Taking "advantage" was simply a preferable way to express what you called "usurp"...as long as you are not breaking our laws when here...then you are by definition abiding by our laws..... Whether you call it taking advantage of, or usurp, or even just "finding a loophole", it is a violation of the spirit of the law while staying just within the black letter of the law. The 14th was about civil liberties of and for recently freed slaves. Then as BRAIN pointed out, several other cases resulted in judicial interpretations that began stretching it to the point that now it is being used as a back door immigration tactic. Letter of the law maybe, but not the spirit intended.
