“We want to trigger a Supreme Court review of the phrase ‘subject to jurisdiction thereof’ which is contained in the 14th Amendment.”

Birthright Citizenship Fight—From Ariz. to the Supreme Court? - COLORLINES
here it is. right out in bold for everybody to see (bolding mine, by the way). Being subject to the jurisdiction thereof—that does NOT mean ‘being eligible for food stamps or welfare’ —that means the right to *nation/state protection* from the usurpation of constitutional rights or violence directed at you based on specific characteristics of your community.
this is not about protecting US citizens right to welfare or social security (which are both programs these particular groups of people want to see END for ALL citizens), this is about white supremacists having the right to violate as they please. And it’s about reinforcing the power of white supremacists over those they deem inferior.
