Good next move is for the Supreme Court to rule


Of course.

But SCOTUS needs something to rule on and Trump's appointed AG has to have legal decrement and motivation to defend the EO from the ground all the way to SCOTUS.

It only exists from dicta of a supreme court decision, so it's debatable whether that was a valid exercise of Article III authority in the first place.

Was the birth rite thing for legal immigrants? Children born in the US from legal immigrants.


Legal immigrants who have been naturalized are US citizens so their kids are already citiizens just like your kids.

Its not about authority. Its about time.

He signs the EO. It effectively goes into law. Fed judges from everywhere stop it and it gets held up in courts.

This gives time to house and senate to pass a frigging bill. We all know it takes months for them to do so.

it's made so clear in the Constitution that anyone born here can be a citizen.



But this isn't clear at all. If you're here illegally are you "subject to the jurisdiction thereof"? No one knows how SCOTUS will eventually rule on that.

severe penalties to businesses that hire illegals


That won't happen because as much as we like to ignore it, many businesses rely heavily on their labor (and that was even before the wide open border the last four years).

The guy that wrote that portion thought it preposterous that it would be deemed as automatic citizenship.

It's past time to dispense with Plyer which has given every incentive for people to break immigration law. One of the worst decisions of the 1900s which had plenty horrible ones.

Wouldn’t that take a constitutional amendment?



Possibly. I don't know if that issue has fully been decided by the USSC. But that's the underlying reason for the EO...to try to get the issue before the USSC. He knows adverse groups will challenge the EO


IIRC birthright citizenship is based on a SOTUS footnote from a case in the late 1800s concerning a Chinese immigrant and a bastardized interpretation of the Civil War Amendments (specifically the 14th). I forget the details.

The bottom-line "birthright citizenship" has not been fully legally vetted and challenged all the way to SCOTUS as a single issue...just kind of accepted.

We would probably just get a narrow ruling that he doesn’t have the authority to do it. Then we would basically be back to having congress do it and then back up to the SCOTUS.

It's actually from Plyer, which was in 1982. One of many debacles from Justice Brennan.

Good start, but let’s get these things passed into law. That only gets us to the next administration, who can get rid of it.


Representatives have already said that is the plan, but it's not like it's up to Trump to get it through Congress or the Senate. We'll see what they do with it, but getting these ED'S done day 1 is how things are going to be done from now on.

some random judge by the rio grande area is going to put a nationwide injection on this to keep it from going into effect.

Or they will say that he can't stop it with an EO

At some point, I’m sure through some court ruling,the definition of “Natural born citizen” has been altered. In the ‘60’s and ‘70’s I was taught in school it required birth by both parents being “natural born citizens. Birth citizenship was not allowed. Foreigners could become “naturalized” citizens but not natural born citizens . I believe we are one of a handful or less of nations that allow birthright citizenship. The founders were strictly against this as they believed it nurtured dual loyalty. This video is 10 minutes long but the lady spells it out very clearly with documentation.

Didn't the USSC uphold an Obama executive order on 'Dreamers' who are nothing but children of Illegal Immigrants? Its odd how Obama's executive orders seem to be different from others.

Either way there are Constitutional scholars who argue the actual meaning and intent of the way the birthright citizenship is written and think it can be contested. This was something Trump promised in his first term but never did - challenging Birthright Citizenship.

Taking that away is going to significantly reduce Illegal Immigration because many are just coming here to spit out babies on American soil so they will be allowed to stay by proxy. Enough is enough.
