It’s significant that Wong Kim Ark resolved the issue and not some guy named Hans Schmidt - to my knowledge there was no question *at any point* whether the 14A applied to present non-citizens who were nonetheless eligible for eventual citizenship
finally, not one of the contrarians has stood up and said that they think the EO is constitutional. Not one. Maybe, partially, possibly, they say. and not one of them has seriously grappled with the statutory question.

A lot of people on Twitter and Bluesky alike love to go "what about Sudan?" in response to pro Palestinian sentiment but in general if you're pro Palestine you're also far likelier to be anti UAE. See for example the senator below, who was the harshest critic in the Senate of both Biden and Trump.
The RSF just attacked a kindergarten, killing at least 33 children in Sudan.
Meanwhile, the Trump Admin. continues to sell arms to the UAE, who are aiding these atrocities.
Imagine if Trump spent as much time trying to stop the killing, as he did getting the UAE to invest in his crypto coin.
