Summary

Donald Trump signed an executive order to challenge birthright citizenship, targeting children of undocumented immigrants born in the U.S.

The order argues against the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship for those born on U.S. soil.

It bars federal agencies from recognizing birthright citizenship and imposes a 30-day waiting period for enforcement.

The order is expected to face significant legal challenges, with critics calling it unconstitutional.

    Republicans opposing elements of the 14th amendment after decades of claiming to love the constitution. Not surprising.

    But yeah, we have birthright citizenship in the 14th amendment for a reason. Even if we were the only country to have it, where it’s found would explain why.

    Instead let’s fix the other things we’re the only country with like our antiquated system of measurement or our health care system
