Starzo:this issue is based the rule of law, not on morality or feelings. American constitution says "if you are born in America, you are a citizen". Trump cannot overnight change the constitution to whatever he likes. He has no right to do that. That's why the court is able to block any of his orders. |

Very correct! Even a Yoruba or Hausa man born in Kano would find it difficult to hold state public office in Kano, regardless of the fact he was actually born in Kano and can speak the local language very fluently Ok Natbrowny: |

Natbrowny:Nigeria also practices citizenship by birthright! That’s why you have people of different skin colors, races and religion, born in Nigeria by immigrants and rightfully claim Nigerian citizenship. The famous Chagouris are the clearest examples. There are uncountable examples of Europeans, Asians, Americans and other Africans who hold Nigerian citizenships and passports. Trump simply wants to protect his country, seeing what immigrants have done in the recent times. We cannot blame him for that. Unfortunately he cannot, as the constitution would have to be amended to enable him. If the opportunity presents itself, surely they can contest elective offices. By the way, can you count the number of Nigeriens and Chadians who hold public positions in the north? |

forgiveness:Maybe 200 years ago . UK cancelled birthright citizenship in 1983. This law will pass because republicans won the house and the Supreme Court is also conservative. |

It's as clear as black and white. It's in the 14th amendment. Any argument is rooted in ignorance and maybe some bigotry and racism joined together. |

Nigeria is a 100% black nation whose indigenous citizens have always inhabited. America was stolen from the native, indigenous Americans by European IMMIGRANTS who also went as far as committing genocide against the natives, IMPORTED enslaved people to till and build the land. These 2 simple facts tells you that USA does not belong to white people so ANY child who is born on the American soil even by unlawful immigrant parents is by right a 100% citizen of the U.S.A just as the illegal, undocumented European immigrants who stole the land did not revoke birthright citizenship from their children born on U.S soil.

Starzo:Did native Americans give all the people now calling themselves Americans the right to come to their land in the first place? If you want to go back that far in history then everyone should go back to where they originally came from. |

Natbrowny:Yes Yes Yes Just like Arnold Schwarzenegger, You don't need to be born in a country to hold political office except the number one seat in the country. However, Chidinma Adetshina cannot become president of Nigeria because she was born in South Africa and Barrack Obama, born in Hawaii, can become president of U.S.A not Kenya because office of the presidency requires that country should also be your country of birth. |

Roboto11:Immigrants, especially South Americans have been involved in very serious crimes, ranging from drug trade to murder. Note that Trump simply amplified what had been going on with previous administrations. However this time, Trump is determined to put an end to the endless huge human trains moving to America from Venezuela, Guatemala, Mexico, Colombia, etc. Aside from that, Trump is determined to put an end to terrorist imported into the USA from Middle East and Africa. All he wants to do is to protect his country from criminals. While they find internal means within the law to deal with criminal citizens, they must not permit foreign criminals to continue to invade their country and further harm the citizens. That’s the same complain by Nigerians, when we complained that Fulani militia had invaded the country from other parts of Africa. |

dometome:Stop spreading falsehood. The 14th Amendment to the U.S constitution is very clear about that: anyone one born in the United States is a citizen, whether the parents are citizens themselves, permanent residents or migrants (legal or illegal). The only exception are children of diplomats. |

Roboto11:The birth right citizenship was passed because of slaves and red indians. When the rule was made they were not thinking about u in africa or chinese, it was for there own sub class of people as of the time. The matter will drag for long and reach supreme court. The Supreme court of the US can stamp the amendemnt. Having said that i am neither for or against it, Wetin concern me The truth of the matter is that it encourages illegal migration mostly from central and south america. They havent even mentioned chinese and indians those ones are abusing the system massively with theri billions of population. India is worse than Nigeria as abusers Nigeria is like 1-2% or even less. |

Instead of staying in your country to build it and make it attractive, you you run to other people's lands and constitute nuisance all over the place. Useless country with useless leaders and followers Na that Trump fit una |
