In reply to the discussion: 52 seconds - Solicitor Sauer tells Kavanaugh there's no plan to enforce Birthright Citizenship changes [View all]Arazi
(8,887 posts)10. Trump issued an EO on Jan 20th rescinding birthright citizenship
From lawful residents of the US. As far as I know Ivana Trump was never a citizen (and neither was Melania iirc when she had Barron).
Several rightwing groups are now fighting to enforce it. So far several circuit courts have prevented that enforcement with injunctions.
The circuit courts use of these injunctions is what was being argued before SCOTUS today.

OP
Nobody anywhere is saying that a person born to a US Citizen anywhere is not a citizen by birth. . .

But that EO refers to cases when neither parent is a citizen. That doesn't apply to Trump's children.

Trump was a citizen, so his kids are citizens regardless of their mothers' status. I don't care about them, either,

I personally am an example of this...although at the time the process was a bit different.

Having no idea how to actually do something has never stopped Trump from doing stupid shit.

No plan yet, but given the opportunity they'll come up with something half-assed and demonstrably cruel on the fly
