I don’t understand why Trump wants to get rid of birthright citizenship.
Imo this is one of the core values that make America so great. The fact that everyone born on American soil is American feels like a natural law. This makes America feel way more open and free.
But if even people born in America will not be considered American than what type of country are we talking about? One that’s locked up for the elite?
Is there any way we can protect our constitution?
This is not as universal a thing as we think it is in America. Birthright citizenship is only common in North and South America, partly due to their colonial heritage. They needed more citizens to be successful countries after independence (and also to displace the native population). In Asia/Africa it is far less common. Sone European countries require that one parent at least has a residency permit before they automatically confer citizenship to children.

Which, IMO Jus Soil is unethical nonsense. You don’t have a citizenship right to literally the only place you’ve ever lived? Ridiculous. Funny how protecting children falls away when their parents are immigrants.
