I can understand wanting to limit illegal immigrants from crossing the border, but this is taking it WAY too far.

Im undecided on this issue honestly. From what I know most countries dont have a system like this and being born in a country doesnt make you a citizen of that nation unless you were born to parents who are citizens.
Im not sure what the benefits are of the way we have it currently. --- If they drag you through the mud, it doesnt change whats in your blood ... Copied to Clipboard!

I was ironically reading about this just the other day, based on a completely unrelated discussion about dual citizenship.
At the time my reaction was basically along the lines of, "Hmm, why DO we still do things this way? It seems like there are a lot of better ways to handle citizenship that wouldn't constantly encourage birth tourism." The interesting part is that most nations in the Americas have policy along these lines, while very few nations in Africa or Eurasia do. Which implies it's probably a mindset strongly influenced by colonialism. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard!

Trump is probably just saying it to pump up the xenophobic people in his base. As long as he says it if it never happens he can blame the deep state.

Ban birth tourism entirely, and Trump also needs to ban H-1B as well, it's long overdue. I'm afraid just ending birthright citizenship might affect actual citizens.

I think it is an interesting concept. But I think in practice it would have the opposite effect of what right wingers want. Most Americans can't pass a citizenship test while most immigrants do. It would also mean children would need to work to become citizens and if the child is handicapped that could cause issues. Or if a student is home schooled or goes to a poor school they may not be learning all the right stuff. So many poor and disabled people would be left without a country. And schools in general would be a toss up on if the kids can even go.

I don't agree with birthright citizenship under all circumstances. Just hopping the border and pushing out a kid is a scam and unfair to people who follow the rules. Unless you enter the country legally (even just on a tourist visa, etc.), it shouldn't count. Refugee babies would still count because that is a legal entry...

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. One could argue illegals aren't subject to our jurisdiction, so the amendment wouldn't apply to them.
