Well, the Supreme Court ruled in the late 1890s, in what's called the Wong case, that it does apply to the children of permanent residents. And, well, Since 1890, I think it was 1898 or something similar to that, it has not yet been decided or adjudicated. Whether or not illegal immigrants or non American, non permanent resident, non US Passport, non green card holders and their children can get birthright citizenship. I think that we should join the rest of the world, including your country, and not give just full US Citizenship for people that come on birth tourism to the United States. (02:51–03:09)
