You are basically saying that hers or anyone else’s citizenship can be retroactively revoked.

Never gonna happen.

Why? Unconstitutional.

It might be possible to end it (birthright citizenship) going forward from here on, but to say that they (her, or those born to illegals even 50 years ago or 5 minutes ago)never possessed citizenship in the first place is fantasy.

In theory, but not in practice. Americans would never stomach it, even though they have the legal right to do such a thing.

It is fantasy to think you can successfully revoke it, but it is not fantasy to point out that it was always illegitimate.
