Rep. Matt Gaetz introduced legislation that would end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents. Currently, the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to all born in the U.S., including children of undocumented immigrants and those on temporary visas. However, Gaetz claims this has enabled fraud and misrepresentation, with estimates of 33,000 births annually to women on tourist visas. While the Supreme Court has upheld birthright citizenship, experts say a president cannot end it through executive action alone. Gaetz’s bill aims to preserve the “sanctity of American citizenship” by ensuring it is earned through legal migration.
The Supreme Court is already delegitimized.
you’re right. kinda feels like we’re just hanging out waiting to die though. can’t see any way that any of this goes in any good directions.
it’s true… just a bit hard to process how that goes from here. haven’t sorted out the tools to properly discuss it without sounding like i’m just waiting around to die.
That court is a strange thing. One dies and another one rises. It’s like kings
