As the title says -
If birthright citizenship is unconstitutional. Will that make EVERYONE born here not a citizen? Or do we all have to re-apply for our citizenship?
Are we going back to the 1800s where ONLY "Citizens" can vote?
I think they're going sideways to take away the right to vote in the next elections.
The goal of regressive policy proponents in any jurisdiction has always been to dismantle the rights and freedoms of anyone besides those they deemed worthy.
The 14th Amendment is unambiguous on who qualifies for citizenship at birth, the only people who are saying it is open to interpretation want to bring slavery back on a larger scale than the prison industrial complex where it's already common.
It’s funny because no one can be illegal on stolen land but lemme stop while I’m ahead
No birthright citizenship is what you have when you were born in the US to parents that immigrated there illegally.
The parents are illegal but their children have “birthright citizenship” because they were born in the US like a US citizen and they can’t control the fact their parents weren’t. But Trump thinks that’s unconstitutional so he’s deporting those that were born in the US but to illegal parents. If you were born in the US and your parents came here legally then you don’t have to worry
Born where?
Bro thought he was cooking with this...
You know you can easily get this answer if you read the executive order right. It’s like 2 sentences
No, the proposal is to take effect 30 days after it was issued (01/20/2025). It restricts automatic U.S. citizenship for children born in the U.S. if neither parent is a citizen or lawful permanent resident and one parent is unlawfully or temporarily present. So basically one or both parents have to be a citizen or a lawful permanent resident… can’t be unlawfully present. For example stuff like birth tourism happens when a mom visits the US as a tourist intentionally to give birth to their baby so that the baby will have citizenship; they usually try to stop that at immigration but they don’t always succeed/know the mother is pregnant. I know of a case where a celebrity in another country did this.
Does anyone miss the days where every subreddit wasn’t ruined by politics? Hmm where should I post this? OH R/Tiktok! Of course
This is to stop all those people who come here on a tourist visa 9 months pregnant and declare "haha I win" when they pop out a kid. Same situation for the ones that creep across the border in the same fashion. Should have been done 100 years ago.
Birthright citizenship only applies if your parents are immigrants.
It doesn't mean literally everyone born in the U.S. is no longer a citizen lmao.
