#Thread Why President Trump Should End Birthright Citizenship for Illegal Immigrants:
First we begin with the brilliant @KrisKobach1787 in 2011 on the O'Reily Factor, laying out the legal case to End Birthright Citizenship for Illegal Immigrants 1/
"The notion that simply being born within the geographical limits of the United States automatically confers U.S. citizenship is an absurdity — historically, constitutionally, philosophically and practically." - Michael Anton 2/ washingtonpost.com/opinions/citiz…
"Some will argue that the Supreme Court has already settled this issue, establishing birthright citizenship in United States v. Wong Kim Ark. But this is wrong. The court has ruled only that children of LEGAL residents are citizens." - Michael Anton 3/ washingtonpost.com/opinions/citiz…
"Practically, birthright citizenship is, as Erler put it, 'a great magnet for illegal immigration.'"
"Fly to the United States to have your baby, and its silly government will give him or her American citizenship!" -Michael Anton 4/ washingtonpost.com/opinions/citiz…
"It is no wonder that citizens of other countries take advantage of our foolishness."
"The wonder is that we Americans continue to allow our laws to be flouted and our citizenship debased." - Michael Anton 5/ washingtonpost.com/opinions/citiz…
"An executive order could specify to federal agencies that the children of noncitizens are not citizens."
"Why shouldn’t @POTUS act to defend the clear meaning of the 14th Amendment?"
"Birthright citizenship was a mistake whose time has gone." 6/ washingtonpost.com/opinions/citiz…
.@AnnCoulter on Birthright Citizenship: "Any President or Congress could simply state that children born to illegal aliens are not citizens. If only we had a President or Congress that would do so." 7/ thehill.com/opinion/immigr…
President @realDonaldTrump on Birthright Citizenship earlier this year: "They have a baby on our land, the baby becomes a citizen...and then the parents come in with the baby because the baby is a citizen, this is like crazy.”
We agree! End it! 8/
.@anncoulter and @DennisPrager with a fantastic discussion on Birthright Citizenship and the Supreme Court. 9/
