Summary

Donald Trump signed an executive order to challenge birthright citizenship, targeting children of undocumented immigrants born in the U.S.

The order argues against the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship for those born on U.S. soil.

It bars federal agencies from recognizing birthright citizenship and imposes a 30-day waiting period for enforcement.

The order is expected to face significant legal challenges, with critics calling it unconstitutional.

No. Keep him. Kevin o'leary too.

Only if you promise to make the entire US your 14th Province, or no deal!

I thought O'Leary was Canadian? Did he emigrate to the U.S.?

Stay tuned for a new constitutional crisis every day!

Just one per day? I'm expecting at least two.

Constitutional lawyers are going to be making a fortune over the next 4 years. Fuck you America. Just fuck y'all.

The Supreme Court has been bought and paid for by right wing special interest organizations like the Heritage Foundation. This obviously illegal order will be upheld. At best, there might be a single right wing judge that crosses to make it a 4-vote dissent.

The rule of law is dead in America. This has been planned since the Painter memo in 1971. The fascist takeover is happening.

The payload

Among the categories of individuals born in the United States and not subject to the jurisdiction thereof, the privilege of United States citizenship does not automatically extend to persons born in the United States:

(1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or

(2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States at the time of said person’s birth was lawful but temporary (such as, but not limited to, visiting the United States under the auspices of the Visa Waiver Program or visiting on a student, work, or tourist visa) and the father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth.

Which is absolutely ridiculous. In the first case if they aren't subject to your jurisdiction then you cannot deport them. And in the second they would not need a visa. You can't have it both ways. You can't make them subject to our laws without them being subject to the United State's Jurisdiction.

That’s not true. Even diplomats, who this clause was written for, can be expelled from the country.

Trump’s SCOTUS will take care of this, no problem.
