Trump 'wants to END birthright citizenship before he leaves office': President could strip immigration rights from US-born babies as administration pushes bold policies in his final weeks
UK Daily Mail ^ | November 21 2020 | ANDREW COURT

Posted on 11/20/2020 11:46:10 PM PST by knighthawk

President Trump is reportedly considering signing an executive order ending birthright citizenship before he leaves the Oval Office.

On Friday, various sources told The Hill that members of the Trump Administration have been discussing the issue with increasing frequency. They are hoping to push the President into taking action before Joe Biden is sworn in on January 20.

Under current law, all babies born in United States are automatically granted citizenship, regardless of whether or not their parents are American. An executive order signed by President Trump would likely put an end to such legal protections.

If the coup succeeds, any laws passed will have little meaning to the new regime

If he had run on this, the fraud coup would have had a harder time

Bah! Daily Mail can bite it.

They’re making a story and drama, unless they believe Trump is staying.

EO’s are pretty much sand castles, washed away so easily.

I stopped TDM UK the day after elections, when they filled their whole front page with mostly lies.

I would like the UK to take back that redheaded, kitty cat whooped, wuss.

Agitators, all of them.

Obama’s DOCA EO seems to be made of granite.

Birthright citizenship is essentially the “soil” part of the “blood and soil” argument the liberals claim to hate so much.

Citizenship should follow the parents, not the country you were crapped out on.....

Touché

Obama was on the right trajectory, Trump, not so much.

I wish Trump would smash Nixon’s EPA EO, I love clean air and clean water, but not communism, and that’s just the door that the EPA cracks open.

Most of the younger people don’t see the double edged sword, they only see the sword swinging one way, and that’s slaying their monsters.

Monsters they’ve been raised on- cartoons, games, school, etc.

I shudder at the thought that you seem to have met them. As bad as Lefties are at a distance, up close, they are ususally much worse.

They dont follow any laws or rules unless it benefits them, If they can steal an election they can do what ever they want. Just think we will be paying taxes to a regime that is corrupt AND illegitimate

So, you prefer that illegal aliens be permitted to stay here IF they came here as children (<5 years old for argument’s sake).

And you think Trump is wrong about ending special consideration for these young adults, even if they can’t document how long they have been in the US as Obama did.

Re: "Obama's DACA EO seems to be made of granite."

Only if you are Donald Trump.

The first two judges who reviewed Trump's "end DACA" Executive Order said that Trump could write a new DACA policy any time he wanted to.

Specifically - Trump could have declared all DACAs to be unlawfully present in the USA, and then order the Secretary of Homeland Security to remove them.

Since that E.O. would be a direct quote from the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (passed by Congress over a Truman veto), a federal court could not even review that E.O. (according to the exact language in the Administrative Procedure Act).

The final judge who reviewed the "end DACA" E.O. asked Trump what difference it made since Trump had already publicly declared - on several occasions - that he (Trump) would not deport any DACAs unless they were dangerous criminals.

From beginning to end, Trump's "end DACA" E.O. was just political theater.

“...Under current law...”

That’s a lie. What part of “and under the jurisdiction of” do they not understand. Tourist who come here are not under U.S. jurisdiction. They are foreign nationals, the same as illegals and anchor babies.

Trump should make this law 100 years retroactive. Deport all of them, including the grandparents.

Trump won in a landslide anyway - its hard to see how this law would have given him even more votes.

The Democrat Fraud was incredibly clumsy - because they believed their own rhetoric and didn’t realise just how popular DJT is.

Now they are going to lose everything.

It's not a law, it's an executive order. And if Biden is the winner then he could revoke it on day one of his administration.
