Trump says Paul Ryan knows NOTHING about birthright citizenship and tells GOP speaker to 'focus on holding the majority' instead of slapping down president
President said he wants to sign an executive order ending birthright citizenship
Trump said the current policy is 'ridiculous. It's ridiculous. And it has to end'
On Wednesday he claimed the Constitution's 14th Amendment has limits
Trump noted that it applies to people 'subject to the jurisdiction' of the U.S., implying that illegal immigrants don't qualify
VP Mike Pence says the Supreme Court has been silent on how the Fourteenth Amendment relates to illegal immigrants
But House Speaker Paul Ryan insisted Trump can't make a change without Congress or a new constitutional amendment
Trump said: 'Ryan should be focusing on holding the Majority rather than giving his opinions on Birthright Citizenship, something he knows nothing about!'

Let’s see...how many times did the GOPE Congress tell Obama “You can’t do that with an EO - It is unconstitutional to even think about it.”?
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
"subject to the jurisdiction thereof..."
The treasonists will say that everyone in the country legally or not is "subject to the jurisdiction", for example if an illegal murders on US soil the US will prosecute the illegal. But that's not why it's in there. They were referring to slaves who were already here legally and pointing out that there are people "not subject to the jurisdiction" meaning FOREIGNERS. They are explicitly referring to foreigners and all this time we were granting citizenship to babies born to foreigners completely violating this amendment.
I hope Trump gives Ryan a couple of shots tonight at his rally.
Just like with "immigrants" vs "illegal aliens", those who support place of birth regardless of immigration status as a Constitutionally sanctioned path to citizenship attempt to confuse the issue (i.e., "clarification" vs "amendment").
And they'd be wrong. If they aren't under our jurisdiction how is it do you think we detain them and apply our laws to them? I hate to tell you, but that's our jurisdiction at work.
Read his responses. Trump is clearly looking to dump birthright citizenship. In his words, “One way or another it will be ended”
If your sister has her baby born inside Paul Ryan’s 10 foot walls around his compound, Ryan is obligated to support that baby for 20 years.
ZERO.
I HATE HATE HATE that we have to vote for Rs we don’t like so we can get the SCOTUS picks we need and because the worst R is still better than the best D.
Now is not the time to vote conscience or make a statement.
BUT WHEN IS?!?!
ROFLMAO
Maybe illegals will believe it if we post it in enough places.
That would be a sight!! :)
QUESTION: Haven’t the Sanctuary cities proven Trumps’ order?
By not arresting illegals haven’t they proven these peoples are not under our Jurisdiction?
Trump rocks.
I’ve said it before. Even though I’m a fellow NYer and worked down the block from him (we didn’t do lunch!) I thought he was at BEST a RINO.
This guy’s hardcore conservative.
And hardcore American.
The Great One would have LOVED this guy.
Imho, president Trump is in Reagan territory.
Not tired of winning.

The 14th Amendment says “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States”, which was intended to exclude foreigners and their children. Foreign parents are under the jurisdiction of another government, not the US.
(That’s what distinguishes them as foreigners.) Most governments extend their jurisdiction to the children of their citizens, thus, the children should not qualify for US citizenship.
Ryan knows nothing - Period. He is a communists Democrat.
Have you visited the Reagan Library yet?
The similarities between Reagan and Trump are astounding.
The Founding Fathers, ya' know, those Old Dead Heterosexual White Men, took pains to to make it crystal clear exactly what they meant so that only a fool could misinterpert their intent.
This is, of course why some politicians, lawyers, judges and all demonrats have so much trouble with the Constitution.
"The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be abridged."
What could they possibly mean?
His executive order will not stand. This needs to be settled by the Supreme Court. Trump knows that, and is getting the ball rolling.
No, not yet.
I’m sure you are correct.

Even the author of the Amendment said it should not apply to foreigners. So Paul you are an idiot.
Wouldn’t it be best not to tangle with PRyan before Nov. 7?
