The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the Civil War was apparently fought so that illegal aliens and Chinese nationals who have set up birth tourism companies in the United States could have anchor babies.
The Supreme Court held that “Children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause.” Four of the justices agreed that the 14th Amendment does not confer automatic citizenship.
