SS: The incoming administration will make the case that a reinterpretation of the 14th Amendment will allow the administration to exclude two categories of infants from the right to U.S. citizenship: Infants born to a mother who is unlawfully in the country and a father who is not a citizen or permanent resident, and infants born to a mother who is authorized to be in the country for a temporary period of time and a father who is not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
The administration could bar the Social Security Administration from issuing Social Security numbers and cards to these babies. Parents typically request these documents upon their babies’ birth at the hospital, along with the application for a birth certificate, which is issued by the state where the birth happened. Without U.S. citizenship, these babies would not qualify for passports, leaving them without access to another form of identification and also unable to travel.
Can wait to tell my former H-1B coworkers who supported Trump.
Day 1. Day fucking 1 and he’s already going against the constitution. And there will still be a fuck load of people here who will support him. It’s genuinely hilarious and tragic
Australia doesn’t have birthright citizenship for babies born here to people on a myriad of visas. Their kids have to live here 10 years to get citizenship. Lots of hardworking Brazilians who have legally lived work and pid taxes here for ages are currently being sent home with their children. It’s sad. This will be terrible for America
I wonder how Trumps immigrant wife and anchor baby youngest child feel about this. The level of hypocrisy is astounding.
150 years of precedent on how to interpret the 14th amendment being thrown out the window.
You all better stop using that argument when defending the second. Everything is open to the current administrations whims.
Mass early caesareans incoming.
I really think this is going to lead to a change in the way that the federal reserve operates, its been a flawed system since day one.
