At #SCOTUS oral arguments, John #Sauer said about #birthright citizenship, "creating a whole generation of American citizens abroad with no meaningful ties to the United States."
That's not so. U.S. citizens are taxed on income earned anywhere in the world, regardless of where they live. That's a meaningful tie.
At #SCOTUS oral arguments, John #Sauer said about #birthright citizenship for the children of tourists, "The -- the -- the -- the media reports indicate estimates could be over one -- a million or 1.5 million from the People's Republic of China alone."
If that's true--and Sauer didn't assert whehter that was total or per year--that's additional million U.S. taxpayers. What's bad about that?
At #SCOTUS oral arguments, Cecillia #Wang said about #birthright citizenship, "If I'm a French national in the United States, France cannot come into the United States, arrest me, and try me for a crime under French law. And that's what sets ordinary foreign nationals apart from ambassadors --"
What about going to #Venezuela, arresting #Maduro, and trying him for a crime under U.S. law?
That would make Maduro "subject to the jurisdiction thereof," and a U.S. citizen.
