The Left says the Fourteenth Amendment settled birthright citizenship in 1868. Dr. John Eastman says the history says otherwise. The amendment codified the 1866 Civil Rights Act, which granted citizenship to all persons born here and "not subject to any foreign power," which is why temporary visitors and, at the time, Native Americans owed allegiance elsewhere were not automatically citizens. The 1898 Wong Kim Ark decision involved parents who were permanently and lawfully domiciled here, a phrase the opinion used 28 times, and it did not settle the question for temporary visitors or people here illegally. Eastman explains why citizenship in a nation built on consent of the governed requires bilateral consent, not a one-way claim.
