President Trump has told an Axios interviewer he plans to revoke “birthright citizenship.” An originalist reading of the 14th Amendment might support such an act.
Lame-duck Speaker Paul Ryan has spoken against so doing. Given the electoral trouble of the House Republicans is largely his fault, he should be too ashamed to voice an opinion.
COTTonLINE writes to support ending birthright citizenship. It makes no sense that the child of a mother here illegally, or on a tourist visa, should get U.S. citizenship.
Few countries do this, why should we? Let’s make the term “anchor baby” inoperable in our republic.
