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.
Why are we talking about Dreamers again now, when they weren’t talked about for the whole 4 fucking years of the Biden Administration? The June Executive Action was fine, but it will now obviously go nowhere, if not be rolled back. Tired of these people being used as a pawn piece. Legislation should have been pushed in '21 and finally taken care of them.
How? Democrats did not have 60 votes in the Senate.
So let’s not even bring a bill forward?
