Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump has released his specific plan for immigration reform.
In the 6-page report titled "Immigration Reform That Will Make America Great Again," Trump is calling for an end to birthright citizenship, saying it "remains the biggest magnet for illegal immigration."

Can’t end birthright citizenship without a Constitutional Amendment and that ain’t happening
__________________________________________
birthright citizenship is not for illegal aliens..
there is no Constitutional right to it..
the 14th Amendment was meant only for the black slaves and their children..
and that bit about “under the jurisdiction” also proves that illegal aliens are not entitled to claim American citizen birth under that Amendment...the illegal aliens are intentionally breaking the law and are not under the jurisdiction of any part of the Constitution that they can claim as a qualifying reason for their anchor babies to be granted American citizenship..
also consider, if under the Constitution the children born here of foreign diplomats, who are invited guests with permission to enter and stay awhile, are denied citizenship, why on Earth would illegal aliens who are here without prior permission and have no respect for us or our country, gain such a high honor ???
Claiming American citizenship for their anchor babies by illegal aliens didn’t originate with a Constitutional Amendment and none is needed to halt the illegal practice and to strip the former recipients of the status..
if instead of receiving food stamps, welfare, free schooling free medical etc the illegal alien parents had o immediately start paying taxes, or a large fine for trespassing (or be jailed) before they could take the baby from the hospital, how many would be willing to come here to have their children ???
So you’re against Trump so much, that you oppose the most sensible policy goals on immigration that any candidate has offered? Wow, THATs real hatred!
This is actual “comprehensive” immigration reform I can agree with.
Don’t think the courts would go along with ending birthright citizenship, but if we keep people from pouring in here illegally that part may largely solve itself.
I know this is only a slight bit of anecdotal evidence but two of my friends e-mailed me this story link from ABC with the message “It’s about time”. They’re both longtime Democrats and fellow Catholics at our parish. A number of my fellow churchgoers, who are Democrats, are excited about Trump. I myself don’t trust the man, but that said, I think the Democratic Party better wake the hell up and realize not all their rank and file voters are extreme lefties like the party establishment. A guy like Trump is going to appeal to a good number of them especially the blue collar voters in the midwest and parts of the industrial northeast like Pennsylvania. Gonna be an interesting 2016 election cycle to be sure.
Notice how the Trump haters on this forum are now becoming opponents of building a wall, deporting, etc, because “it can’t be done”? They will start making the case for Hillary, next
Trump goes Boom!
Easy...if you’re born here....of an illegal...you are not a citizen. Don’t think it takes a constitutional amendment.
Only Trump has said the words deport them all or even just the word deport.
The other politicians haven’t even said the word deport because they are all owned by big donors and lobbyists
ditto for talk against China, Mexico,Saudi Arabia etc.
B. S.
The 14th Amendment NEVER granted citizenship to people here illegally. Those people are wards of a foreign nation, not the United States. Their children ARE NOT citizens.
Game up on your Constitution.
Don’t waster your breath or good bandwidth on anti-Trump-bots. Haters gotta hate
He fills in for Nick in threads like this. Posts the same crap ad nausem.
having a change of heart yet?
Bumping your post. Very true which is a US government failure.
Posters can read all about t the issue here...
"American Jackpot: The Remaking of America by Birthright Citizenship"
The 14th amendment is key to understanding how America/United States works.
America is still and always will be a Republic.
The United States is a legislative democracy.
Were you or anyone you know born “SUBJECT to the jurisdiction of the United States”?
If you were, and you are happy, then so be it!
“Can’t end birthright citizenship without a Constitutional Amendment and that ain’t happening.”
The 14th Amendment doesn’t give foreigners the right to have anchor babies.
Are they paid bots?
In 1890s Chinese nationals who had children in the USA were NOT given Citizenship—even after the 13th Amendment was passed it was deemed that the amendment was only for Blacks.
