Summary

Trump announced plans to end birthright citizenship via executive action, despite its constitutional basis in the 14th Amendment.

He also outlined a mass deportation policy, starting with undocumented immigrants who committed crimes and potentially expanding to mixed-status families, who could face deportation as a unit.

Trump said he wants to avoid family separations but left the decision to families.

While doubling down on immigration restrictions, Trump expressed willingness to work with Democrats to create protections for Dreamers under DACA, citing their long-standing integration into U.S. society.

    Why shouldn’t someone born in a country get citizenship regardless of who their parents are?

    Why is punishing a child for what their parents did not completely stupid?

    That’s some apartheid-level shit.

      why is this a punishment? do you realize that if you are born on a vacation of your parents, this prevents you from getting citizenship. is this logical to you?

        do you realize that if you are born on a vacation of your parents, this prevents you from getting citizenship.

        That is absolutely false.
