Even if you were born here, he wants to revoke citizenship from second-generation immigrants too.
I'm a 15th generation American citizen and I still feel threatened
This is it.
They aren't even gonna try to prove the accusations are legitimate.
Yeah, that is even more insane. Removing birthright citizenship is just sick.
I'd say the constitution means he can't do that... but...........
The Supreme Court is basically Trump
There is a part in the consistution that says you are a citizen if: A or B and C. Birthright comes from A, where as people who travel to the USA need B and C, and people believe that means A or (B and C).
Trump wants it to be (A or B) and C.
Yeah and then? Where are you going to send them?
You can't just toss them on a plane to Mexico, Mexico will send that back. These aren't Mexican citizens, that's now how this works, that's not how anything works.
So what is it going to be? Greenland?
If their American citizenship is revoked and they’re not citizens anywhere else, then they would be stateless. There are international laws to help avoid people from becoming stateless, and special methods for stateless people to claim asylum. But clearly, Trump doesn’t care about international laws.
Applying reason and logic to their actions is a mistake. iirc, when we did it to the Japanese-Americans, we just detained the ones we couldn't deport, and just kinda held them...
Citizenship is usually determined by where your parents have citizenship or where you were born. In Mexico, if the parent has citizenship, the kids can be nationalized. China could be harder though, if the Chinese parent was an American citizen. I have no idea how they'd treat it if that citizenship was revoked, but the kids wouldn't normally be citizens if a Chinese parent acquired American citizenship and had the kids born as Americans. Normally countries don't get into revoking citizenship because everyone has to have a country or last resort who is obligated to take them. Would be a rough situation to be stuck in. If you have money, you can buy citizenship in a lot of places though. Lots of EU countries allow that too.
According to Chinese law, citizenship is automatically revoked when someone obtains foreign citizenship. A natural born US citizen would never have Chinese citizenship to begin with. If they follow the law to the letter of the word, they probably would not be accepting deported Chinese Americans unless Xi had a change of heart and accepted them as a PR stunt and can use it as propaganda. I could already see the headlines in China if they did accept them: "Chairman Xi Graciously accept Chinese people that formerly held American Citizenship as The United States in an act of cruelty, refuse to recognize non-whites as citizens."
Wechat comments will be like:
"Lol these race traitors thought they could become Americans by kneeling in front of their white masters?"
or the common insult “活该” “汉奸‘”
I mean, not everyone in China acts this way, but the ultra-nationalists would harass you for immigrating to the US.
I'm more afraid of trump just finding a random country that isn't doesn't even speak English or Chinese and dump them there. Or hold them in concentration camps.
How far back does he want to go, exactly?
Far enough to create an ethnostate, probably.
1619?
Correct, he's going to revoke both his own and his kid's citizenship.
Obviously the rules don't apply to dear leader but some of us are 2/3/4 generation immigrants and voted against the orange Turd but might now be caught up in this dragnet of hate.
