Hell yes compared to Guatemala, Ecuador and 90% of the entire world. Ever seen all the freebies our poor people get here and job opportunities?

Only place in the world where our poor have an obesity problem, cell phones and a 50 inch TV. What a dumb question.

I've seen pictures/footgage of this "caravan" and all (or most) I see is MEN - YOUNG, MIDDLE-AGED MEN.



Unlike the lying "media" has been telling us.



That said, pregnant women are surely in there as well, and no doubt want to drop that anchor here.



Though this has been being allowed by "our government" for several decades now.

You know, you can claim this til the cows come home, it doesn't make it any more true.

Yes, and Obama's EO was done to reward law breakers. Trump's EO is ending rewarding foreign law breakers by ending giving their kids our birthright citizenship. Two entire different scenarios.

2 wrongs make a right in your world? Ignoring the fact that the second one is about changing a amendment to the constitution by EO?


Just imagine what a president could do with that power....

It was not the intention of the 14th amendment either. Deal with it.

Deal with what? There is birthright citizenship in the USA. Its extant.


Are you talking about you having to deal with the fact that there is, still, birthright citizenship? Perhaps you'll get your wish, who knows, but until then you are the one having to do the dealing I'm afraid to say!

Because we say so. The fact that WE determine that is actually an example of US exercising our jurisdiction over them.

If birthright citizenship is canceled, then no one would be citizen just because they were born here. They will have to acquire citizenship through other means.

But I guess it will depend on the text on the new Constitution which Trump is designing.

Illegal immigrants are less of a burden on society than the average trump voter (high school dropouts).
