Ah, I don't know if it worked quite like that. It was more that the refugee community was already hanging out?

They were actors who were actual refugees!! Hollywood was *full* of refugees at the time, including some of the cinematographers and directors.

I’m always struck by the realization that in 1942 when Casablanca was written and filmed, no one knew how the war would turn out.
And by the fact that some of the actors singing were real-life refugees from the Nazi advances.

Good point.
They make a complete hash of what "allegiance" meant (not a voluntary pledge) in the sources they misquote. But it's all irrelevant anyway because the 14th doesn't say allegiance! It says jurisdiction. They're off spinning in circles misconstruing a word that's not even in the text.

thought about at all in how its members, or children, fit into these metaphors about citizenship.
It's weird to think that the Reconstruction Framers *created* corruption of the blood penalties for children of an unimagined future category of visa-overstayers, but not for those of rebels.

It's infuriating that the same people— here meaning the Claremont crowd and Trump legal circles in general, not Barnett and Wurman— are importing this allegiance and lawbreaking story into 14(1) where it doesn't belong *and* have gutted the actual disability for breaking allegiance in 14(3).
