Doesn’t seem complicated.

This is about limiting the power of the judicial branch.

If you're born on Earth, you're an Earthman. #Justsaying

I was born here, same as parents, and all grandparents, and even my great grandparents. I get real dark in the summer and I wish some ICE mofo or their now deputized slave patrol citizens approach me and try to ask me for identification or if I can speak English. Please come at me motherfuckers 😈

Absolutely

USians, yes. Americans, nah.

A game of telephone? We're fucked

Technically America, includes Central America, and South America. Is Clearer/More accurate to say, those born in the USA, are U.S. Americans!

My country used to have birthright citizenship until the late 1980s. Then we had citizenship conferred by a parent who was either permanent resident or citizen. Now, apart from a few exceptions, citizenship is conferred by a parent who is a citizen.

That's generally how that works

Trump/Miller think only whites have rights - or orange is apparently acceptable as well for MAGA/GOP. Perhaps if all races of people in USA were all orange like Dear Leader Trump his MAGA Cult sheep would see that all those scary "others" may also have equal rights under our constitution like them?

Seeing what America has become in just over a hundred days of the Trump Administration, you can forgive those born in America wanting to migrate!

Sorry. but the rest of the world does NOT want them.

Who can blame any country for that sentiment.🤗

The fact it only took 100 days tells you it was already a problem even before he was "elected".

No, it reveals a radically irresponsible administration that flouts many years of established rules. However, irrespective of his proven felonious character, and seeing that he is a democratically elected President, I have to accept that 'they', too, must be equally corrupt.

It's too bad that just because your born in America, you don't believe in due process or freedom for all.

Not for long unfortunately.... The orange bag of turds is gonna change that.

Yes!!! 👍

I have and continue to do so everyday, Congressman Lieu. Please get your "friends" across the aisle to do so. That might save our democracy. At least they could do would be to give a thumbs down to the "flying palace". How hard is it to enforce a constitutional provision. Heck, Senator Paul agrees.

If you’re born TO an American.

Am I correct in remembering that many expecting Russians with money were coming here during Trump's first term, staying in the vicinity of MAL, to give birth to dual-citizen babies?

Yes. apnews.com/general-news...

I disown mine.

Anyone born within the boundaries of the America Continent is an American no matter the nation/country!

The Law needed changed long ago. Only if Parents have become Citizens do Children become Citizens is the way it should be

It was easier to rename Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America than it is to accept that a person born in America is an American.

I support this butt. 🍑

Yes! This will be a slippery slope if they remove birthright citizenship, and could eventually be removing American citizens even if they have been here for many generations. That’s what they want. That’s how they will get to removing gay people etc… anyone they deem unfit for the racist whites.

My grandparents came to America. Good luck finding the records that show they were here legally. That means that my parents aren't legal, which means I am not legal. Why am I paying taxes?

Well, you will have lots of company. Not that that is necessarily comforting but you will be one of many. They aren’t just pulling this birthright citizenship garbage to weed out brown people they want to go after anyone they don’t agree with. So this is huge and should concern all, even magas.

Not according to the Constitution haters.

Will do.

If you're born in the Americas* you are an American. If you're born in the U.S. OF America, then you're a USian or Statesman.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO My son is Canadian, NOT an American!!!!

The nationality is Canadian, but American applies to anyone from the Americas. US imperialism has to stop, and one accessible avenue is to change the language around its implied "exceptionalism".

Bruce Springsteen said: "Tonight we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voice against authoritarianism and let freedom ring! There's some very weird, strange, and dangerous s*** going on out there right now."

That’s what the Constitution says! 🤷🏼‍♂️

Otherwise America will have a population of zero European ethnicities

I'm born in North America, but I am Canadian and will never be an American.

Also, if you're a person in America, you're a PERSON. Words mean things.

Period ..nuff said.

Otherwise, anyone can be here illegally. Especially, if you are black or brown

If you were born in an airplane transiting American airspace, you’re an American.

I was not born in the US and I don’t live there. But could you imagine if someone told you were not (insert country of birth) you would think that someone was brain dead or was having a psychotic break from the real world.

I get the problem of creating a new class of Americans, but I kinda see their point. It just must not be retroactive. But if an undocumented illegal alien has a child in the USA, should the child be considered a citizen? Really? They have a point. Try listening.

Don't like an amendment, there's a procedure to amend it. An administration doesn't get to violate the U. S. Constitution by fiat.

14th "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... " I see.

The U.S. has hunted expats, retroactively taxing those who never chose citizenship. If the 14th Amendment is optional now, then so is your moral high ground. Reparations will be due.

Big continent bro.

Good. I was worried that my birth certificate wouldn’t be proof of citizenship any more. All my other government-issued IDs are based on it.

If you are human and step foot upon the land of these United States of America & territories. YOU are subject to the rights and privileges of the laws within this land. Also, note that laws are subject to interpretation. One such ruling in 2010 recognizes Corporations as Citizens.

How’s it looking? 🤔

1/Like in congress, where we only see the big shiny objects in their big beautiful bills, this case is really about the power of the lower courts. Alito, yesterday, had the audacity to claim that many of these judges think they can do anything they want. After all, everyone knows that only (cont.)

2/Alito/SCOTUS can do whatever they want. Listen to his childish acting out with him pounding his desk as he speak. youtu.be/-BgM_wuIbWw

Exactly!

There is a dark, ugly side of me that wished it would be made retroactive so my DUMP loving husband would have to leave the country.... But seriously, this whole thing is an exercise in fascism.

Exactly the constitution states clearly if your born in USA then you are an automatic citizen! Period !

Yes, & America is two continents, not a country.

And even if you're born overseas to American parents, you're still American. e.g. Rafael Cruz

Even if your Dad's name is Trump and your mom isn't a citizen.

The orange stain is a terrible human waste!

I call him the Orange POS

I love it!

This orange stain you mention.. that’s how I too refer to him.

Great minds think alike my friend!🫡

But your current administration does not seem to think that way. Being "american" for them means being white and supporting the ideas of MAGA-cult!

The current administration believes lots of lies. Or at least tells them.

No Draft Dodger- No Rapist, nor Felon gets to tell me I'm not an American. I'm first generation born here and I'll speak any one of the five languages I speak that I choose.

The rest of us will watch from the sidelines... Over to you America.

Unless your parents were part of an invading or occupying force or were under diplomatic immunity. There is "fine print" in there.

Since nearly everyone who considers themselves “real” Americans are decedents of people who came here from another country, at what generation born in America are you a “real” American if not the first?!? What am I missing? What is there to understand?!?

Or anywhere else in there Western hemisphere, for that matter…

Well, 🍊💩was born in the USA and he’s Russian.

If anyone cares to help me 💔 a homeless immigrant. I can verify whatever 🙏🏾😢

💯

Bruce agrees.

If Trump wins Melania has to be deported right?

And all but one of his kids. And Ted Cruz.

But then again one is first born as a naked human being. Oneo shouldn't forget this once one becomes an American national. In addition. It's a part of the humanity. Not a replacement. Koyaanisqatsi. watchdocumentaries.com/koyaanisqatsi/

That goes for if you were born in abroad to American parents as well.

If you’re an insurrectionist against the United States of America you need to be indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced to prison 20 to Life, depending on one’s role. No exemption by any Federal court, for anyone, including presidents. Pass it on.

I think most of us agree but feel it’s too late for US to do anything except protest & vote when it’s time. 🫤

That's usually How it works!

Just like a disease.

True. Always been true.

Surely the Supreme Court will uphold this

😬

It you are a republican, you support terrorism and should be deported. Pass that on. Those folks in 1865 really screwed up. Those Confederates should have been put on boats.

They should have been put into prisons for treason

Honestly I don’t care where you were born, our borders should be wide open to accept everyone.

File an amendment to make no birthright citizenship retroactive and there will only be Native Americans. (A distinct improvement, BTW!) Deport the administration back to their “home countries”.

Send the Orange POS & all his kids and grand kids back to Germany - thats where the surname TRUMP comes from.

Drumph is their real German surname. They changed it to tRump in an effort to hide their German roots. ---

Sorry mis-typed Drumpf - is the original German name. ---

We're waiting! Impatiently now!

That's what I like to hear! 👍

bsky.app/profile/cher... FYI🚨🚨🚨

I'd your parents were both born in America, and you were born outside American soil cuz they were visiting elsewhere, does that mean you're not American? Borders are artificial. We made them up. It's lunacy.

According to the law, it only takes one parent to acknowledge their child as an American citizen, so yes. It's why Ted Cruz was able to run for president in 2016 despite being born in Canada and having a Cuban father. His mother was an American citizen.

That is current law. We all know that can be changed at a moment's notice.

I was born of American parents abroad. I have a German birth certificate. And an FS240 stating I’m a citizen. But if Germany will take me …. 😊

if you have the birth cert, then you should be able to apply for a German passport. The passport then allows you to move and live in the EU, not just Germany. Apply for your passport and find out!

America is the name given to the continents; not the United States. America is just the continent where these particular states are located. Borders are like races; both imagined as real.

Yes! We are the United States “of” America. 🇺🇸

Yes, but our given name is United States. America is like our last name which we share with North America, Central America, and South America (our older and more established family). America refers to these continents. My people were here long before the European invasion.

Like our Canadian border he says…

There are places in Florida where Russian women come to give birth, specifically for the automatic citizenship. I'm not arguing, I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy

You spelled coloniser, incorrectly.

If you’re born in Canada, you are the fundamental opposite of a dumbass* (*See also, American)

I'm 5th generation born here in Trumpland. If I'm not a citizen, then what am I?

Do I have to be?

My question: Why is ICE allowed to wear masks? What can my government do to stop them?

If you were born in the USA you are an American. If you were born in Canada, you are a Canadian, NEVER an American. If you were born in Mexico, you are Mexican - NOT an American. ONLY the Arrogant USA lays claim to the whole continent of North America. Which is why they want Canada. NEVER 51st.

Thank you! I feel like our politicians never went to school and learned anyone born on the American continents are American. The USA just figures they are the only ones that count.

It is a colloquial use of "American." Do any Columbians or Brazilians refer to themselves as "American" is everyday speech?

My father was American. He lived in Toronto, only ever visited the uSA.

Did he refer to himself as "an American citizen?"

Thanks for mansplaining.I didn't know that at all! 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Anyway you slice it, it still comes down to the USA thinking they are the only ones that count. While I was traveling,I never heard anyone else use the term unless they said "loud Americans" or "rude Americans" or "damn,here comes more Americans"

I'm not "mansplaining" and I do understand the point. Both continents are "American" and, yes, technically everyone from either are "American." That just bears no resemblance to how people actually talk about themselves and brings nothing to a discussion of birthright citizenship in the US.

Is Baron a US citizen if he was born before Melania was given citizenship when it was determined she should be granted citizenship under the Einstein clause reserved for persons who are genius? What if you are Mexican? What if you are Ukrainian & you were born here & 1 parent isn't a citizen yet?

Melania is a genuine genius who married for love. She is so lucky !! 😼

Everywhere we went in Europe, we always clarified that although we were from North America, we identified as Canadian, definitely not American!

Amen sister 🙌🏻🙌🏻

That’s for sure. The children were born here and they should stay here.

As clear as it can be. It’s that simple.

If you are adopted by Americans, you are American, except you have to pay a bunch of money to prove it.

My great-grandfather came to the United States from Ireland. My grandfather was born here, my father was born here, and I was born here. My children and grandchildren were born here. Without birthright citizenship, how can I prove any of us belong here? Maybe we just haven't been caught yet.

Same here Great Grandfather from Ireland Grandfather born here Father born here Same on my Mother's side. Trump’s family is the same except his Mother was born in Scotland. The 1st and 3rd wives were born outside of country where does that put his kids

Actually, Trump's grandfather Frederick fled Germany, where he was facing charges of draft dodging and tax evasion. He became a successful pimp during the Alaskan gold rush. Tragic that no one tracked him down and shipped him to El Salvador.

Looks like draft dodging is a family trait.

It's a little worse than that. Trump's father, who claimed the family was Swedish during WWII, cheated the government on housing for returning veterans. "Suckers and Losers!" www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

Yes indeedy!

They can take his grandson now and call it even

That’s just a nasty rumor.

......... the last time I passed on something like this it was about, 'no body in the USA is above the law' ............. see where that got us? ............ we have lots of fine phrases and wonderful pronoucements which we were all raised on in the USA that are meaningless and I am furious........

If you’re born here, you’re an American. If you naturalized, you’re a citizen. End of discussion. We cannot allow them to bastardize our nation.

Aren't you also an American if born TO American citizens in a foriegn country?

Yes that is called dual citizenship.

Only if born in a country with unrestricted birthright citizenship. Many do, but many do not (i.e. a large part of the EU).

Furthmore, you should be treated like an American with all the rights and priveleges that American's are afforded around the world.

I used to think being born in America meant being born into a democracy, too.

Sure, so far.

Or if you eat McDonald's weekly

This is common sense

If you were born in America and I was an American you would be my choice for President. I respect you and your no nonsense style sir.

yes, Yes, YES!!

I really don't know. Were all our Founding Fathers born in America?

Yes. Born again American.

Gladly. Thank you for saying this. We all need to be saying it.

Yes that includes Canadian and Mexicans. How are so many of you so uneducated to call yourselves American when you don't like the rest of us Americans. You are ONLY the united states OF America. You're not America!

And I will add if you are an American naturalization citizen who went through the examination that most Americans born in the US will fail many time over to become a US citizen and passed it with flying colors YOU ARE A CITIZEN. They cannot take that away from you no matter how long they try.

If you go against the Constitution you hate America. Say that.

So you guys ever gonna stop enabling those fucks or what?

Cool. Now do something to stop fascism.

What would you like them to do that they aren’t already doing and have the power to do?

You all bayed to keep your 2nd amendment. Maybe use it? Or the 25th. Or just don't vote for racist, rapist, felon dickheads... twice. That would have been better all round.

Right, voting is what people should have done. Sadly, the American electorate often fails in its duty due to laziness and apathy. If you look at that thread you see why I asked that moron the question. There’s a lot of idiocy going around unfortunately.

The apathy was the most disgusting thing. Nobody thought to stop the obvious implementation of Project 2025 and just... Sat there. It should be mandatory!

And they were warned. By Harris and Walz. And their surrogates. And pretty much every democratic candidate and official. People still couldn’t be bothered to get off their lazy asses and carry out the simple task of casting a ballot. Shameful.

Completely. It just opened the doors for all those who never got over the civil war to openly show their hatred again. It never left, now it's just in the open again. I'm not even American but I mourn what Harris and Walz could have been to the world.

One hundred percent correct unfortunately.

demcrats always won when they ran liberals. they should do that again

And they she actually have a plan for poverty and homelessness, then I will get excited.

They literally did. It’s just that people didn’t bother to inform themselves. If your argument is “they should be more liberal”: 1-the electorate chose the more conservative option. 2-you don’t get more progressive outcomes by allowing republicans to win thereby pushing the window further right

I mean itsnoit their faut they arent more liberal, god must have really hated them.

fbi waged a war against liberals for the last 40 years and cheated against hillary. Democrat's responded by holding them above the law, and going far right. Now Trump is taking them to the woodshed for it, and i have to say watching is no small pleasure

Thanks for outing yourself as a massive piece of shit.

ANY-FUCKING-THING.

They’re doing a lot. What aren’t they doing that they could be? Be specific.

Apparently, Pammy Jo and the rest of Trump’s crack legal team have been slow to come to that understanding.

Even if you are an American, today Americans are being arrested and disappeared from public view and, without due process, could be disappeared out of this country forever without any accountability. It's time to hit the streets.

Nobody should ever need to ask themselves this question - ever - We should just deport the fat slob and all the corrupt GOP along with such a moral stain on this country - Let him become king of nowhere - where the GOP are his slaves - lets see how long that lasts -

I vote for a deserted island where he could be king--like Lord of the Flies--and see how long it takes for them to start 'eating' one another...

An island full of Cannabals - That still exists in places -

I agree - let them have him - Ew

Whereas if you're born anywhere and you're Jewish you can claim Israeli citizenship, while if you're of Palestinian descent and born anywhere - even in Israel - you can't be an Israeli citizen. I'm curious as to how anyone can fail to see this as state racism and a form of apartheid..

Also if you're naturalized.

👏👏👏💙💙💙🦾🦾🦾

It is INSANITY this has to actually be said out loud!

I think that's is how it's passed on

This administration is merely seeking to create more people to snatch from the streets!! Rescind that emergency power before any more people have to suffer these atrocities!!!

Not Necessarily.

Radical!

If SCOTUS say otherwise, then these anchor babies need to be on the first plane to Fuckministan!

Don't forget their alleged father (I mean who really knows without a DNA test) had an immigrant mother and his father was born in the US to German political refugees. How does he have citizenship without birthright?

“Political refugees” is a weird way of wording “draft dodging pimp who ran whores in the Yukon.”

You forget he was also a tax evader and draft dodger who only got US citizenship to avoid his obligations to Germany, then begged the Kaiser to let him, as a "good German," stay in the country when he married a woman who hated the US.

sounds good to me!

The felon is an anchor Baby too

Technically you are only an anchor baby if BOTH your parents are not citizens or legal residents of the USA. Since these kids all have an american citizen as their father, they all qualify for American citizenship.

The felons parents weren’t legal……

Not any more! The goal of this project is to get rid of all immigrants AND their descendants.

Which means Trump himself (Orange POS) is also an anchor baby since his mother was born in Scotland.

And his dad too….Germany reich

Absolutely! Just what I came here to say. Unless you're an indigenous Native American, we're ALL anchor babies.

I was hoping for a goat farm in Burkina Faso. I’m sure we can find some white lady to accuse them of behaving suspiciously, before they experience a lack of due process.

Yeah wasn’t there a thing about that?

And if you're born in the US... Best of luck, hope you survive the orange fascist 😱🥴😢

Donny diaper looks like a pumpkin. I would rather put that in charge than him!!

Hot take but I think we should be following the constitution

Not really.

Seems some don’t understand that sentence.

If being born in America DOESN'T make you an American, please clarify what does. Pass on to a MAGA moron for an answer.

The end.

Canadians are Americans. Brazilians are American. Argentinians are American. Words matter.

Haha!! We are not Americans and never will be!!

You live in America. Mexico is America. Nothing you say will change that. Words matter.

Revoking birthright citizenship from 21% of Americans. Tax paying, military joining, job creating, productive citizens. Oh, and blatantly unconstitutional. www.newsweek.com/birthright-c...

🎶 Born in the USA, I was born in the USA🎶

What if you're born in a plane, in mid-air, over f.i. russia, a plane that's registered in the USA? Or on a boat in international waters but the boat is registered in the USA?

We don't need a closed Southern border with massive Boarder Patrol enforcement. We don't have this on our Northern border. Do you think that our neighbors to the north are white has anything to do with that? 🧐

Climate change is going to necessitate migration controls, but they should be done with the aim of reducing human suffering, not the aim of protecting the "security" of "nation states." Economic planning will be required too.

Not according to Dump.

MAKE THIS GO VIRAL !!!

Funny how F47 had NO problem with BIRTH TOURISM when it came to the wives and girlfriends of RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS to whom he rented apartments in buildings he owned in Miami so they could have AMERICAN BORN babies. Why is no one bringing that up? AND BTW wealthy CHINESE were also doing this in CA !

And you know what - I think we should have a real debate about this. What are the limits? Instead we have more discrimination against hard working people of color who want a better future for their children.

💙💙💙💙🇺🇸

Simple and true

💙💙💙💙❤️👨‍⚖️

Cut and dried.... non - negotiable.

My bet is that when the Supremes get to the merits there will be 6 votes FOR this, maybe 7.

* UNLESS you’re the child of a foreign diplomat in the U.S. on business.

Ok....birthright that Trump is trying to get rid of! FOUR of his 5 children were born to women that were not citizens of USA.....immigrants? So....Don, Eric ,Ivanka and Baron could be deported or ousted because of birthright citizenship??

according to Donnie Dipshit unless your skin is any color but the color of Wonder Bread then you are a threat to the security of the country also if you are whiter than whitebread but vote democrat you are not american either and you need to be sent to a gulag to become a sex slave

apnews.com/general-news... Is this still happening? Trump never complained about this.

www.pbssocal.org/shows/to-the...

The question at stake is not if people are citizens, the real question is, can a president overrule the Constitution and Supreme Court rulings?

And if you voted for trump, you're an uneducated amerikkkan.

Deporting a born and raised citizen TO BRING IN RICH WHITE SOUTH AFRICANS MEANS THEY PAID FOR TRUMPS GOLD CARD OF EXTORTION. ARE THE RELATIVES OF MUSKS?? SEND THEM BACK. WE HAVE ENOUGH ENTITLED ASSHOLES HERE. SEND MUSK BACK WITH THEM!

For how much longer? The role of law is feeling dangerously weak right about now.

I’ve been on the end of being told, “Go back to Africa!” Being born in America or coming to America, doesn’t shield you from racism or cruelty. Bullies like to bully, out of fear of the others are being treated better than they are treated.

Yeah, and I can tell you from experience that it’s expensive to become an un-American when you were born there but moved abroad as a child!!!!

I’m fine with anyone who endured an odyssey to get here being an American, too.

I'm a Cajun My people were in Acadie since 1604 till American zealot colonists attempted genocide & deported us to Louisianastan in 1755, where I am STILL fighting the descendants of the zealots who tried to eradicate Cajuns. Ask Evangeline. She'd be my cousin. :^/ parks.canada.ca/culture/desi...

There are only about a half million Cajuns. We are an actual minority.

I love old maps because it's like at the top of Maine: "Oh, fuck it.... let's just make it a circle!"

Should it be English (England)and not American. I’m a Quebecois still we learn stories from our common ancestors.

My parents made sure we knew our history because Americanized history didn't teach us that. Mom in particular. I'm related to Beausoleil via maternal relatives. She made sure we knew that.

Full stop 🛑

This was also true from 1787 to 1863. How did that work out? Ignoring the past disqualifies one from embracing the future. This is not an opinion. This is a fact of life. And, like it or not, America is the living proof. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Isn’t Trump a birthright citizen?

Perhaps we can revoke his.

Otherwise most of our families should have all been deported?

Johnny and the Mothers are playing "Stompin' at the Savoy" in Vermont tonight.

Right now, no one needs more bad news.

Boris Johnson was born in America - can we send him back to you?

He'd fit right in! They imported rapists, so why stop there?

You guys have no ability to communicate. Try this: “PRESIDENT TRUMP WANTS DECIDE IF YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER IS AN AMERICAN, OR IF THEY GET THROWN IN AN EL SALVADORAN TORTURE DUNGEON” Just retire so someone more suited for the times can rise to the occasion

I agree- they struggle with messaging. Rather than call trump a fascist, call him dumb stupid things making our lives worse and putting us at risk.

I believe it was written on parchment!

Marco Rubio would agree.

Also if you’re naturalized in America, you’re American!

Absolutely!

Oh, and I guess next you're going to tell us it's a constitutional principle that is enshrined in the 14th Amendment and was ratified in 1868? 😉

If you come to America, live in America, go to school in America, work in America, raise a family in America, die in America, you are also American.

Yes. Par example: if you're born in Argentina, you are an american

Yeah, they'll be coming for my citizenship if they have their way. My parents were a couple, dad was studying there when they "accidentally" had some babies, as you do. Neither US nationals. Definitely no anchor baby bullshit. More, uh, whoopsy, didn't use birth control bullshit 😄

And if you're a naturalized citizen, you're an American.
