Trump vows to end birthright citizenship for illegal aliens if president again
2023-05-31
[NYPOST] Former President Donald Trump
...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election...
 pledged Tuesday to enact an executive order ending birthright citizenship guarantees for children of illegal aliens if he regains the White House in 2024, despite past constitutional objections and failures to follow through on the move.

Trump, 76, said the agenda for his second nonconsecutive term would end both birthright citizenship and so-called "birth tourism" in the US on his first day in office — a proposal he also floated before and during his first term in the Oval Office.

"My policy will choke off a major incentive for continued illegal immigration, deter more migrants colonists from coming, and encourage many of the aliens Joe The Big Guy Biden

 has unlawfully let into our country to go back to their home countries," Trump said in an Agenda 47 announcement video, calling the policy a "willful misinterpretation of the law by the open borders advocates."

#6  "subject to the jurisdiction thereof"

Sovereignty. Very debatable.

What is a foreign sovereign? Does a pinky toe on American soil transfer a foreigner's agency to the jurisdiction of the united states? Am I mexican just b/c I'm down in Baja? Conversely how can we say a mexican is american just because the experts told us? Trained us. I reject the whole notion. So did the Founding Fathers.

#5   IIRC, the Germans can kick out a Turk even if born and raised there.

Even if they’ve become German citizens? Very few resident Turks become German citizens — my understanding is that if they do so they lost inheritance rights back home.

#4  There's an easy fix for this given how abortion-happy liberals are: Any non-citizen trying to enter the US gets a free abortion. If they don't want one, they can give birth somewhere else.

#3  I am sure the initiative polled well. It won’t work, but it polled well.

#2  Can't even get Congress to vote that English is the official language of the United States.

More Trump hot air? Perhaps.

On a related note, IIRC, the Germans can kick out a Turk even if born and raised there.

#1  14th Amendment -

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.

That is going to require 2/3 of the House and Senate and 3/4 of the States to change. I doubt that SCOTUS would buy the argument that illegals that ignored their appearance date declared by their actions that they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
