

BTR1701 is not undocumented!

My mother's father, after crossing all of Europe at age 11 with his 8
year old brother and making his way into England then landed at Montreal,
then made his way to Chicago. I'm too old to learn to speak Canadian.
