This is probably a joke, but I find it important to speak on the matter.

The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States says:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

So unless you can definitively prove that she was born outside the United States, she's an American citizen. Furthermore, the United States allows dual citizenship, so she could theoretically be both a citizen of the United States and Jamaica, however, India doesn't allow dual citizenship, which means she has to renounce her American citizenship first, which she hasn't done.

Please, you are going to spoil their rant.

In any case, what makes you think this is a joke? It seems more like a lie to me.

The fact that they talk about the Constitutions of India and Jamaica while ignoring that of the United States, and that they seemingly don't know that 1. dual citizenship is a thing and 2. her US citizenship takes precedent. Anyone with a 6th grade education would see right through it.

How does US citizenship "take precedent?" What does that even mean?

Born on US soil = American citizen. Basic civics.

It means that as long as were in America who gives 2 shits what the Indian and Jamaican constitutions say. Harris is a complete POS, but unfortunately she is an American citizen, by virtue of being born on our soil. You dont need to have US citizen parents to be considered a US citizen.
