President Donald Trump dropped a birthright citizenship rant before 7 a.m. on Monday morning in which he argued that the provision was meant to protect the BABIES OF SLAVES!
Birthright Citizenship is not about rich people from China, and the rest of the World, who want their children, and hundreds of thousands more, FOR PAY, to ridiculously become citizens of the United States of America, Trump wrote. It is about the BABIES OF SLAVES!.
Trump continued:
We are the only Country in the World that dignifies this subject with even discussion. Look at the dates of this long ago legislation THE EXACT END OF THE CIVIL WAR! The World is getting rich selling citizenships to our Country, while at the same time laughing at how STUPID our U.S. Court System has become (TARIFFS!). Dumb Judges and Justices will not a great Country make!
The Civil War ended in 1865, and birthright citizenship is traced to the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868, which guaranteed certain rights for African Americans. Importantly, it rectified the 1857 Dred Scott decision which ruled that the U.S. Constitution did not extend citizenship to people of African descent, according to the American Immigration Council.

Then they had to prove that the parents "would not be a charge".

(1,701 posts)Hey, Mediaite! Is it too much to ask for some clarity in headlines? A quick read (on a word-wrapped headline) makes it sound like he abandoned the idea (dropped it). In reality, he just hit the "send" button.
Pardon my pedantry... but words actually matter, even if Mediaite thinks "drops" sounds cooler than "posts." Headline writers are nothing if not vague and ambiguous, are they?
Oh well.

(2,789 posts)as well as the legislatures of the 28 states that ratified it? We are to believe they couldn't understand what the words, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States ..." mean? Are we to believe this was never debated?
If Trump doesn't like the Constitution, then there are ways to add amendments.

(169,685 posts)THEY get to define who "persons" are. Right before that went into effect, some were considered 3/5 of a person.
Bluetus
(2,789 posts)Just the opposite. He is saying "slave children" are the only ones entitled to birthright citizenship.

(169,685 posts)But it will be up to the SCOTUS to define that and given their past historical flip-flops, who knows how they will rule.
