The Invasion of America continues

[Pressing-On]

The Supreme Court has never ruled on Illegal Aliens in this country. The only thing I could clearly see as making sense is the case in 1898, Wong Kim Ark. The court ruled that the children were legal citizens under the 14th Amendment because the parents were "legal" permanent resident citizens.

There is another case used that is talked about in the video. It was called the Slaughterhouse something or another...cant remember exactly but it was involving the "citizenship" of a native american man and the argument made was that the united states could not sue the man because he was a citizen of a Native American and thus under the tribes authority and allegiance. So since he could not be sued he was not under the judicial jurisdiction of the US and thus was NOT a citizen.

The Native American tribes had a complicated arrangement with the US government. Technically they are independent nations within the U.S. and they have their own laws in their tribal areas, they even have their own police force and even their own courts. However since they are still within the United Sates the laws of the US still apply to them when they step outside of their nations.

They are still considered United States Citizens within its Judicial jurisdiction.

The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, also known as the Snyder Act, was proposed by Representative Homer P. Snyder (R) of New York and granted full U.S. citizenship to the indigenous peoples of the United States, called "Indians" in this Act. While the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution defines as citizens any persons born in the U.S. and subject to its jurisdiction, the amendment had been interpreted to not apply to Native people.
