Citizenship of the United States

The Naturalization of Aliens is the articulation of Article 1 § 8 cls 4, the Constitution of the United States of the United States of America, which enables Congressional legislation to be enacted to prescribe the standards for attaining Citizenship here in the United States of America by alien residents.

Prior to 1850 as a general rule of a State's Constitution, Qualified Voters were first residents of the State. Following 1850, over the next twenty years, the State Constitutions amended that position to stipulate the qualified voter shall be a citizen of the United States.

Michigan's 1835 Constitution Article II § 1 required a residence of six months minimum prior to an election whilst not qualifying the franchise as to Citizenship.

State Officers as clearly written in Article IV § 7 had to be a citizen of the United States, to sit as elected members of the Public Trust under the State Capitol Dome.

The 1850 Michigan State Constitution enfranchised resident aliens; "every male inhabitant of foreign birth who, having resided in the State two years and six months prior to the eighth day of November, eighteen hundred and ninety-four, and having declared his intention to become a citizen of the United States two years and six months prior to said last named day".

The George Romney's Michigan State Constitution of 1963, Article II § 1 enfranchises only citizens of the United States as the qualified voter. Alien, legal or not shall not attain the franchise to vote here in the lands of the Wolverine.

So here within the exterior boundaries of Michigan, a legal resident alien has no standing to enjoy the elective franchise.

As for naturalization, the Naturalization Act of 1790 prescribed in 276 words the means for a resident alien of good moral character to petition a State Court to secure a certificate of naturalization as a Citizen of the United States. The Naturalization Act of January 29, 1795 (1 Stat. 414) repealed the former law of 1790.  

This new enactment, then as did the 1790 act, clearly articulated that a Resident Alien of good moral character may apply to the local State Court, and or Federal District Court following five years of residency to secure a certificate of Naturalization.

So it is quite apparent that the Tenth Amendment center is playing fast and loose with its overview of Article I § 8 cls 4. Why, well Article I § 8 cls 18 constitutionally constitutes  Congress' standing to address how an alien residing in the United States of America shall attain citizenship.

If that requirement requires a legal crossing at a port of entry, no state may move contrary to that statutory requirement by offering state law sanctuary to what is an illegal alien.

This constitutional authority granted by the States to the Congress of the United States of America, as annotated in Article I § 8 cls 4 and 18 stipulates that state actors such as those Progressives occupying the Bear Republic under the State's Capitol Dome in Sacramento, who have enacted state "sanctuary laws" have apparently chosen to overtly move seditious acts of conspiracy to violate the Constitution and Laws of the United States. Ah whoops eh!
