Trump is defending the constitution .

He's just trolling

He can't do it and he won't.

POTUS can't sign an EO and override the constitution, only congress can.

Desperation

He's an enemy of the people.

It says a lot that he wants ignorant racist voters to think he can override the constitution. Total scum

All he has are lies and fears.

It wouldn't surprise me if he thinks this should be retroactive legislation. I'm not saying he would know what retroactive means, but he'll probably want to eject every citizen born to immigrants in the last 100 years.

Every citizen born to immigrants in the last 100 years... Would be a large percentage of the country.

That would include my mother; Her mother came here from Poland in the 1940s.

The Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment states: "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."

and subject to the jurisdiction thereof = legal citizens and legal green card holders.

And before you haters try to argue, get some facts:

Enough! Feds Raid 20 Chinese Immigrant “Birth Hotels” in Los Angeles

^^ Clearly abusing the system, and common-sense Americans have had enough.

Asspimp supports a dictator who's going to deport his anchor baby ass.

Anybody inside the U.S. borders, other than diplomats, are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

If an undocumented alien were not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States then they could NOT be arrested or deported for entering illegally.


.

When did you come here again? I guess it's fine for Trump to take advantage of the system, but nobody else. Trump's gold digging trophy wife got her parents in... but nobody else should?

Trump has clearly abused the system, but that's ok I guess.

You are the epitome of GFY hypocrisy.

The 14th amendment was passed in 1868 in response to Southern States "Black Codes" after the civil war. The "Black Codes" were state laws that kept black people from being totally free.

It was an amendment to the Constitution to ensure that all slaves in the U.S. and all their children were to be citizens.

It was never meant for ILLEGAL aliens to walk across the border and drop a kid out of their womb and be a "citizen" and then have the whole family brought in as part of "chain migration".

People these days are so uneducated about the Constitution and it's origins and meanings.

"Birthright Citizenship" isn't a part of the Constitution. And the reason that the amendment says "subject to the jurisdiction off the United States" is because it wanted to cover ALL former slaves...including slaves who were recently brought to the United States.

It's actually an amendment that should be repealed...much the way the 18th amendment was repealed by the 21st amendment.

There is no more need for slaves to be given citizenship. That is the distant past.
Politicians used that amendment in modern times to give citizenship to their ambassadors who had children abroad by proclaiming that the Embassy in a foreign country was "U.S. soil" (even though it legally isn't).

And most recently it has been used politically in the whole immigration debate.

What Trump is doing is pretty obvious.
He is going to do the Executive Order.
That will IMMEDIATELY trigger a liberal Judge to stop it.

Then it will go to the Supreme Court.
Then "Birthright Citizenship" will be ruled to be un-Constitutional.

Then it would be up to Congress to amend the Constitution to allow illegal immigrants to walk across the border and give birth to a new U.S. citizen...or not.

Who we vote for in Congress and the Senate is very important in these matters.

Whichever side of the debate you are on (and the Democrats until the last few years were ANTI-Illegal-Immigration)...you need to vote for the politicians who will do what you want them to do.

And this folks is where you see people who have billed themselves as constitutionalists for years on GFY justify bypassing the Constitution via executive order.

"Oh amendments to the Constitution people have been following for 150 years doesn't really mean what they've been using it for for 150 years"

Fucking idiots

We'll do an executive order to take away your guns when the next Democrat is president. Complete fucking morons

Uh yea it is. It's called the 14th Amendment.
