I thought... republicans didn't want to change a single letter of the constitution. :v The constitution clearly lays out how citizenship works.

Please tell me which Republicans.

Trump is the only person AFAIK who's for this change.

Donald Trump, Rand Paul, Rick Santorum, Lindsey Graham, Chris Christie, Bobby Jindal, and Scott Walker have all stated they want birthright citizenship to end and/or be "re-examined."

Can you provide any proof?

THOSE IN FAVOR OF ENDING BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP

Donald Trump: ”This remains the biggest magnet for illegal immigration,” he said in his immigration proposal.

Rand Paul: “This resolution makes clear that under the 14th Amendment a person born in the United States to illegal aliens does not automatically gain citizenship,” he said in 2011 about a constitutional amendment he proposed with Sen. David Vitter.

Rick Santorum: “Other enticements to illegal immigration, such as birthright citizenship, should be ended… Of developed countries other than the United States, only Canada has birthright citizenship,” he wrote back in May.

Lindsey Graham: ”Birthright citizenship I think is a mistake,” he said in 2010. “We should change our Constitution and say if you come here illegally and you have a child, that child’s automatically not a citizen.” (He added to Kasie Hunt on Monday: “I’ve been saying for a long time that I’m willing to change birthright citizenship after we fix the current broken immigration system.”)

Chris Christie: ”I think all this stuff needs to be reexamined in light of the current circumstances,” he told Laura Ingraham this month. “[Birthright citizenship] may have made sense at some point in our history, but right now, we need to re-look at all that.”

Bobby Jindal: “We need to end birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants,” he tweeted.

Scott Walker: When asked by MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt whether birthright citizenship should be ended, he replied “Yeah, to me it’s about enforcing the laws in this country.” But Walker later appeared to walk it back: When asked if he misspoke on birthright citizenship, Walker said, per NBC’s Shaquille Brewster: “No, we had a three hour rolling gaggle there. It’s— you answer part of the question, somebody turns and asks you something. My point is, yeah I empathize with people who have concerns about that but until we fundamentally secure the border.”

It's high time in this country that we close this loophole, and cut off illegal immigrants' children that were born here, and deport them alongside their parents.

Going forward, anyway. Starting with people born tomorrow.

Holy fuck

GASP

"I'm going to interpret this in a way that makes Caution look like a bigot because that's the only card I have to play - even though, I damn well knew what he meant!!"

It doesn't have anything to do with being a bigot, that's literally blatantly unconstitutional, which those like you love to cry out "but muh free speech!" and "don't take muh guns!" while also showing either blatant ignorance to the actual contents of the constitution or dismissing it when it doesn't align with your agenda like you are right now.

Yeah kids born here are citizens, but of course Republicans are trying to get rid of that even though it's in you know the constitution. But Conservatives only care about that when it is convenient to them.

Fun fact: The US is one of the only first-world nations to believe in conferring citizenship simply by being born in the country.

Well they're US citizens. Won't stop some shit heads from deporting them to a country they aren't from.

When the parents are deported, they'll likely take them with. And, given that their parents are legal residents from that nation, in almost every case they should have citizenship there.

A pretty interesting read, actually.
