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?
I believe what initiated this line of thinking were “illegal immigrants” giving birth in America and having their children now be considered American. They don’t want that to be an option. Going forward from that, I think a “bonus” for them is that they can institute a more rigorous test for citizenship, prodding at what your political beliefs might be and they’d get to do it to everyone, weeding out people from the population they deem undesired.
Liberal? Denied.
