BTW, this makes us hipocrites too, not just them.

If you don’t like the amended rights, amend them. Obama showed that executive power is a real threat to constitution rights.

I disagree, although there should be a law to clarify the application of the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” (quoted from memory - forgive me if it’s not exact).

This EO would be a clarification of how to apply the amendment, and is completely within the expressed intent of the people that wrote the amendment. When Obama created DACA, he instructed prosecutors to implicitly created a protected status for kids brought across the border, in contravention of the actual meaning and intent of the law.

By instructing the administrative arms of the government to apply the law as actually written, President Trump is faithfully executing the law - not breaking it.

If he were contravening the actual amendment, then I would agree on the need to be hypocritical to support the move.
