Trump will announce end of birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants, officials say

WASHINGTON –Incoming President Donald Trump will announce the end of birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants in an Executive Order on his first day of office, incoming White House officials said.

The federal government will no longer recognize the immediate citizenship of children of illegal immigrants born in the US “on a prospectivebasis,” the incoming official said on a call Monday morning.

Trump had discussed ending birthright citizenship on the campaign trail, but the action could raise legal questions, as the 14th amendment states, “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.”

Now before you all start, I quit caring about "legal" a while ago. We just need to get the needful done.

The Democrats don't care about laws, why should we?

Indeed, pulling a page out of the dem playbook of "it takes two years to overturn anything, I say why not....Go for it!
While I highly doubt his EO will ever go into effect as it will be immediately challenged in court, damn near anything is possible with this screwed up SCOTUS. Going to be interesting watching them twists themselves into pretzels to approve this particular EO.

And if they don't strike it down, the country is walking dead. Jus solis has been at the core of American exceptionalism. If it stands, then scrap the Statue of Liberty, I hear copper brings a good price.

I mean those that support such utter nonsense, abolishing birthright citizenship, are filled with fear. Cowards really. Racist for damn sure. Despicable human beings with no knowledge of history.

There is no such animal as American exceptionalism.

Maybe not now, and certainly not after Trump fucks this place up. But, since the 14th amendment, and I would argue, because of it, America was exceptional.

Take WWI. Sure, we were slow to get in on the action, but when those American soldiers showed up, holy shit, they were HUGE. Of course, many of them were part of the 369th Infantry regiment, the Harlem Hellfighters. Few people realize that, and how did those fighters come to be--the 14th amendment.

Same for WWII. Birthright citizenship played a role, but so did the CCC. Individuals from diverse ethnic backgrounds learned to work together years before WWII. Those that are against immigration, both legal and illegal, are clueless. Immigrants, both illegal and legal, have lower incarceration rates, lower use of hospital rates, higher rates of entrepreneurship, and they pay tqxes, billions of dollars worth to Social Security alone, knowing they will get nothing in return.

We don't have an immigration problem, we have a white trash problem. Trump is white trash, his supporters are white trash, and things are about to get real.
