I don't believe there is anything Trump could propose that Graham would disagree with.  He's committed to going down with the ship at this point.

I wonder what was promised to him on that golf outing that made him sell out.

You mean the party that has embraced the following political rhetoric

Trump hasn't endangered Republicans but shown who they really are without cover of dog whistling.  

I don't disagree, but if they think he's going to get blown out in 2020 and they might get run in Senate elections (possibly facing a filibuster proof Dem majority) in 2021, they may chuck him over the edge for the stability of Mike Pence.

The question is how many GOP members of Congress would stick with him. I think most would, especially in the House.

They, as a whole,  aren’t loyal to him.  They are loyal to what gets them elected and gives them power, and he will probably cost them control of the House as it is.   If he did something this stupid and horrifying, he’s given their opponents everything they need to defeat them in 2020, further stripping their power.  

Now there are so,e that appear very dirty with ties to Russia.  They will go down with Trump.  But the rest won’t.

Heard an excerpt from the Axios interview on NPR this am. In response to the interviewer pointing out that this is an actual amendment to the Constitution, Trump said something like

"They are telling me I can do that with an executive order."

 

The obvious question to me would be: "Who? Who is telling you that you can do that with an executive order?" But that question didn't get asked, at least in the clip they played.

 

Anytime someone says "They are saying" or "they are telling me" or "I am hearing", the immediate follow up should be "Who? Specifically, who? Names, please."

Hitler was a murderous cunt coward, for sure.  But compared to Trump, he was Richard the Lionheart. 

Hitler fought in the trenches of WWI, spent time in prison and was involved in street fights. They helped make him a tyrant.

Had Trump served in Vietnam and got his ass kicked a few times, he’d probably be better off for it.

I actually don't have an issue with ending the birthright citizenship or in making it similar to what the UK does where at least one parent must be a citizen.

Plenty of countries have some type of requirement that at least one parent be a citizen in order to grant citizenship to a baby born in that country.

That's fine, but ending birthright citizenship requires amending the Constitution.

[Grandioso 2592]

Trump is an elderly 300 pound elderly man who only stands up to play golf and give "speeches" at rallies. You can tell he uses spray tan, has had cosmetic surgery, and probably spends an hour a day on hair and makeup. He almost certainly has never been in a fistfight, shot a gun, been fishing, or done a day of manual labor in his life. I'd say he's as alpha and tough as Kim Kardashian, but I feel like that's an insult to Kim Kardashian.

He can try, but it will never take effect. The language in the 14th Amendment is unambiguous.

I'd be willing to clarify birthright citizenship by constitutional amendment if we can also address the 2nd Amendment and the issue of corporate personhood.  Let's get to it.

Not sure members of an established colony seeking independence is analogous to non-citizens coming to a country and having a baby in order to anchor themselves to the child's automatic citizenship to facilitate their own citizenship.

My comment on UK being a country that requires a parent be a citizen I don't think has anything to do with the Revolutionary War.

France, Germany, Australia, Ireland and others don't convey citizenship to children born to non-citizens/non-permanent residents automatically.

Just saying that the US wouldn't be only major country to add some "hair" to birth-based citizenship to foreign parents.

Anod those policies have led to some serious problems with immigrant communities in those countries that are unable to assimilate into the broader society. In Germany, it also at one point enabled the Holocaust.

Also, those countries have a lot higher taxes and social support system. Do you support their policy of high taxes?

[SuingToGetAMessageBoard? 3861]

The number of Constitutional scholars that show up when racism asks them to is amazing.  

 

I find the whole thing dumb.  EOs are for how the executive branch carries out something.  Citizenship is a state of being here.  What is the executive not going to do?  Not give these people passports?  Issue SSNs?  That's just an annoyance, not a change in the citizenship of the people.   

 

An EO can't change the constitution.  An EO can't change a statute  (8 USC 1401 "The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth: (a) a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof;").  

 

I would say a properly teed up suit in order of likelihood: (1) denies cert and never reaches SCOTUS; (2) goes 8-1/9-0 against Trump; (3) goes 5-4 along party lines with Roberts going liberal; (4) - (49) other; (50) Trump wins.

[Chad Fuck 17777]

You forgot, "this is all just so much pre-election hocus pocus and drifts away like gossamer once the election is over."

i.e., no EO even happens.

I am not commenting more broadly than simply showing that if the US made an adjustment to birthright citizenship to require at least one parent to be a citizen/permanent resident that they wouldn't be "going it alone" in this regard.

I don't support banning outright but do believe that allowing citizenship to convey to a child simply due to being born in US doesn't make sense in today's easily globally connected world. There should be some connectivity between at least one parent and the US in order for the child to achieve citizenship.

I don't see how that would lead to the fears laid out above around a new Holocaust etc.

In terms of this issue politically it is not a real needle mover for me, and I do believe Trump is using this just to make noise/provide news cycle fodder. He can say this, get folks spun up and then do something crazy he can do via executive order.

My immigration law knowledge is weak. If parent A is in the MS-13 mob and is from Honduras and has a child in Houston with parent B from the same MS-13 mob who is from Guatemala then is the baby an Honduran and Guatemalan citizen or are they stateless?

You are trying to legitimize a racist policy that solves a problem that isn't an issue. It is news cycle fodder as you say and only reinforces Trump's racist base. By trying to legitimize this policy, you are enabling racist.

If the baby is born in Houston, it's a U.S. citizen.

No idea if it's Honduran or Guatemalan.
