The 14th amendment of the U.S. constitution states that “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.” Opponents of birth right citizenship argue that the 14th amendment is not clear since it does not specifically state that babies born to parents who were in the United States unlawfully were automatically citizens. Proponents argue that overturning the 14th amendment would increase the number of undocumented immigrants with each child born here, cost the U.S. taxpayers billions, and reduce the tax base.

Children of illegal immigrants should be deported with their parents. Children of illegals who are born here should be immediately placed into foster care and the parents deported.
@4PQN7G44yrs4Y
No! They are citizens of their parents homelands. The 14th amendment was expressly for the children of slaves. Unless the parents were legally in the US and in process of achieving permanent or citizenship status then the kids should NOT get citizenship.
@4Q4HBM94yrs4Y
if you are born in the United States of America you are a citizen
@4RS8N5Y4yrs4Y
Once an illegal has committed a crime and gets deported for it he/she should be tattooed so that when he/she simply re-crosses the border anyone can see they are illegal and report them. We have had enough instances of repeat crimes from illegal aliens.
@4JHCCKK4yrs4Y
Do we REALLY want to go fight World War One again? Are people really so stupid as to not remember that widespread failure to grant citizenship rights ethnic minorities was why Ferdinand was shot and ignited a world war? Yeah, unfortunately, we probably are that stupid.
@4RYHLZQ4yrs4Y
yes and we should at that moment of birth have a process in place to make the parents legal at the very least work here, unless they are engaged in criminal activities. Only then should the family be split up for the safety of the child.
@58F3P544yrs4Y
Yes, but only if that child was conceived here.
@4R2CGJK4yrs4Y
I agree with the 14th amendment: 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.
*Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is granted to a foreign citizen or national after he or she fulfills the requirements established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act

Great news!! There are already those laws in place!

Great! ENFORCE THEM! Punish their Aiders & Abetters with extreme prejudice!

Please find me substantiated claims of multiple illegal immigrants voting in a national, presidential election.
And of course the operative word is “substantiated” not just ‘my brother saw a Mexican guy at the polls’

NYC Mayor Calls for Reversal Of Sanctuary City Laws
@SalamiArianna1Y
Yeah, China and Venezuela are two that I know of that won't take any of the illegals back. I guess it's going to come down to diplomacy - we will have to find some way to force them to take them back.
@ShyGelding1Y
The feds can transport them and leave them inside their home airports. Wether the other countries want it or not. That's how the deportations usually occur. After that it's their issue
@SalamiArianna1Y
Venezuela will not let flights in from the United States and Mexico.

“Absolutely Insane”: Pentagon Officials Slam Trump’s Deportation Plan
@MonkeyHailey4MO
Legal or not, people are sick of the open border nonsense. If the feds won’t step up, then states like Texas have every right to defend themselves. This isn’t about ego—it’s about survival. If that makes people uncomfortable, too bad.
@8CVF89Z4MO
Using “survival” to justify mass deportations is just fearmongering. These are human beings, many of whom have built lives and families here. We should be focused on humane immigration reform, not militarized crackdowns. This is a moral failure.
@MonkeyHailey4MO
Moral failure? The real moral failure is letting our country be overrun because liberals are too soft to enforce the law. If Trump’s plan upsets you, maybe it’s because it forces you to confront how broken your open-border policies really are.

Trump's Claims Of A Migrant Crime Wave Are False

This decision carries significant diplomatic costs. Our refugee program has been a cornerstone of US foreign policy since WWII. Allies will think twice before helping us if we abandon those who assist American interests.
@98VB7LB2MO
We're full! Our own citizens need help first. Veterans homeless, kids hungry - charity starts at home.
@TacosEverly2MO
Research shows refugees actually boost local economies long-term. They fill labor shortages, start businesses at high rates, and pay more in taxes than they receive in benefits over their lifetime.

@Politic4lLeo_4766MO
The real issue isn't immigration; it's the economic inequality perpetuated by capitalism. Both citizens and immigrants are victims of a system that values profit over people. Let's focus on creating a fair society for all
@TranquilMandrill6MO
capitalism isn't perfect, but it's brought innovation and prosperity. We need practical solutions like reforming immigration laws to be both compassionate and economically sound.
@Politic4lLeo_4766MO
capitalism inherently exploits the working class. Borders serve to divide the proletariat. We should unite across nations to dismantle the capitalist system that's failing us all

Trump's Claims Of A Migrant Crime Wave Are False
@CivilLibertiesKoala1Y
I am a deep Blue Dem, through & through but a few years back my own son was jumped, robbed & beaten by about 10 non-English speaking guys & was taken to hospital. Those of us that live amongst migrants are being impacted & this Dem has grown weary of that kind of violent crime.
@EuphoricCivilLiberties1Y
Your one example doesn’t disprove the fact that immigrants commit fewer crimes than citizens.
@CivilLibertiesKoala1Y
If the criminals are not prosecuted then the data isn’t accurate. Of each of the Americans killed in the past 2 weeks the violent offenders were arrested in prior incidents & freed without prosecution. Why are you so desperate to deny reality. What do you get out of it?

@GranolaEli6MO
I agree, such great policies.
Here’s my only question though… why wait until 2025? Why not implement these now?
Honestly they should’ve been started a year or two ago
@NominationTerry6MO
She’s not the President and she needs a Dem House and Senate to pass it
@GranolaEli6MO
I highly doubt Biden would say no to these. It’s not like they’re different parties. They’re the same regime.
They should start implementation now. It shows commitment to her pledges. If republicans say no she can use that to her advantage and boost house/senate voter turnout

Nevada's Immigration Roulette: How Deportation Could Trigger Another Great Recession
@8KPDQJM5MO
This debate is missing the point: capitalism thrives on exploiting immigrant labor, and that's why both parties talk a big game but don’t change anything. We need to dismantle the capitalist system that treats workers—immigrants and citizens alike—as disposable tools for profit.
@SolidMare5MO
We’ve become too soft on enforcing immigration laws, and the country’s paying for it. Trump’s policies weren’t extreme—they were necessary. Mass deportation might sound harsh, but we need to prioritize legal citizens first, especially when it comes to jobs and social services.
@8KPDQJM5MO
How can you justify mass deportation as ‘necessary’? These are people who’ve lived here for years, worked hard, and built lives. We should be focusing on creating a system that respects human rights, not ripping families apart in the name of border security

Not really, Greg bused like .001% of them. Most will stay in Texas because that's where the work is. It will be a blue state soon. Just like Abbott was told to do. NYC is feeling the influx of the 3rd worldflights
@Pr0porti0nalCoyote4MO
Is that true? I don't recall Adams complaining until the busses started coming in from Texas.
@PopulistAlexa4MO
No it's not true. You are correct, and Abbott commented that they were only sending a small percentage from the start. But it was enough to overburden NYC, LA, and Chicago's welfare system causing them to beg Biden for federal aid.

7.2 Million Illegals Entered The US Under Biden
@Patriot-#17761Y
That's absurd – the average person would save well over 13,000 dollars a year, per person, meaning the family of four would save fifty-two thousand dollars per year, if not for the ludicrous taxes imposed on the working class, whereas certain people being extremely rich does not harm anyone in the slightest. Imagine how well we'd be doing if the average family of four made 52 thousand more dollars per year – we'd have the greatest boom in history, instantly. That's what would happen if we abolished or even relaxed these taxes.
@9CJ6CB61Y
Surplus value theft is of a far higher amount, often directly embezzled by the very rich people you claim are harmless. They gain that much money off of the workers in one way or another, since no one EARNS obscene amounts of wealth, even from rich people getting much richer with high stock increase, because the workers are the ones that make it possible for that company to grow in the first place, and that money is part of company assets derived directly from the workers themselves. Taxation is negligible in comparison, and would be completely obsolete if the workers got the money they were creating, and the my democratically controlled the workplace.
