Axios this morning published an interview with President Trump where he
describes plans to do away with birthright citizenship this is something
he's made reference to in the past especially on the campaign trail and now
we're seeing exactly how he plans to deal with this so-called problem who at
heart is the issue of anchor babies where a child of an unauthorized citizen
born on US soil is granted citizenship Trump told Axio stark the United States
is the only country that allows for this kind of birthright citizenship which is
not true calling the centuries-old edict predict you know us instead of paving
the way for a constitutional amendment Trump plans to draft an executive order
as with other executive orders this will almost certainly be met with extreme
resistance still it's important to understand the origins of the law that
Trump is trying to eradicate the right of birthright citizenship is found in
the 14th amendment this was essentially the law intended to reverse the 1857
Dred Scott ruling which declared that no African American could be coming s
citizen to open this decision Congress passed an amendment the clause in 14th
amendment states clearly that a an persons born or naturalized in the
United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the
United States and awfully State wherein they reside a landmark 1896 Supreme
Court decision ruled that the son of Chinese immigrants was a US citizen
because of this amendment though the amendment is pretty clear in its wording
some have called into question the use of the word jurisdiction one argument
goes that unauthorized citizens aren't under the jurisdiction of the United
States because they stayed in the country longer than permitted at the
same time they are paying taxes and following the laws as box points out the
immigration debate has always been implicitly about race at one time only
white people were granted citizenship then came the Fourteenth Amendment which
still had certain exclusions there was never a period during which citizenship
at Birth was limited on alias line basis Darleen rights where they have been
restrictions those restrictions have been
creation wine citizenship policies over the last few decades have been more
inclusive than ever before the conversatio UN has always been about how
to exclude certain nationalities who threaten to change the makeup of the
populace Trump's new plan is no exception
we don't know exactly what his executive order will look like but we may be
seeing it in the very near future from there expect a bevy of lawsuits after
that this would go to the Supreme Court where Trump will see first hand if his
battle to get red Cavanaugh confirmed was worth it since the Supreme Court has
dealt with precisely this issue in the past it's unlikely the justices would go
against a PR EVS ruling then again we live in a bizarro world now where
nothing is normal or predictable
