Well deportion takes time. They cannot just arrest people and put them on a plane. This, maybe they should asks the parents if they would whether take the kids with them ( with the kids being able to come back like any citizen upon reaching the age if majority OR would the parents like to place them in the foster system.
Well, we'll see how far the needle moves on birthright citizenship.
Now, that I could not tell you I can tell you that no matter what people want you cannot just arrest people and put them on a plane ten minutes later.
Birthright cititzenship would apply to people born here not to anyone wishing to come here. If someone is a citizen then for the most part they can come back at any time ( in this case upon reaching the age of majority).
Trump has ordered that this stop from now going forward. If that order somehow survives the courts, he could seek as a next step to retroactively remove the putative citizenship of others like these deportee children born here.
It would be popular with many of Trump's most ardent supporters, and that's the only reason that applies.
Yeah I’m sure this is going to have a significant impact on inflation. So I don’t want to hear any complaining about inflation increase from these people who are in support of Trump’s decision here. You asked for it, you got it, now everyone has to live with it. Working in concrete demolition for 29 years I happen to know countless people who came to America illegally. They got a job, got their papers, and became US citizens because they were hard working honest people just looking for an opportunity to better their lives. But I understand if some people claiming to be Christians don’t care about that, I mean hey, as long as it’s your family that isn’t starving that’s all that matters, right?
I personally have NO problem with such people getting citizenship with the "catch" I have stated in earlier posts. This does not mean we do not tighten rules to stop the flow, as well.
It just saddens me because the places Trump is targeting are not typical places one would go to find criminals. I’d be willing to bet that when your family and my family came to America looking for a better life, they probably didn’t have any papers either. They were just honest hardworking people looking for a better life for their family. I know how hard it is to get into this country legally because my wife and two daughters are from the Philippines and I know that trying to do that on a Mexican wage is impossible because I was barely able to do it being a US citizen born and raised here in America. I’ve lived in Texas my entire life of over 50 years and I’ve never witnessed any problems from immigrants. Sure immigrants commit crimes but nowhere near as many as US citizens do, not even close my friend. The people Americans have to fear more on a daily basis is other Americans born & raised here, more than any other demographic on this planet.
A majority of Republicans favor the elimination of birthright citizenship. I don't think I'm going out too far on a limb to say that his most ardent supporters would want to make it retroactive.
I’m a republican and I’m completely opposed to the idea. I think the idea fringes on supremacy.
