Glenn Grothman_ 14th Amendment 'Does Not Say All Persons Born In The US Become Citizens Of The US'

Published | Video Starts at 00:48

Well, there's maybe something we can receive bipartisan support for when we move an immigration bill. Next thing I'd like to point out, and Mr. Moore's always handled this to a degree, I want to point out that In the 14th Amendment it does not say, oh, all persons born in the United States become citizens of the United States. It's all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof. That amendment was passed coming out of the Civil War. (00:48–00:57)

CLAIM

Asserts that the 14th Amendment does not automatically grant citizenship to all born in the U.S.
