Can I borrow that crystal ball you have that tells you personally what other people's motives and thoughts are? I need the winning lottery numbers for Saturday night.

Trump has talked about birthright citizenship before. This isn't the first time. Try again.

I just want Trump to act on ending birthright citizenship. If not him and not now, then who and when?

As do I. This making a mockery out of our citizenship should never have been allowed to happen. What's wrong with the Supreme Court that has been ignoring the wording of the 14th Amendment for so long? They are supposed to uphold the Constitution not make a PC policy out of it.

Nope! For the umpteenth time that case was about legally domiciled parents giving birth on our soil. They weren't illegal aliens.

Wrong, Wong's parents were not illegal aliens at the time of his birth in the US.

Besides, the supreme court once said segregation is constitutional. So who cares what the supreme court ruled 120 years ago anyway? The supreme court has reversed itself before.

I don't understand it either. It's making America into a fake, illegitimate country made up of fake and illegitimate citizens.

I hope President Trump is serious about eliminating birthright citizenship. It should have been eliminated ages ago.

I hope this is eliminated as well, but we probably should push for an amendment since there is really not anything Trump can do with an EO.

We should define birthright citizenship to legal residents. No more tourists or illegal residents. Babies born to parents in limbo (like asylum seekers), will get their citizenship if their mother's asylum status is granted.

The idea that you get American citizenship based on the latitude and longitude of your mother's p*ssy is one of the dumbest things I can think of.
