As the daughter of immigrants, I am relieved that they got this one right.
"Citizenship, then and now", Roberts concludes, "was the right to have rights-to freely participate in our political community. The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to 'every free-born' person in this land. We keep that promise today."

Trying to salvage a speck of decency I guess.
