Trump wants to eliminate birthright citizenship?

[Bob Loblaw]

I say OK, if he can pass the test for new citizens.

I'm not too worried.

1. Apparently, he has

a Stupid List which he consults daily for new ideas.

2. My mother was a war bride

and not a citizen when I was born, after WWII. She died, at 25, before becoming one. Don't know if I should be packing or not. Kind of hilarious to be thinking of myself, at 70, as being an anchor baby.

3. Weren't his parents immigrants?

Can we tell deport him?

4. Fine

Oh no, I might get deported to the Netherlands...how awful....”don’t throw me in the briar patch”...LOL

5. Trump does not understand how government works

and knows nothing about the constitution.

This is the first line of the Fourteenth 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. "

It cannot be undone with an executive order. Trump is just trying to win votes in the mid terms, though he might actually believe he can do anything he wants by signing executive orders.
