- "[Solicitor general John D.] Sauer claims that the [fourteenth] amendment [to the United States constitution] does not in general citizenize American-born children of illegal aliens or of temporary visitors. […] By contrast, in the 1930s, 1940s, and early 1950s, countless notable figures who were linked to the enactment of the 1952 statute read Wong Kim Ark as confirming that the 14th Amendment citizenized American-born children of foreign parents even if these parents were here merely temporarily or indeed illegally."
