So... They Are Actually Discussing the End to Birthright Citizenship.. Right Here, Right Now, In AMERICA

But no, not an end to birthright citizenship for everyone, they say. Just for the children of undocumented immigrants. That, and, oh btw, due process. But not for everyone, they SAY. Right.

From the guy (and the party) who wasn't going to touch Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. The one who said, leave abortion up to the states. The one who campaigned on inflation, who promised to end the Ukraine war on day one, who promised to lower the price of groceries, and btw, prescription drugs too. The one with a concept of a plan. Birthright citizenship... on the table, right here, right now,

The Constitution is merely a list of suggestions that the dictatorship can choose to follow or not.

I'd bet a majority of people would support updating this part of the Constitution. We have birth tourism here; its no secret. We also aren't the only country with this rule either.
But if you want to change it; do it the LEGAL way. Pass a new amendment & have the States ratify it
Otherwise shut the hell up.

The Question the Trump Administration Couldn’t Answer About Birthright Citizenship

(Trump's)order is at odds with the clear text of the Fourteenth Amendment, the original understanding, long-standing judicial interpretation, and multiple federal statutes. And it would destabilize the citizenship of many of the 3.6 million babies born, on average, in the United States every year—including those born to U.S. citizens. According to the executive order, a birth certificate alone would no longer demonstrate citizenship. All of those parents would have to somehow prove their own citizenship or immigration status before their child could be recognized as a citizen. Additionally, even babies born to lawful temporary immigrants—including temporary workers and students who have been living in the United States for years—would be denied citizenship, losing access to Medicaid, SNAP, and other federal and state benefits. Those children would be born undocumented, some stateless, all at risk of being deported on the first day of their life.

Trump’s Drug Prices Executive Order Is a Big Pile of Nothing

Trump claims that low drug prices outside the U.S. were because the federal government had been financially offsetting would-be high prices in other countries.

But that’s detached from reality—the U.S. pays more for drugs because it’s an outlier among high-income, first world countries, which predominantly support universal public health coverage.
