This morning's New York Post devoted an entire op-ed page to two articles taking opposite tacks on ending birthright citizenship. This is the article opposing the president and supporting birthright citizenship. I will post the opposing one in a few minutes, if I don't get waylaid by trick or treaters.

Lock him up.

Seems like he’s trying to muddle what Trump said.

.
Insanity!

The 14th amendment already has prohibited birthright citizenship.

Why is Trump suddenly losing his courage?

All he has to do is enforce what is already law.

..gawd I am sick of people writing ignoramous type articles like this

“this constitutional beacon”???? automatic anchor baby citizenship?

he’s gotta be kidding!

the authors of the 14th amendment worked very carefully to protect against any such thing! there is NOTHING in the constitution that requires such automatic citizenship for “anchor babies” further, the language and history of the clause are crystal clear that citizenship for babies born in USA of foreign citizens or subjects.... are NOT NOT NOT included

these writers just keep repeating their ignorant, false assertions ..over and over again... instead of checking the law and history first

“...Dead Wrong....”?

Now where have I heard this before? If they keep repeating that well worn out refrain long enough they may just one day in the far distant future just might be right. But I kind of doubt it. Personally I thought it was a stroke of political chess playing genius on how to get the issue before the USSC in a fast tracking manner while at the same time rubbing it all in the face of Congress for their failure or refusal to do the job themselves.

Seth Lipsky could be more wrong if he was intentionally trying to be wrong.

“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.”

“and subject to the jurisdiction thereof”

Makes one wonder, that if just anyone born inside the United States was a citizen automatically, why that phrase was inserted.

Or, why did it take 100 years for the real meaning to be ferreted out.

Similar to the “shall not be infringed” mystery phrase in the 2nd Amendment.

It’s one of the things, after all, that got President Barack Obama into trouble.

Yeah, Obama really suffered greatly when he got in that trouble. You're an idiot sir.

Another East Coast Fake American telling Americans how to run their country.

Hasn’t there been enough damage done by the Immigration Act of 1965?

Does Mr Lipsky tell Israel to open its borders to allcomers, or does he view the rights of American citizens somehow fundamentally different from Israeli citizens?

That principle holds that people are innately valuable. More people create more wealth and are in themselves good. Our major religions believe this. As do our greatest economists.
