“Birthright citizenship is still the law of the land”

Never mind.

[kabar]

If you truly want to understand birthright citizenship, I suggest you take a look at this excellent overview from the Center for Immigration Studies: Birthright Citizenship in the United States A Global Comparison

Also, 8 U.S. Code § 1401 - Nationals and citizens of United States at birth

This law has been the basis for the issuance of passports as well as granting benefits and entitlements to anyone born on USA soil. You may claim that this was never the intent of the 14th Amendment, but the fact remains that until the law is changed, we will continue to grant citizenship based on jus solis. The Courts will eventually make that determination. Trump's possible Executive Order will force the Courts to make that determination. Depending on the outcome, we will learn whether a Constitutional amendment is needed or not. Or will an EO or law passed by Congress be sufficient.
