Donald Trump who's as dumb as a rock along with being an obvious racist and white nationalist. All this is part of his efforts to increase voter turnout among his most fervent supporters. As I said Donald Trump is just plain stupid. Because birthright citizenship is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution through the 14th amendment. To repeal an amendment would require a 2/3 majority vote in the House and Senate. Followed by 38 states legislatures voting for repeal. That's not going to happen.
President Donald Trump vowed to the right of citizenship to children born in the United States to non-citizens and illegal immigrants in his latest bid to dramatically reshape immigration policies just days before the midterm elections.
Trump would target the citizenship right through an executive order, he told news website Axios in an interview published on Tuesday, a move that would prompt a legal fight.
The right of U.S. citizenship is granted to U.S.-born children under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which cannot be changed by the president.
The text of the 14th Amendment reads: “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.” Current Supreme Court precedent shows that the children of noncitizens born in the United States are citizens.
