Donald Trump laid out some details of his immigration plan in an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press" this weekend.
Trump, who has been criticized in recent weeks for failing to give particulars on his immigration promises, said he will rescind President Obama's executive orders and end birthright citizenship.
As part of it, Trump said he wants to rescind President Obama's executive orders on immigration; deport many of those in the U.S. illegally while providing an expedited return process for "the good ones;" and do away with automatic citizenship for children of illegal immigrants born on U.S. soil.
The Trump campaign said the policy, known as birthright citizenship, is the "biggest magnet" for illegal immigration.
"They have to go," Trump said on NBC's "Meet the Press," of families living in the U.S. illegally and having a child, adding: "What they're doing, they're having a baby. And then all of a sudden, nobody knows ... the baby's here."
Judge Andrew Napolitano explained this morning on "America's Newsroom" what Trump can and cannot do on immigration. He said that Trump's promise to deport children born in America to illegal immigrant mothers is "prohibited by the Constitution."
"The Constitution says very clearly, whoever is born here - no matter the intent of the parent - is a natural-born citizen. He could not change that. Even if he were to change the Constitution, it would not affect people who had already been born here. It would only affect people not yet born here," said Napolitano.
He added that any president can rescind an executive order of a predecessor. But the judge pointed out that every undocumented immigrant that Trump intends to deport would be entitled to a hearing and an appeal.

well ok.. next
Well that hasn’t slowed Obozo down, and the courts and Congress have rolled out the red carpet for him to break the Constitution.
Yep, can’t be done, don’t even try, we’ll flood the courts, you won’t get anything done, can’t be done, don’t try...
Alright, got the message. Now let’s try.
Well here’s an answer:
Deport the illegal parents, place the anchor babies for adoption with *American* families who are willing to raise the political orphans as their own.
The illegal parents don’t like that?
They can always take the kid home to Mexico with ‘em.
The judge is wrong.
L
The constitution has not bothered Dorkbama the Muslim...nor any judges thus far.
Why think it will when Trump is president?
AMEND THE CONSTITUTION !
Repeal the 14th
Exactly, since when did those in power get worried about anything being constitutional?
retroactively , 25 years
They got here by a president’s disregard for the rule of law-who cares if they get ejected by the same device?
Your post is exactly how I would do it...
Watch them ‘run’ back to Mexico, even from ‘Mexicali’
So an illegal can confer American citizen on another illegal?
Exactly. The 1965 Immigrant Rights Law would have to repealed to end the birthright provision.
Much of what Trump calls for will have to pass through Congress.
Amen to that!!
So is Obamacare.
And yet...
Anyway, all we need to do is to de-incentivize the illegals, and at least a good many will self-deport. There must be at least a thousand ways to de-incentivize them, considering all the gibmes and priviliges they’re getting now.
The judge is saying birthright citizenship can’t be rescinded retroactively. It can be taken away prospectively, though. And many deported illegals would presumably bring their minor children home with them rather than subject them to the foster care system or whatever government institutions care for them.
Want to talk about illegal? Let’s start with this administration from 2008 and move forward.
Will TRUMP change the Constitution -OR- Ignore it..
You know like Obama.. and will Congress be his “BITCHS” like with Obama?..
Makes you go....... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
