It will be close but I believe that Hagan (d) supreme court justice has worked on a case like this on a different type of illegal immigration and will have to recluse herself from the case so it will be heard by a majority republican supreme court and the case is being presented by two good constitutional attorney's. So we will see what happens the court has several cases on immigration that are about be cleared up they rushed SB1070 up there from Arizona you can follow there cases and judgments on line/

My point with the Irish, Polish, and Germans was to show that immigration has always been "burning" this country, that's why they call it the melting pot. Look there has already been a case in the Supreme court that has ruled your "jurisdiction" argument void. Research "United States v. Wong Kim Ark". Remember this was at the time when Chinese immigrants were excluded from citizenship. So that argument won't go anywhere including in a highly conservative court. So the whole issue is just a throwing wood to the fire of their racist base. The 14th amendment has survived many waves of immigrants and would continued to do so, since it took an entire war for its ratification.
