Donald Trump laid out some details of his immigration plan in an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press" this weekend.
Trump, who has been criticized in recent weeks for failing to give particulars on his immigration promises, said he will rescind President Obama's executive orders and end birthright citizenship.
As part of it, Trump said he wants to rescind President Obama's executive orders on immigration; deport many of those in the U.S. illegally while providing an expedited return process for "the good ones;" and do away with automatic citizenship for children of illegal immigrants born on U.S. soil.
The Trump campaign said the policy, known as birthright citizenship, is the "biggest magnet" for illegal immigration.
"They have to go," Trump said on NBC's "Meet the Press," of families living in the U.S. illegally and having a child, adding: "What they're doing, they're having a baby. And then all of a sudden, nobody knows ... the baby's here."
Judge Andrew Napolitano explained this morning on "America's Newsroom" what Trump can and cannot do on immigration. He said that Trump's promise to deport children born in America to illegal immigrant mothers is "prohibited by the Constitution."
"The Constitution says very clearly, whoever is born here - no matter the intent of the parent - is a natural-born citizen. He could not change that. Even if he were to change the Constitution, it would not affect people who had already been born here. It would only affect people not yet born here," said Napolitano.
He added that any president can rescind an executive order of a predecessor. But the judge pointed out that every undocumented immigrant that Trump intends to deport would be entitled to a hearing and an appeal.

I’m in Atlanta, and it’s that way again here. I agree, ship them back. Would be wonderful.
“Trump hasnt presented his proposals any more as done by the wave of the wand than any other presidential candidate.”
Wait now... isn’t the big mantra about Trump that he’s different — the man of action? He stated HE was going all this happen. The point is.. some reality is in order with all that bravado.
They all say they’re gonna shake up Washington or somehow or other get things done.
I take it you’re just a Cruz supporter who is bothered by Trump’s big lead in the polls.
But your pettiness and inconsistency, insofar as Trump is concerned, is showing.
And I’m in support of everything in Trump’s immigration manifesto.. but much of it won’t come to pass, considering he would need a minimum of 60 votes in the Senate to to get it moving. That said, it’s a good policy statement nonetheless.
We are in Gwinnett so illegal central. We have a pack of them living in a rental next door. Its like a reproduction of the barrio in their backyard. We won’t be here much longer but we will be giving our house away. Or maybe we can sell it to their cousin. LOL!
“I take it youre just a Cruz supporter who is bothered by Trumps big lead in the polls.

And there it is... the inevitable personal attack. Thanks for confirming my theory on the similarity between the adoration for Trump in 2015 and the Obamalove phenomenon in 2008. The parallels are striking.
I’m sorry to hear about your situation. Im in a really good neighborhood ITP, but with an illegal next door. He’s a drug dealer, got convicted and sentenced to a good amount of years, but only served a few months for some reason. They are nightmares to live next to and bring ALOT of illegals into the hood.
Five posts in and a wise FReeper has provided the solution.
BTTT!
Thank you FRiend!
We live on a nice street and then there’s the barrio next door. The house went into forclosure and an investor bought it and moved El Salvador in. We thought about buying it but passed and now we are kicking ourselves.
Just seize the ba$$turds and dump em across the border, by the millions. To hell with this interpretation.
It’s written in plain English. I don’t need some lawyer to tell me the plain meanings of words.

These #cuckservatives have been lying through their teeth to us for almost ten years.
Good information.
Since when has that ever stopped the POS in the white home now?
“Generally like Napolitano but...hes totally wrong.”
No doubt Regulator. Sad to see Napolitano so incoherent in the issue.
Here is the Wong Kim Ark decision:
“The evident intention, and the necessary effect, of the submission of this case to the decision of the court upon the facts agreed by the parties were to present for determination the single question stated at the beginning of this opinion, namely, whether a child born in the United
States, of parent of Chinese descent, who, at the time of his birth, are subjects of the Emperor of China, but have a permanent domicil and residence in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China,
becomes at the time of his birth a CITIZEN of the United States. For the reasons above stated, this court is of opinion that the question must be answered in the affirmative.”
Wong Kim was made a citizen, not a natural born citizen.
The Wong Kim Ark decision was constructed entirely upon the 14th Amendment, which implied by this one of many comments from Justice Gray’s decision:
“The Fourteenth Amendment, while it leaves the power where it was before, in Congress, to regulate naturalization, has conferred no authority upon Congress to restrict the effect of birth, declared by the Constitution to constitute a sufficient and complete right to citizenship.”
Finally, the 14th Amendment, in the words of its original author, Ohio Congressman and former Judge Advocate of the trial of the Lincoln assassins, John Bingham, from the Congressional Globe (Record) addressing Congress while promoting the 14th Amendment:
“I find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen .”
“...the jurisdiction of the U.S. of parents not owing allegiance to ...’” How can a judge, Napolitano, ignore the written intent by its authors of the laws he is interpreting? As usual, read original sources, but try to insure that those sources have not been edited. Neither the 14th Amendment nor Wong Kim Ark have anything to do with natural born citizenship. The reason for Napolitano’s confusion may be the subtlety of citizenship BY birth and naturalization AT birth, the latter being the result of passage of the 14th Amendment. A naturalized citizen is a naturalized citizen, whether naturalized at birth or as a senior citizen. Citizen at birth is being conflated with naturalized citizen by those with an agenda. As Judge Bingham explained, it is all about allegiance and the natural allegiance passed from parents to a child. Natural citizens and naturalized citizens will always have that difference, whether or not they are born on our soil.
It would be nice to get the 60 in the senate and the Presidency. Then steamroll the dems like they did the republicans.
I think we need 6 or so Senators.
Thanks...
Nap also thinks there is constitutionality in homosexual marriage and anything else homo related.
“It would be nice to get the 60 in the senate and the Presidency. Then steamroll the dems like they did the republicans.

With Kirk (IL) and Johnson (WI) facing extremely difficult reelection prospects, we’ll likely need eight.
