Trump says he is seriously looking at ending birthright citizenship

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - trump said on Wednesday that his administration was seriously looking at ending the right of citizenship for U.S.-born children of noncitizens and people who immigrated to the United States illegally.

"We're looking at that very seriously, birthright citizenship, where you have a baby on our land, you walk over the border, have a baby - congratulations, the baby is now a U.S. citizen. ... It's frankly ridiculous," Trump told reporters outside the White House.

Trump has made cracking down on immigration a central plank of his presidency and re-election campaign, but many of the administration's sweeping rule changes and executive orders have been stymied by the courts.

The Republican president had told Axios news website in October 2018 that he would end "birthright citizenship" through an executive order. Experts have said such a move would run afoul of the U.S. Constitution.

The Constitution's 14th Amendment, passed after the Civil War to ensure that black Americans had full citizenship rights, granted citizenship to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States."

It has since routinely been interpreted to grant citizenship to most people born in the United States, whether or not their parents are American citizens or legally living in the United States.

Frederick Trump (born Friedrich Drumpf; 14 March 1869 – 30 May 1918) was a German–American businessman and the patriarch of the Trump family. Born in Kallstadt, in the Kingdom of Bavaria (now in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany), he emigrated to the United States at the age of 16 and started working as a barber. Several years later, in 1891, he moved to the Northwest. He allegedly made his fortune by operating restaurants and brothels in Seattle and the mining town Monte Cristo, and brothels in the Klondike Gold Rush.[1][2] He later returned to Kallstadt and married. Bavarian authorities accused him of emigrating when he was young to avoid fulfilling his military service, so he lost his Bavarian citizenship; he and his family returned to the United States. He never legally became a United States citizen.
He worked as a barber and hotel manager, and began to acquire real estate in Queens. He was the father of Frederick Christ Trump and John G. Trump, and grandfather of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States.

Right on.

Which would, of course, invalidate Trump's citizenship, and right to even be President.

I hope he does, but he'll probably fail at that too.

You think it's funny? You like your taxes wasted on anchor babies? I sure as hell don't.

You know what I think is funny??

If you saw the stuff I posted-he claims his own father was born in germany- what he is proposing would mean he is an achchor baby as well-& not a citizen just cause he was born here.......

So what, Bill ?

New immigration policies are never retroactive. It's pure teenage fantasy to think a new birthright law would be.

The Birth tourism industry is becoming a huge abuse of our current system.

"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

By those standards, he was legitimately elected president.

You didn't address my point, though. Do you approve of illegals having kids here (who now as American citizens) qualify for all the government handouts, or don't you?
I don't. Say what you will about Trump, but admit the fact he's trying to fix a problem that has gotten out of hand, a problem that wouldn't exist if all the stipulations
were enforced since Reagan gave those illegals amnesty. There's plenty of blame to go around for that, be it businesses and/or elected officials and enforcement agencies.

Doesnt pay taxes, doesnt care

Trump is correct. The 14th. Amendment was not written so any illegal can come here and have a litter of American citizens who then are eligible for government handouts.
Keep families together, arrest and deport them all.

Good thing, then, Frau Gobbels, that what you're bitch whining about isn't actually happening.
