WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that his administration was seriously looking at ending the right of citizenship for U.S.-born children of noncitizens and people who immigrated to the United States illegally. “We’re looking at that very seriously, birthright citizenship, where you have a baby on our land, you walk over the border, have a baby - congratulations, the baby is now a U.S. citizen. ... It’s frankly ridiculous,” Trump told reporters outside the White House. Trump has made cracking down on immigration a central plank of his presidency and re-election campaign, but many of the administration’s sweeping rule changes and executive orders have been stymied by the courts.

Wish him all the luck. But an amendment to the Constitution is the only way around birth right citizenship.

In successfully doing this one thing, President Trump will be saving generations of US citizens untold misery.

Good, this is one of the biggest reasons for illegal immigration. It’s never been settled that the 14th Amendment grants them citizenship.
To: Monrose72
Uh, we need a Constitutional Amendment...or a USSC to rule against stare decisis.
This is not a change the Executive can make.
And it would be a precedent that no lover of liberty would want to see.

He has no power to change this, other than asking Congress to propose a constitutional amendment.

YES! This has been needed for some time now. Also, major bonus of watching snowflakes heads explode when this comes through.

But an amendment to the Constitution is the only way around birth right citizenship.It's in the constitution? I would think a simple law would take care of this.

It is ridiculous.
What’s even more ridiculous is believing the children of foreigners can be natural born citizens, eligible to be President.
