President Trump Considering Immigration Executive Order Removing Birthright Citizenship..
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | October 30, 2018 | sundance

“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.”

According to a widely repeated Axios interview with President Trump the administration is considering an executive order to eliminate the “Anchor Baby” interpretation within the 14th Amendment focused on “Birthright Citizenship.”

If the initial review of the intent is accurate, President Trump would sign an executive order that would remove the right to citizenship for babies of non-citizens and unauthorized immigrants born on U.S. soil.

Until the 1960s, the 14th Amendment was never applied to undocumented immigrants, illegal aliens, or temporary (Visa) immigrants/visitors. The legal issues of birthright citizenship surrounding children born to non-legal parents inside the U.S. has never been decided by the Supreme Court.

The Kenyan would have just declared it so and thus it was.

Idiot Ryan. Saw him on the news saying President Trump would be violating the Constitution if he puts forth an E.O.

Ryan obviously never read the text in the 14th Amendment:

"born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof"

All President Trump needs to do with an E.O., is to reinforce enforcement of this clause in the 14th Amendment. When the liberals howl, take it to the Supreme Court. If anyone tries to invalidate the E.O., then the 14th Amendment must also be invalidated - completely or amended!

Foreigners who have babies here, are not subject to our jurisdiction but that of their countries of origin, and that applies to their babies as well.

Was treated to a spectacle once down in El Paso. A Mexican peeing on the ground and saying, here is your anchor baby.

El Paso is a dirty city. Juarez? is so bad that larges sections are uninhabited. (or were a number of year ago.) A very dangerous place.

Here’s what people don’t dare acknowledge in this PC world: Dred Scott v. Sandford was rightly decided, based on the Constitution at the time. What went wrong was that it was exploited by early “progressives” who whipped people up into an EMOTIONAL frenzy. That caused the North to respond with violence when the South peacefully seceded.

That is what progressives do. They use emotional arguments to override logic and reason and use mass hysteria among the weak-minded to incite bloodshed.

After the Civil War, it was probably a good thing to grant citizenship to former slaves and their offspring. What else could be done? There was nothing that legally or morally required it. But, as a political matter, that probably was best.

However, the 14th Amendment was poorly written and has been misused tremendously. It’s also not clear that the Civil War amendments were legally ratified. But that’s another issue.

We have A LOT to do to restore the Republic. Much damage has been done over the last 150 years. Reestablishing the idea of legal citizenship and expelling several generations of interlopers is just a start.

Yes, and they don’t seem to have an upper limit on their hysteria.

“We have A LOT to do to restore the Republic.”

The forces arrayed against the one man who is trying to save the republic are staggering. I’m not optimistic it can be done peacefully any longer....Trump is leaving everything on the field and the attacks on him just continue to increase- From the Repukis, the dems, the corrupt state, the courts, the media, etc.
