    I don't see the need for birthright citizenship.

    I would tend to agree that parentage rather than geography should determine citizenship. However, the Constitution is the Constitution. If someone wants to eliminate birthright citizenship, the amendment process needs to be followed.

    I expect @MarAzul in particular will be very angry about this blatant attempt to ignore the constitution.

    I see what Trump doing as the first step in kicking this process off. Or he could just be trying to energize his base ahead of the midterms.

    Yeah, I'm gonna go with the latter. Time will tell, but he seems to be politicizing this whole caravan thing. Both sides are bad in they way they treat current events like this.

    I always said that geography is not important for the voting process and the electoral process needs to be removed from the presidential elections as well, I am willing to bet the Mr. Trump would not be willing to do the same in this case as it does not serve his interests... but as you said, the constitution is the constitution.

    While not personal insults let's try to focus the discussion on the topic instead of calling out/baiting others into arguments. Not saying either of you have done anything wrong, I just want to avoid this turning into a shit show.

    The first smart thing he has done. Why should the taxpayer support a child that came here to get a free ride. Many couples will come here with pregnant wife to take the US citizenship. I heard from a friend that France scratched out the right in 1976 and the UK in 1981. We are actually the country that allows this action. However, can they join the armed forces without a US birth right?

    Perhaps "transported by human vessel" may be more accurate.

    Didn't read the details, but these kinds of things hit home with my wife being Chinese and my kids US citizenship tied to me.

    Interesting how China does it. My daughter was born in China and has US citizenship and a Chinese travel document, so essentially dual citizenship. When she turns 16 China will make her decide on US or Chinese citizenship, as they do not recognize dual citizenship. My son was born in the US and my wife has a green card (and second kid), because of this, China won't recognize him as Chinese at all, he can never claim it. Even if my wife leaves the US and returns to China to live. If she was only on a visa he could claim Chinese citizenship. It is quite strange.

    I guess we could tie this into the abortion debate by saying citizenship starts at conception.
