Speaker Ryan: ‘You cannot end birthright citizenship with an executive order’
House Speaker Paul Ryan on Tuesday broke with President Donald Trump on whether an executive order could deny a constitutional guarantee of citizenship to babies born in the U.S. to noncitizen parents.

Indeed.
All aliens present in this country are subject to the jurisdiction of our laws and courts. But they are also subject to the jurisdiction of the laws of the country of their citizenship.

One cannot be subject to jurisdiction
if one is illegal. They are subject to

which they are citizens.
Doing with the 14th Amendment that anti-gun folks do with the 2nd...only for totally different reasons....
Perfect but it will never happen so long as RINOs like Paul RINO and others are in office
But you can end your political career for taking idiotic policy stances.
