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?

    Even removing the 14th amendment wouldn’t take away non-citizen rights. The Bill of Rights applies to all persons living or residing within the United States. Regardless of whether or not they’re citizens.

    Team Trump doesn’t give a shit about the rule of law though 🤷

      Hmm. You know what, that does sound like a problem. Let’s take it to the courts. Hell, this is important enough (unlike investigating a violent insurrection), so let’s escalate that all the way to the supreme court.

      What’s that? They said “whatever trump wants”?
