Someone should ask Trump if he is successful with this and deporting permanent residents for being against the government, what would stop the next president from deporting Baron Trump?
"What next President?" - Trump, probably
This is a pathway to Starship Trooper's soldiers being guaranteed citizenship. Imagine having a child here and they aren't a citizen but you are.
It's not guaranteed, but service does help get citizenship: https://www.uscis.gov/military/naturalization-through-military-service
Jus soli (birthright citizenship based on where you are born) is not that common to be fair. I don't think it's the standard in Europe for example. You have to reside (legally) in a country for a certain number of years AND pay taxes for them to be eligible to get citinzenship
That sounds like just another method of exploitation. No dig at any specific countries. I just know in the US this will be used to exploit, isolate, and entrap people.
Here's a map of birthright vs inherited citizenship. As you can see, most of the Americas have birthright citizenship.
They'll give it to him.
I made this prediction back when he started saying he wanted to remove birth right citizenship. It's just a matter of time
Trump takes birthright citizenship battle to his Supreme Court
FTFY
I’m really curious as to what half asses reason the SCROTUS will give to let Krasnov get away with this.
Wait, I finally figured it out. In order to profit you just use the supreme court.
Headline is a tad ambitious. This action is procedural in nature and does not / will not address the merits of the case. The Trump admin is asking the Supreme Court to strike down the three national injunctions and limit the scope of the birthright orders to only apply to citizens in the states where it was granted.
the Trump administration says
“Universal injunctions have reached epidemic proportions since the start of the current administration,” the filing says. “Those universal injunctions prohibit a Day 1 Executive Order from being enforced anywhere in the country, as to ‘hundreds of thousands’ of unspecified individuals who are ‘not before the court nor identified by the court.’”
While totally ignoring the fact that reason why there are so many injunctions is Trump keeps ignoring laws and the Constitution. An immediate injunction is entirely appropriate in that case.
Besides, it's not like the lower court judge issues the injunction and that's the end of the story. There is still litigation, and everything can get appealed. Limiting the scope of those injunctions will only serve to have Trump selectively ignore the Constitution for states what like what he is doing, which is not how it's supposed to work at all.
Well yea, that's exactly what he's after: Small parts of the country, mainly Federal Circuits that aren't perceived to be "friendly" will have injunctions while those that grab their ankles for Trump and give him whatever he wants (i.e. the 5th) don't do an injunction and the states are free to not grant citizenship at will.
Conservatives relied on these national injunctions during the Biden admin just the way liberal groups are now. It's dangerous to prognosticate with this Supreme Court but nationalwide injunctions have their purpose and I don't see this changing.
It should also be pointed out that Roberts has expressed dismay already with forum shopping. In 2023(?) he tried to pressure the Northern District of Texas to change its venue rules so parties couldn't just keep filing in Amarillo. The presiding judge of the ND declined. So this has been an issue on Roberts's radar for awhile. That may lead to some unforseen changes.
Here before 6-3 to get fucked
Yes we need to make it so our glorious leader decides who is a citizen.
Birthright citizenship is a law made at a time when the American population was significantly smaller and wanted to grow to be able to provide more workforce to bring about progress, which benefitted everyone. Now, progress is ending/slowing down, and demand for human labor is declining; and a shrinking population is a good thing because it matches that shrinking demand for labor. Immigration is a bad thing because it increases the population size instead of decreasing it. And also, the birthrate should drop lower to reduce the supply of workforce, keep up wages (via supply-demand of labor) and better the living conditions of the people.
hey Gemini: Is this remark on the idea of removing birthright citizenship in the USA reasonable? If so why? If not why?
The remark presents a perspective on birthright citizenship that is not widely accepted by economists or demographers, and it contains several flawed assumptions and arguments. Here's a breakdown: Points of Contention:
It was made at a time when the victors of the civil war realized that racist loosers would try to deny citizenship to former slaves.
It's the 14th Amendment. If SCOTUS tries to find some bullshit reason it doesn't mean what it clearly says, then we can freely ignore anything they say.
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
