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.

    I don’t even understand what this will mean. Why does the donvict care so much about this?

    Would this mean that while Elon was here illegally and if he had kids with someone with the same status, his kids would not be citizens?

      Conservatives hate foreigners, and love watching them get kicked in the face. This is porn for his base.

        Who they consider foreign is also highly subjective. If a German tourist who barely speaks English and has the thickest accent you’ve heard is accidentally mistaken for an immigrant, he will be seen as more American than that Hispanic guy whose family were here before the 20th century.
