So why didn't Bingham who wrote the 14th say ANYTHING about Native Americans being citizens without needing the Snyder Act.
"BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP - IT'S "ALL OVER RED ROVER" SCOTUS WILL RULE IN FAVOUR OF TRUMP

So you know more than Congress knew and they were closer to the writing of the 14th.

Why did the SCOTUS say Elk was not a citizen.
Barron's father was an American and his mother had a green card at his birth. The SCOTUS has said the children of permanent residents that are born in the US are citizens. Illegal Aliens are not legal permanent residents.
To make up for the fact that the Indian territories were excluded from the 14th Amendment. At least that is what I understand.
Doesn't change the fact that it is technically possible for a child to be a citizen and the mother not to be a citizen.

...so a legal immigrant at the time.
SCOTUS has no authority to change any constitution or to overrule the authority of Congress.
Only CONGRESS can determine that. See Article I.

The Snyder Act is not the Constitution, Sybil. The word 'bigoted' is not defined by the Constitution either and does not appear anywhere in the Constitution.
The Constitution: The contract between the states that created the Federal Government. AKA the contract that lawyers and judges pretend is not a contract, because if contract law applied, then the original intent would matter. If original intent mattered nobody could say it was a "living document"... So.
Until you get the SCOTUS full of folks that understand that contract law should apply to this contract you are going to have morons telling you things like "The 14th Amendment made everyone citizens, except Native Americans"... but it didn't because "under the jurisdiction thereof" meant something different to the folks that wrote that thing than it does to us today. We know this because the dude that wrote it told us what it meant...

They cannot. They are illegal aliens. They have no path to citizenship. They are immediately subject to deportation.
Where does it say that?
Yep

The US doesn't need criminal aliens becoming citizens. Nor does the US need illiterate or semi-literate, turd-worlders with less than a 6th grade education who flaunt our laws. We have more than enough of our own due to the failure of our public education system.
