BREAKING: ACLU Files Lawsuit Just Hours After Trump Signed Executive Order Addressing Birthright Citizenship
Gateway Pundit ^ | January 21, 2025 | Cassandra MacDonald

Posted on 01/21/2025 7:58:22 AM PST by Macho MAGA Man

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship.

The lawsuit was filed in New Hampshire on Monday evening, just hours after the executive order was signed.

Under Trump’s order, a baby born in the United States will not have automatic citizenship unless one of the parents is a citizen or green card holder.

.....Snip .....

The ACLU argues that the order violates the 14th Amendment and the Administrative Procedures Act.

“Denying citizenship to U.S.-born children is not only unconstitutional — it’s also a reckless and ruthless repudiation of American values. Birthright citizenship is part of what makes the United States the strong and dynamic nation that it is.

This order seeks to repeat one of the gravest errors in American history, by creating a permanent subclass of people born in the U.S. who are denied full rights as Americans,”

From the ACLU: (This order seeks to repeat one of the gravest errors in American history, by creating a permanent subclass of people born in the U.S.)

Hogwash! Their third world parents were already subclass people in the first place. They were never meant to be U.S. citizens according to our founders who created the 1790 Naturalization Act which states:

(The Naturalization Act of 1790 (1 Stat. 103, enacted March 26, 1790) was a law of the United States Congress that set the first uniform rules for the granting of United States citizenship by naturalization. The law limited naturalization to "free white person(s) ... of good character", thus excluding Native Americans, indentured servants, enslaved people, free Africans, Pacific Islanders, and Asians.)

Pat Buchanan promised to end birthright citizenship during his 1992 campaign. He said it was never Constitutionally challenged or upheld. He would challenge it.

He also acknowledged that the Supreme Court would likely have the final say.

Which is what will likely now happen.

The 14th amendment was to confer citizenship to slaves NOT ILLEGAL ALIENS

Remember this!
“Every Person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.”

Senator Jacob Howard,
co-author of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment, 1866.

Hopefully this can quickly go to SCOTUS, would have been headed there anyway. And hopefully Barret and Roberts don’t betray us like always, but I’d say the odds are 70/30 of betrayal.

Pat Buchanan is a great conservative. Do you have a problem with someone who’s pro-White?

Not a surprise. Not to me anyway.

Can this/should this go straight to the Supreme Court where it will end up anyway?

My own position is that children born in the United States become citizens at birth only if their parents (plural) are in the U.S. legally. Children of illegal immigrants do not become citizens.

not at all.....i have the same problems with Buchachan as Trump has with him.

If he is such a “great” conservative, then why isn’t a member of the MAGA team?
A: because Trump knows he’s rotten inside
