In reply to the discussion: Trump aims to end birthright citizenship, says American citizens with family here illegally may be deported [View all]BumRushDaShow

and it will be up to the SCOTUS to "know" and ACCEPT what it says in the Constitution, or otherwise throw it out. And if they cavalierly throw it out, then they throw themselves out with it.
The problem here is the M$M keeps accepting nonsense from the GOP as if it is "fact" and even "possible", while trying to take cover with weasel phrases like what was in this article "long enshrined in the 14th Amendment of the Constitution" or more generally, they'll just dryly regurgitate the "said without evidence" standard retort, and will move on without breathlessly correcting the record like they do to Democrats, while still promoting the GOP lies.

Yup and unfortunately illegal immigrants are a tool by the Republicans in office to distract the voters.
