Yes, that is the truth and what their constitutional says according to my knowledge and I don't think any individual can just wake up one day and be sending some useless executive order to stop it.

That executive order will be reverse in 4 years time and will be nail to the coffin never to happen again and if by chance democrat return to power which is likely going to happen it is to unfortunate to tell Trump he might live the rest of life in detention.

Every land is made up of immigrants. In the early stages of humanity, people migrated to various lands to form clans.

Now because we all came to our present environment through immigration at one point of our existence,does it mean we throw the gates open allow people move in and out without proper vetting?. Does it mean anyone can just claim to be part of us, understanding our culture,values and struggles just cuz they were born on the land?
American constitution says if you were born there you are American. Nigerian constitution does not say so.

A white man was born in Nigeria, would we consider him Nigerian? That's what someone who has Australian Parents but was born in Nigeria posted on Quora.

Hugo Wallace Weaving AO is a British-Australian actor. He was born in Nigeria, do we consider him Nigerian.

Can he hold public office here in Nigeria if he proves that by birth he is Nigerian.

America dey try sef, dey allow immigrants who was born on their land to hold public office. Naija no go gree
If he is born in Nigeria, he is a Nigerian.
He can hold a public office if he so desire, he can enjoy all right and privileges' Nigerians enjoy (and even more) if he desires, he only need to show interest and work for it like other Nigerians.
He can even contest to be president.

Since your head is working anti-clockwise, I will inform you. Dump Donald Trump grandfather is an immigrant, so also is his Olosho mother. But the serial rapist is now US President. If you are thinking at all, you should answer your own question

I agree with you ,the constitution should be changed.

I am not an American and I think every country should do what is best for them . Me personally,I am not in support of citizenship by birth. For me, one of your parents has to be a citizen for you to qualify as such through birth

There are others ways to obtain citizenship tho
Should the constitution be changed for guns too?

Trump isn't against immigrants, he's only against illegal immigrants using this as loophole to get automatic citizenship for their wards.
Illegal immigrants are a threat to a functional system.
Na why person go get mind begin stab stab people anyhow. If you want to become an American citizen, follow the legal route.

American is exceptionally different in that it's an immigrant country with different nationalities from majorly European countries coming together to form American.

It is a heterogeneous country unlike Nigeria that has large homogeneous regions forcefully fused together to form a country.

Like I said, if that be the case people like Trump whose grandfather was a German citizen lack the locus standi to stop other immigrants like him from benefiting from birth right law.

His grandfather was never part of the struggles of American war of liberation nor civil war but a mere beneficiary of the birth righ law that made Trump father and Trump himself a citizen.

Your postulation doesn't stand in his defense.
Keyword “illegal" immigrants. Was Trump's grandad an ILLEGAL immigrant?

Also, how can I come to your country with no plans of staying in your country and contribute to its development but only to give birth and disappear back to my country with my child who now has your citizenship but does not live in your country, does not understand your (value) systems and does not contribute to your country's development but uses your citizenship to get access to and protection from lots of things?

They enjoy the dignity that comes with your citizenship and also have access to your country and can even commit crime against your country.

Trump's grandad lived in America, contributed to America and he did it legally.
USA is saying if you want to be a citizen then you should migrate legally. And when you're a citizen, you can birth a citizen. Simple.

If Hugo Wallace was born in Nigeria, he is a Nigerian. He is entitled to Nigeria 🇳🇬 passport irrespective of the colour of his skin or origin of his parents.
He can become president of Nigeria.

Some of my childhood friends from India, Lebanon, Germany , Palestine and France. They were all born in Nigeria. Some of them are using Nigerian passport...... especially the Lebanese and Indians.....

That will remain until the constitution is amended.

You cannot take away birth right citizenship without amending the constitution.

The strength of America today is the diversity and immigrants.

Is that not why people like Trump and Obama could dream and become Presidents?

Are you saying these aforementioned names don't have passion for American despite the fact they are never native Americans?

We have to admit it is indeed an immigrant country and that is what made them what they are today.

Somebody who is a beneficiary of such law can't wake up and change the whole thing in a day. Besides, I don't know if his executive order override the constitution.

We will see about that.
Was Trump father an illegal immigrant

The US doesn't joke with all the Amendments. Its a constitutional Right that no judge or executive can trample upon .
Granting citizenship to those born in the US is in the 14th amendment. It'll take another amendment to erase it and that's no easy fit.
To the best of knowledge , the last amendment was in 1997

No excuses here bro.
If those people went through the already tough US immigration process, then people who actually have good intentions will benefit from it. You casually let a serial robber and murderer roam freely in your country cos it's land of the free and expect him to take a decent job lmao. You didn't see the video where MS13 gang members were arrested too ba.
See what happened in Germany the other day. Shebi they blamed it on mental health problems.

Bro forget long talk. Ok I accept America is an immigrant country built by immigrants and as such should open it's borders freely to all migrants so as not to discriminate against migrants

Open the Mexico boarder for just one week let the migrants (the class of people who built the American economy) troop in. In no time,the ones that had been residing in America will start running for their lives to Canada.

The fact they're(America) is a migrant country does not mean they can continue accepting just about anybody and everybody. It had some positives in the past,it won't continue. There's a point it will get to it will start having serious negative impact. It's a common and natural law.
The case of allowing even into American is different from the privilege of become a citizen by birth.

Please get that right. I am of the opinion that strict immigration measures be taken against illegal immigrants. That I am never against.
