President Donald Trump vowed Wednesday to continue fighting to end “so-called birthright citizenship.”
“So-called Birthright Citizenship, which costs our Country billions of dollars and is very unfair to our citizens, will be ended one way or the other,” he wrote on Twitter.
The president’s proposal to issue an executive order to end birthright citizenship was revealed by Axios reporter Jonathan Swan on Tuesday during an interview with Trump.
“It was always told to me that you needed a Constitutional amendment–guess what? You don’t,” Trump said. “Number one, you don’t need that. Number two, you can definitely do it with an act of Congress. But now they’re saying I can do it with just an executive order.
The proposal drew wide condemnation from establishment journalists and Democrats but earned praise from Senator Lindsey Graham for addressing a long-standing immigration issue.
The president also highlighted an old video clip of Harry Reid arguing against birthright citizenship.

End this, chain migration and illegals braking US law and entering illegally without automatic deportation and the lousy politians will not have to touch SSI and replenish what they have stolen for decades and still do it by leaving it in the general fund, which was transferred there by Bill Clinton and the Democrats
ReplyDeleteIt should have never started.
ReplyDeleteWe have a Constitutional Amendment that prevents birthright citizenship for foreign citizens. A Honduran citizen that gives birth while visiting here either legally or illegally gives birth to a Honduran citizen by definition of our 14th A.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, it states that if one commits a crime here, like entering illegally, it actually PREVENTS one from the ability to become a citizen!
Better re-read the Constitution Steve.
ReplyDeleteIn the short term an executive order will do but in the long term an act of congress up held by the supreme court is the best bet.
ReplyDelete8:57, I did. Foreign national citizens are never under US jurisdiction, as they are citizens of another country. They can't be called for jury duty, for example.
ReplyDeleteYou need to read it again, this time all the words. The 14th was written after the 13th left all the free slaves es born here without citizenship. Even Native Indians were excluded with their nations being on reservations. Q925 fixed that, but not for foreign nationals.
