Trump pledges to protect Americans and end birthright citizenship by executive order on day one.

[Billiejeens]

It deals with the fact that the only children born here and not recognized as Americans at the Founding were blacks and natives. There was no such thing as illegal aliens. The new world wanted all the laborers and bodies it could get. The 14th Amendment was meant to address the only people excluded from that franchise.

It wasn't.
Credit left wing lunatics .

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

The leftists completely ignore our immigration laws then steadfastly defend the law once the illegals are in the country.
Example #6,975 leftism is a mental disorder.

Read the Constitution

What was the original purpose of the 14th amendment?

Credit left wing lunatics .

It was. Tell me, how can the original intent of the Amendment have anything to do with illegal immigration when illegal immigration wasn't a thing? What was a thing was birth right citizenship for everyone but former slaves and natives which the 14th Amendment addresses.

He made the same empty promise last time. It can't be done by EO.

While "birthright citizenship" is found nowhere in the Constitution or any Amendment - it is a distortion of wording in the 14th Amendment - it would definitely take a LAW, passed by Congress and signed by the President to overturn it.

And it won't work even if passed, because some leftist Federal District Court Judge would make every human on earth "grandfathered" in to the old interpretation.

You're right, and EO won't work ... unless the Sup Ct changes the law.

But birthright citizenship is not "a misreading" of the 14th. The point of the 14th was to prevent the .1% from ever again creating a "class" of workers who are not citizens

It forbids importing workers whose children cannot be citizens.

[BrokeLoser]

If you could ask the authors whether the 14th amendment applied to illegal aliens, they’d ask you WTF is an illegal alien.

Wrong again America Hater….the founders would say anybody not a white person is an illegal alien.
Know your history, I get tired of teaching you fools.

That's why the left abuses the 14th amendment and democrats didn't vote for it. They hate freedom and democracy.

AMENDMENT XIV

Section 1.
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. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Section 2.
Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

Section 3.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Section 4.
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Section 5.
The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

answer my question.

I did. You guys can't admit to the truth. The original purpose for the 14th Amendment was to ensure ex slaves and their descendants had full citizenship rights.

 

[Zincwarrior]

I asked you first. What was the original purpose for the 14th amendment?

Also to be clear, there is Federal Legislation. He literally can't do it with an EO. But you be stupid and follow Your Leader.

 

[Mac-7]

It doesn't work that way but the gullible will eat it up.

Then he will make Mexico pay for the wall.................

I think if it goes to the Supreme Court - as it surely would - no one knows what the gods in black robes will say

Purpose is irrelevant.

Because they were the only ones excluded from that. There were no illegal aliens and so it's impossible to argue this amendment meant to exclude a class of people who didn't exist.

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.

I do not care, I care about the words of the Constitution not someone's opinion of why they were written.
