With all the crazy October surprises we’ve seen, it looks like Donald Trump has a few surprises of his own. In a recent interview with Axios he said that he’s looked into the birthright citizenship issue and is going to ban it with an executive order.
He also did an interview on Fox News last night and talked about how they’re going to put these illegal alien caravan invaders in camps. He’s already ordered over 5,000 active duty military personnel to the border who will be helping with this.
Undoubtedly this executive order on anchor babies is going to be challenged in the courts. But this phenomenon appears to be a misapplication of the Fourteenth Amendment. It’s been argued for some time that the Fourteenth Amendment only applies to those born from existing American citizens. It did not apply to any random illegal alien who shows up and shits out a baby. And with a majority conservative Supreme Court, there is a chance they’ll uphold Trump’s executive order.
The idea of birthright citizenship is totally insane. What other country has this dumb policy? It needs to end regardless of the logistics involved.
Either way, I fully support these strong actions on immigration by Trump. This is why we supported his presidential campaign and this is why we need to support Republicans in the midterms.
I think I’m going to briefly tune into the CNN and MSNBC feeds to hear them cry about this. Although they’re probably still preoccupied with the second Jewish Holocaust that took place this weekend. It’s a big story no doubt, as that crazy madman shooter killed 6,000,011 Jews in that synagogue.
