So you're saying that the "worst" are the lawful US residents/citizens of Cuban descent? And that is somehow a reason to terminate birthright citizenship.
And your pair of anecdotes is supposed to amount to evidence that half of your class was not lawfully immigrated to the United States? 15% of Key Largo is foreign born.
One person is enough to change this law, all beggars can leave this nation. We don’t cater to dreamers of other nations any longer. Only those legally green card applied who have skills, rest get out. Americans > everyone else in my mind. I live here so I only care about my friends and neighbors. Sorry other nations. Fix yourselves
I'm not a fan of birthright citizenship.
It doesn't benefit America in any way, and directly incentivizes people to come or stay here illegally.
That said, I'm in awe of Republicans who want this to be overturned by EO.
It shows that Republicans have as much respect for the Constitution, as they do for family values, the national debt, and the middle class, which is none, unless it suits them.
Overturning is and should be a difficult and bi-partisan process. Maybe this is an issue that we can all unite over, and work together on, but it sure as **** is not something that the President can overturn by EO.
It was a dumb political stunt like putting troops who can't do anything on the border, over a month before they won't be able to do anything.
I also think that it flies in the face of what Trump actually wants. I would guess that Birthright citizenship is taken advantage of far more by the wealthy than by the poor, and I don't think that's who Trump wants to keep out.
if a baby is born oversea to an american citzen mother and father then the baby is a citizen, so why cant it be reverse the same logic, if an mexican baby is born over seas to a mexican citizen mom and dad then the bay is a mexican citizen

It doesn’t work that way. A massive percent of Americans have close family and relatives who are not American citizens because somewhere along the lineage you weren’t from here either. Your great grandparents were English, Scottish, Welsh, German, French, Italian, Irish, Swedish, Czech, Danish, Russian, Portuguese, and the establishment of the United States was a collaborative effort on multiple nations helping us. We are not a secluded country and there’s no wall around us in anything you consume every day.
You simply suppress the advantages of multicultural learning by putting a wall around us when everything we depend on is made somewhere else. You eliminate skillsets we need desperately.
One other country of the world has a ton of chefs, another is the prime force in why you don’t pay $1,000 a night for a clean 3-star hotel room bed sheets changed daily,
Another operates your Triple AAA and Uber services at hours most the rest of us don’t want to be out. You get the best of all this by allowing entry to different people, and you can suppress all new migrants and you will see your quality of life go down pretty quickly. You won’t have moving services as most of the strongest of these guys are 1st and 2nd generation immigrants from Eastern Europe.
And should a child born in the US be of non-citizens whose previous nationhood no longer exists due to the outcome of a war abroad, you create enormous complications retracting that child’s only citizenship to render the kid stateless.
Who has suggested we revoke citizenship already granted? Going forward, if a child is born here to illegal parents, it should not have birthright citizenship and should be removed along with it's parents long before any taxpayer-funded education takes place.

We have enough diversity to last us a few hundred years already.
I'm for closing the loophole and clarifying the 14th amendment was solely about the former slaves.
Simply untrue. Read the contemporaneous discussion. More discussion of the treatment of Gypsies and Chinese than of Blacks. The legislators understood what they were doing.

Just say the 14 words dude.
