Summary
The ACLU filed a federal lawsuit challenging President Trump’s executive order to deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. if their parents are unlawfully present or have temporary legal status.
The order, set to take effect in 30 days, conflicts with the 14th Amendment, which guarantees birthright citizenship, upheld by the Supreme Court in 1898.
Critics argue the order creates a “subclass” of noncitizens, undermining fairness and equality.
The lawsuit seeks to block the order, which also directs agencies to stop issuing passports and recognizing affected children as citizens.
I’d emigrate right now based on your comment if it were actually allowed. Where do you think American citizens should go if their citizenship is revoked?
He just said, barge, adrift, at sea
That sounds lovely. Do they have universal healthcare on the barge?
Yes, but you won’t like it at all.
