Trump ....saying that he would push to end the constitutionally protected right of any family living illegally inside the U.S.
__________________________________________

No he didn’t...

Illegal aliens living inside the US have no Constitutionally protected right to citizenship for their anchor babies or anything else..

Trump doesn’t have to end something that doesn’t exist other than in the mind of this ignoramus author...

So are you saying the US Supreme Court would support a law overturning birthright citizenship? Because until you can get the Supreme Court to do that then we are stuck with the current interpretation. As of now this is the law “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.” With some exceptions in case law for diplomats and such, the US Supreme Court continues to support birthright citizenship. So yes, you’d either need a constitutional amendment (ain’t gonna happen) or better judges. Probably better to go the latter route.
