[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the major problems is the practice of "anchor babies".[/quote]

Usha Vance is an anchor baby. [/quote]

I’m the same kind of “anchor baby” as Usha Vance (born in the US to two Indian parents here on student visas), and also a Democrat who voted for Harris. I don’t think the legal basis for the EO is sound based on the language of the 14th Amendment, but I’m fine with the policy. Birthright citizenship is pretty dumb in this day and age.

My parents got their green cards when I was in elementary school and were naturalized when I was 12. I think it would have been perfectly reasonable for me to become a naturalized citizen, as their minor child, at the same time as them. That’s the type of policy change that would affect the children of legal immigrants and it’s the commonly used method for citizenship for the children of immigrants in most other first world countries. It’s not inhumane or really a bad policy at all. [/quote]

So you, Usha Vance, Kash Patel, Vivek Ramaswamy and hundreds of thousands of others born under the same circumstances are all ready to move to India because you're fine with Trump's policies to strip them of citizenship claims?[/quote]
I don't know the specifics of their immigration status; however, just like the Reagan amnesty thing, it will happen to things in the present and moving forward. So this argument is not worth discussing as it won't be retroactive. A good start is to [b]stop the illegals [/b]in their tracks now rather than make it retroactive. Basically stop the invasion and prevent it from continuing. [/quote]

For the 100th time, the EO covers people who are here legally.

Also, it will stop only one type of illegal.  Young men working in Home Depot parking lots will still be there, and your drywall will still be hung by them.[/quote]
