Wurman makes the full originalist case that the conventional wisdom on birthright citizenship rests on two shaky pillars: a misreading of the common law and a misreading of the 14th Amendment. He explains why birth alone was never actually the rule at common law, what \"subject to the jurisdiction thereof\" really meant to the people who wrote it, and why the social compact theory changes everything. He also gives his honest read on Trump v. Barbara, what he thinks the Supreme Court will do, and what Congress could do right now if it decided to act. This one is for immigration hawks and legal eagles alike.
