Yeah. Got notification of this idiocy at 5am. I don't think he can legally do it through executive order and it will be challenged. It's a constitutional right so can't be "trumped" grin by executive order.
....

Banning foreign nationals from entering the US because of their religions and others is unconstitutional but the scotus said otherwise. Trump had his way and I can bet he will have his way again this time but let's say he doesn't, what happens to those thousands or millions of new born babies that would be affected before the reversal because the legal process might take some time to end?.
Watch this space,if republicans still control the Congress,consider this constitution amendment a done deal.

It definitely can and will get worse because Trump will unfortunately get a second term.

Pence is rumored to actually be worse than Trump if that’s humanly possible. At least towards immigration and civil right.

But I do support this his initiative though.

The child of a citizen and that of a foreigner should never have the same legal right. US is one of the few industrialized country that still does this. It’ll put a quick end to pregnancy tourism by Chinese and others. I’m in full bore support of this.

May be it’ll force impoverished countries like Nigeria to rethink our medical facilities.
....

I support this 100%..it doesn't even make sense to me.
I live and work in the US,my obligations to the US should be spent on my children period!!!.
I love the bolded,let Nigeria elites begin to rework their medical facilities since they have no other choice.dont be surprised if Canada follow suit.

I don't see this is happening anytime soon. It is a very complicated issue for him to dive into at this time.

I think Trump is just saying this to change the healine discussion of the mainstream media which he has eventually succeeded in doing...lol!

I doubt that it will be retroactive.

And what about all those children that were stolen from their parents by HomSec? We can’t find most parents anymore so do they get citizenship?

This is how I feel exactly.

My blood and sweat were poured in this land so that my children can benefit.

Non citizens waltz in across the border to have children and then apply for aid.

They haven’t paid into the system to collect that aid.

Sometimes I understand, not agree with, some of those looney bin racist pigs. They sometimes have a point but they falter Becca they want to throw the baby out with the bath water.

Hmmm...I think it was Jeb Bush that called them "Anchor Babies". The mothers were using them to get benefits, remain on those benefits and at the same time remaining in the US illegally.

Texas tried to decline some of those women who came into the US illegally from getting the automatic citizenship for their babies if those mothers delivered at some location border between Mexico and US. If I'm not mistaken it was struck down somehow by the lower court in Texas.

I whole heatedly disagree with you.

It will create an even more systematic form of oppression.

Knowing the US and it's history with oppressing minority group and others , it this ever happened, the implications will be more severe than civil rights/ housing discrimination issues.

What happens to kids of expatriates that has been on H1b, J, O and other kinds of visas for years?

I welcome your disagreement.

As I’m not a policy maker, it’ll be up to them to iron out the nitty gritty.

From my standpoint children of non citizens should not get citizenship.

There won't be any form of oppression or discrimation whatsoever.A law is a law and it applies to everyone and everybody knows his or her status in the US.
Non immigrants type of visas have their limitations.

It's not rocket science. Other developed countries have work visas temp visas and resident visas and their kids don't get citizenship by birth.
It can be done. Jus soli in other developed countries were mainly stopped for 'birth tourism and anchor babies'

Very true.

People are forgetting two crucial facts.

1) Republicans control Congress and

2) Trump has put in a lot of Judges in various circuits.

Also, this is not a new discussion.

Okay.

However, the current US is on a different mindset from the way it was like 20 years ago.

Even though yes, Trump just happens to be the wrong person to bring this birthright citizen by jus soil to the limelight. I don't see how in anyway, it will ever be addressed talk less of being changed.

Some people have even brought up the argument that the US immigration laws cannot be compared to most European countries because of how it was founded.

I don't see a big deal about it. It shouldn't even be a talking point.

They turned themselves in at the boarder, fingerprinted and their details taken

Asylum claim filed.

Asylum accepted or denied.

Ones denied go back home. Anyone that stayed is violating immigration law. Simple.

People that cross the boarder illegally don't come in a "caravan"

So, why is it a talking point?

I agree with you.

Blacks and Women didn't use to vote but that was corrected. As an example on changes in the US.

The good thing with the constitution is that it's a living book and can be amended.

The true natives have no more say which is sad. I've been here continuously since 1986 and I've never met a family of Indians.

How does that work though?
You can't compare
Where do you house that many people coming pending asylum case approvals? The costs for verifying and vetting cases who bares that? Even deportation (if they ever find them) comes at a cost.
The filing burden nko? The backlogs for USCIS and NVC are bad enough.

People are organising themselves via whatsapp groups and Facebook, so this is just the beginning it's a very erious matter that will soon become a security and healthcare burden for the countries in between.

They find it very easy to find places to incarcerate minorities and displaced immigrant children they separated from their parents. They make quite a lot of money doing it actually. So yeah, I think they can figure out where to put 3,500 people temporarily.

Kind of like the argument of where to find money for special programs. The same place they find money for that massive war mongering budget whose well never seems to run dry.
