[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, the United States finally joins the rest of the world in 2025 where citizenship requires at least one parent be a citizen.  Way to go with common sense USA.  Birthright citizenship as it was previously done was nutso. [/quote]

Sorry, but this EO is unconstitutional.

If you don't like the Fourteenth Amendment, then propose an amendment  to change it.[/quote]

Scotus will uphold it

The mother and father's citizenship and status are not on the birth certificate.

This is going to create thousands, millions of stateless babies.  When we need all the people we can get, as we approach population decline.[/quote]

Birth certificate and immigration status are different things [/quote]

No shit Sherlock.  The issue is how prove you are a citizen under the EOs new rules.  Right now, a birth certificate showing you were born in the US is enough.  [b]Under the EO, you would instead have to produce proof your parents were citizens or lawful permanent residents at the time if your birth.  Many people who are citizens living and working in the US today cannot do this for many reasons.[/b]  [/quote]

The lack of precision in the media’s reporting of this EO is painful and results in a lot of misunderstandings. The wording of the EO is very clear that it only applies to babies born in the US from February 20, 2025 onwards. It is not retrospective.[/quote]

The 14th amendment was ratified in 1868.  What possible basis would there be for applying it only on Feb 20 2025 onward?[/quote]

Practicality?[/quote]
