The fact that these clowns made the argument that we can’t have gun control because of the 2nd amendment and yet will gladly disregard the 14th amendment of the constitution
Owning a gun is so sacred because it’s written in the constitution, but then birth right citizenship is also in the constitution, why can’t they respect that?
@@danielmakinde-v9kthat's not the point he made. He's saying you respect the constitution entirely or you dont. There should be no in between. You May not like a law but u dont have to change it. 4 years ago we all heard about how sacred the constitution was, and it was the most beautiful thing ever written. Now he wants to change because he does not like a law.
You are not following what is going on, Trump is defending the 14th amendment. It is in that amendment where it says, "not under the jurisdiction". It's those who ignore that who are giving disrespect.
@@TheRadioAteMyTV Are you saying that no US court has jurisdiction to prosecute those people? They can't be arrested / jailed for crimes, only deported?
As WSJ said, Trump can’t directly change the constitution with an executive order. The only way to change the constitution is through a constitutional amendment proposed by Congress or by a constitutional convention called by the states. The process of amending the constitution is lengthy and time consuming because our founding fathers wanted a constitutional amendment to be supported by everyone within the country. They also done it to prevent the Constitution from being changed frequently because they feared that it would end up being a disaster because it could have led to instability.
No. He can refuse to issue any recognition to children of illegals born in the country. Then a challenge to read the constitution correctly will lead to a Supreme Court decision. - the right to gun possession is in the constitution but it doesn’t include ailens. -- Birthrate citizenship by soil was done to give all slaves citizenship. That’s it. If children of Ambassadors who are born in US are not citizens, then same logic applies to illegal ailens. Calling it ending “Birthright” is a misnomer. Citizenship will continue to be bestowed to anyone at the moment of birth, so long they have one parent who is a citizen (which is what happens in every country in the world) but citizenship for birth on soil will be restricted to lawful permanent ailens (who they are on official pipeline to be naturalized).
Exactly the United States has been widely considered to have exploited Central and South American countries through various means, including military interventions, political influence, and economic manipulation, often prioritizing American business interests over the sovereignty and well-being of Latin American nations, particularly during the "Banana Wars" era of the early 20th century; this practice is often referred to as US imperialism in the region. And now they want them to return to a home where there is nothing left. This has been a common them throughout the major world powers.
The billionaires told the working class (who's wealth they've been siphoning off for decades): "hey, working class, life is so unfair right, no real increase in wages for decades!? That's the fault of those people below you, kick down! Kick down *hard!"*
@@cullendonaldson6452”A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. “. This is a weird sentence that can be interpreted as the right to bear arms are within the context of maintaining a militia, for the defense of the United States aka the National Guard. It’s all one sentence. If it was purely the right to bear arms it would have left out the Militia part and “well regulated” at that. That being said it could still be interpreted as everyone having their own guns that they can bring along if they are called upon to defend the freedom of the state.
But why would Americans want people who aren't legally residing in the United states have babies and automatically become Americans -when their parents aren't?! It seems very logical to me, as an Australian, that tourists shouldn't automatically get some sort of citizenship advantage just because they give birth in Australia. Please explain... Like please.

Anyone can argue about Native Americans not being citizens… that will never change. America knows their wrongdoing, that’s why they have laws specifically based around natives for a reason
People are forgetting that birthright citizenship also applies to many native Americans as well. What do they think happens if those tribes are no longer citizens? We can’t deport natives. This is a huge issue
You are confused, it's not getting rid of birthright citizenship. It's about adding a clause that Illegal Immigrants birthright citizenships are not applied to their children. The same way birthright citizenship does not apply to foreign diplomats, an invading army, or a family from Korea visiting Disneyland as an example.
@@sayingso1983 It applies to all Europeans after 1886 going forward, not backwards. Colonization took place in the 17th century. Now if you want to say "Do Europeans have an easier time LEGALLY gaining U.S. citizenship and therefore their children become U.S. citizens?" Most likely yes, but it's still a legal process. Can't say the same for illegal border crossers since that is not a legal process. There are many immigrants that comes here the legal way through greencards, work visas, H1Bc, etc and gain U.S. citizenship down the line and therefore their children gain birthright citizenship.
@@stevenpeters1717 Basically they pick and choose how to interpret the constitution not simply based on the text but on their own personal bias of what they "want" to be the law.

But for me, I don't care if it's republican or democrat, trying to bend the constitution to your personal aspirations or opinions of what is "right" is wrong. It doesn't help that the text in the constitution is often times half incomprehensible with ambiguous loaded language.

1:17 - It's easy to dismiss concerns, as VP Vance did, with "If you're not here permanently..." But I have been living and working legally in the U.S. on an H-1B visa for the past 12 years. By law, I am not a permanent resident, yet I have built a life here. Under Trump's executive order, my yet-to-be-born child due in April would not be granted birthright citizenship. Given the 150-year backlog for Indians in EB-2/EB-3, I will likely remain on H-1B throughout my career. Why should my child suffer along with me? Update/Edit: I appreciate the concerns and questions in the comments. However, I will no longer respond to discussions about why this is tough/hard, as it's difficult to repeatedly justify the pain. The struggle is real, and I encourage independent research for further inquiries. I don’t believe in playing the victim card (inspired by Munger’s wisdom), but it’s disheartening that the challenges faced by H-1B legal workers-especially those from India-receive so little attention.
And the funny thing is, it doesn’t seem like they want to reform the immigration system, in order to actually make it viable, or reform the H1-B visa.. facepalm🥲
You will most likely be dragged out of your home, put in a detention center and deported. Trump said he will do this by enacting the aliens and enemies act. Good luck.
JD Vance doesn't even make sense. He says if you dont fall under US jurisdiction then you are not a citizen. A person who does not fall under US jurisdiction would be a person who does not have to abide by US laws nor can be prosecuted by US laws. This throws that argument out the window because the only ones who would fall under this catagory would be those with imunity and diplomats of foreign countries. Moreover, he says that these people do not plan to be here permenantly yet them and their children spend their rest of their lives here working and paying taxes for benefits they will never receive.
If you consider the children of an invading army as an analogy, it’s possible to label illegal occupying migrants as part of an invasion whose children are equally ineligible for citizenship.
@sikeajax "occupying" has a very specific meaning, requiring persons in question to be trained enemy combatants of a foreign nation. Crossing a border into the US DOES NOT mean you are occupying the US.
Jurisdiction does not mean what you think it means. Foreigners are subjects of their government, and subject to their jurisdiction. They have allegiance to their country. Only those who have been vetted and legally entered the US with a permanent residence visa are under our jurisdiction, as well as our own citizens. Everyone else is not, especially not illegal aliens. The second definition of "jurisdiction" is "under the control". Tourists and other temporary visitors have consular protections from their governments.
@timothysmith9329 To meet the criteria of birthright citizenship under the 14th amendment you must be (a) born on US soil and (b) under the jurisdiction of the US. Parents on US soil are under the jurisdiction of the US unless they meet specific criteria reserved for those with diplomatic immunity or are enemy combatants. "Allegiance" does not factor in outside of the context of these specific instances. It is clear as day.
We already have a permanent underclass. They're called the American Working Class. And both parties have been negelcting their problems & struggles for decades.
There’s more than you think. A few other countries don’t have birthright citizenship and I’ve heard china has a few million of people who were born during the one child policy as 2nd borns who don’t exist in the system.

If the supreme court points out some loophole on the 14th amendment, which is as clear cut as it gets, they set a precedent for the same on the 2nd amendment
it's not a loophole, the phrase "under the jurisdiction" has meaning. It has thus far been incorrectly interpreted. Read the amendment without it, and I think it will mean what you think it means. Read it again, and imagine why they would have added that phrase, and maybe you will understand the "loophole". Very different from "shall not be infringed". And yet we still have plenty of laws limiting and restricting what arms we can possess.
The 2nd Amendment is written in absolute terms, while the 14th Amendment states it's subject to "discretion" of the US government. 14A was specifically for the children of enslaved. Even Native Americans had the "The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924" to be recognized by the US government as citizens meaning that even they didn't qualify under the 14th Amendment (1866), so how can others???

I've been an attorney for decades. I never thought an issue like this would seriously arise in my lifetime. Of course, a constitutional amendment could change this rule. But absent that, the rule is clear. If we have the US Supreme Court uphold the Trump adminstration on this, then we are lost as a country.
lost as a country? do you think all other countries are lost as no one else besides a couple outliers grant citizenship through simply being born on the land. The laws current interpretation is open to be challenged especially with "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" If a child is a dependent would their subject to jurisdiction not coincide with the adult? also why would the framers even put that in there? If it is not meant to be exclusionary then you don't even need it to enforce the law as it currently being enforced.
@ Is the parent not subject to the jurisdiction of another country via through draft, prosecution, ect.. even if they are temporally working/residing in another country? What sense does it make for the dependent to have separate citizenship of the parent? Especially when the child does not have agency while an adolescent.
My kids were born abroad and did not receive automatic citizenship of that country. After 5 years they could apply for citizenship. Why shouldn’t the US adopt a similar approach. It would all but end the deplorable birth right tourism that exists today.
Because not everything has to be the same from your original country. If you have time to watch this youtube, you have time to educate yourself on the constitution. Our founding fathers signed all these rights in 1780.
What about the kids that grew up and don’t have any one back in a country they have never been to, who also now have children in the states who have worked and payed taxes to America their entire lives? Not everything is so black and white.
I actually feel like the conservatives have a case to be made here if the people in question could be treated humanely. I don't think guaranteeing citizenship to the child of two illegal immigrants who just put themselves in the right place at the right time so they could circumvent the immigration process is reasonable. The problem is we can't approach this issue with any kind of bipartisan consensus where we'd be able to give undocumented people a reasonable path to citizenship while also forcing them to do everything above board and under the watchful eye of the embassy to ensure that people are being lawful and working out benefit the United States at least as much as their home country. I think most normal people want that middle road where citizenship is something given once people have demonstrated they can be trusted but also that until that time people can live here without being exploited.
Because the US uses a quota system for green cards. You can have an approved green card application and be on a work visa for decades without a green card. If it had a system where after 5 years on a work visa and an approved green card petition you could get a green card that would be a different conversation
The phrase “subject to the jurisdiction” refers to being under the legal authority of the U.S. government, which generally applies to anyone physically present in the country, regardless of immigration status. This includes both documented and undocumented individuals, as well as U.S. citizens and lawful residents. If someone interprets this differently, it may be due to political agendas, a lack of understanding, or personal interests, but the legal meaning remains clear in its broad application to anyone within U.S. borders.

The people who are one H1B or student visas are here legally, why wouldn't their children born here be citizens? Granted they didn't over stayed their visas
Because they're here on temporary visas nevertheless. Birth tourism is a thing. Plus, overstaying is a post-fact thing. If they have a kid while they're here legally and then overstay, are you gonna revoke the kid's citizenship after the fact?
@fakeu2122 Everyone's under the US jurisdiction, and everyone pays taxes too (the visitors pay sales tax and property tax by proxy of the rent they pay to stay in the country). But the point is that they're temporary, so why would we be giving their kids citizenship? In fact, I would say even permanent residents' kids shouldn't get it, because we also have a Diversity Immigrant Visa Program that is a lottery for people to just get a green card directly. If at least one of the parents isn't a citizen, then the kids don't automatically become citizens; simple as that. The overwhelming majority of countries in the world work like this.
The kid can be a country of origin citizen and stay with the parents as long as they have the visa, work in us, go through the process of permanent resident then citizenship. The kid will then automatically get a citizenship. Getting a kid is the new way of getting a citizenship for the people on visas. That is plain exploitation.
That is ridiculous. Laws are passed, executive orders are issued, and regulations are created all the time. Clearly you don't understand the law where congress absolutely has the authority to limit rights to some degree. The courts will decide if it's too much. But they generally defer to the elected representatives if it doesn't clearly cross the line. I'd say laws against hate speech go too far. But laws prohibiting inciting riots, threatening, causing mahem, etc. are legitimate limits. As is banning temporary or illegal aliens from being considered "under the jurisdiction":
Update the 14th amendment to give US citizenship to the children of citizen parents or permanent residents. Because, other countries people are misusing our constitution.
This is very dangerous because if it happened it can be the first step for them to create more radical laws such as saying that citizens from a particular background e.g. Black Americans, Asian American, Native American or Middle-Eastern American are not entitled to their citizenship because of some random and unlawful reason or accusation. Also, keep in mind that most of these children that he's talking about, have lived in the United States as Americans for their whole lives and know very little about their parent's homeland, culture and language.
The law was written to assure citizenship rights for newly emancipated Black Americans who were here for generations, not for foreigners in the third trimester to come across the border and have children with the same rights.
3:24 Most countries recognize citizenship based on parents citizenship, not where you're standing when the birth happens. If their parents are from another country, they have ties by birth to that country through their parents. I had a kid in Germany - he's American by Birthright. My German wife had a daughter in the USA - she's German by Birthright! (yes both mine)
That's why at 2:00 Supreme Court ruled in 1890s : at the time of birth, the PARENTS must have PERMANENT DOMICILE or RESIDENCE in the US" to gain the birthright citizenship.
@@Janet1001-X That is NOT what they ruled. The majority opinion was that all persons born on US soil and subject to the jurisdiction of thereof are US citizens. In their ruling, jurisdiction applied at the time of birth regardless of the immigration status of the parents; exceptions applied only to those "who were born to foreign rulers or diplomats, born on foreign public ships, or born to enemy forces engaged in hostile occupation of the country's territory." An exception also applied to Native Americans who were considered sovereign and under the jurisdiction of their tribal lands, but the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 granted citizenship to them afterwards.
@@ThingsRemainUnassigned there's a "BUT" Clause in the ruling. The parents were [LEGAL] PERMANENT RESIDENTS at the time of birth. United States v.

@ThingsRemainUnassigned I just don't buy a scenario that gave more rights to people here illegally than the native Americans. The people here illegally are subject to the jurisdiction of wherever they came from. Think of jurisdiction as a synonym for nation or kingdom... subjects of the kingdom, meaning citizens. The comments the senators made when writing the amendment support that interpretation.
@alma09876 The court had remarked during the proceeding that Wong Kim Ark’s parents had at the time “a permanent domicil and residence in the United States,” but SCOTUS did not CONDITION their ruling on this fact in their interpretation of the 14th amendment, they did not make any distinction between legal or non-legal residence. Even so, undocumented immigrants that reside in the US are under the jurisdiction of the US and any child born on US soil would therefore be a US citizen.
This article is extremely miss-leading. A person in the US on a temporary visa is not an immigrant but a non-immigrant. Because they are here TEMPORARILY. If you are here temporarily, why would it make sense to give a newborn child citizenship. What happens when the parents visa expires and they can’t renew it? They go back to their home country but what happens to the child? He goes with them and them has to pay taxes to a country he is not living in when he turns 18. It just doesn’t make sense. If you are a permanent resident though, which only means being here under a green card, you are considered an immigrant and then yes, it makes sense for kids to get it. Because you are not there temporarily anymore. The order does not ban immigrants (permanent residents under the US code), to not have citizenship at birth. But temporary or illigals aliens are not immigrants under the law.
As an international lawyer, I worked for Lloyd’s of London for 17 years. You may not cross a land border, sea or air space without the permission of the nation concerned. Expelling 10 million people to bring them home means crossing one of these borders. If you do this by bus with a capacity of 100 passengers , you will need 100,000 vehicles . By plane with a capacity of 300 passengers, you will need to have a fleet of more than 30,000 aircraft. Understand that it is absolutely impossible for this to happen by violating the borders of a sovereign nation ...which would not, of course, return any of the vehicles used . People who promise, for electoral and populist purposes tell stories , lie to people who would do well to use a calculator ( and their brains ). Finally, I can’t believe that the crews of these tens of thousands of buses , planes , boats will be volunteers , who , if they manage to pass , won’t see their families again for some time .
There are in fact two previous cases prior to the 1898 case. And yes, they do not agree with the 1898 ruling which was made in direct conflict of what the framers of the 14th intended. Check the writings on the subject it is very clear.

Sure thing Slaughter-House cases of 1872, the Supreme Court stated that this qualifying phrase was intended to exclude “children of ministers, consuls, and citizens or subjects of foreign States born within the United States.” This was confirmed in 1884 in another case, Elk vs. Wilkins, when citizenship was denied to an American Indian because he “owed immediate allegiance to” his tribe and not the United States.

I know many friends coming over to the U.S. for birth tourism. They have birth tourism companies partnering up with hospitals and immigration lawyers. It costs about $20~30K cash. They bring back baby, and that baby gets to pay no tax in America but still gets all the benefit when they come back to the U.S. when they need to go to college with federal aid (well over $30K). And then they will most likely go back to their country afterward. I say we need to fix this.

If a French ambassador commits murder in the United States he cannot be arrested or prosecuted without the permission of his government. He is not subject to our judicial system. If his son commits murder he can be prosecuted no matter where he was born, even though being born in the United States does not confer citizenship to him. Secondly, hundreds of thousands of children born in the United States after the 14th Amendment was passed did not qualify for citizenship because their parents were American Indians and were deemed subjects of a foreign sovereignty (their tribe). It took two acts of congress to confer citizenship on all American Indians. Clearly the phrase "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" does not mean what this reporter claims it does.
There have been instances where children Russian oligarchs were born in the U.S. and thereby became U.S. citizens through birthright citizenship. Miami has become a hotspot for Russian birth tourism, where wealthy Russians including those connected to oligarchs or political elites, travel to the U.S. to have their children born there. Companies specialize in helping these individuals navigate the process, including securing tourist visas and arranging for medical care and accommodations. Even if Russian oligarchs who support Putin, and have kids in the U.S, the kids will get U.S citizenship, because of political views of the parents are not a determining factor.
@CHAD-RYAN they were still able to fake travel reasons, and utilize elite medical services to avoid detection. This is also practiced by some Chinese Communist Party linked figures have also been suspected of engaging in birth tourism to circumvent U.S. immigration laws. Federal investigations have uncovered criminal networks facilitating birth tourism, particularly in Los Angeles and Miami, where maternity tourism companies have engaged in visa fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering.

@@CHAD-RYAN Being here legally is not the same as being a legal US citizen. That's why birthright needs to stop...and I am a democrat. If one of the parents is not a US citizen, neither is their child born here. Period
For that guy at the end to say if "Americans will believe in the rule of law" is laughable, and should have made his segments hit the cutting room floor. There's a point where people stop calling you hypocrite and just recognize you are lying.
These videos are so helpful in understanding the legal history, as well as what’s required for these things to pass. Thank you! And please keep making these!
Birthright citizenship is in the constitution so it would require a constitutional amendment to change. The asinine argument that it only applied to slaves is BS, if that was the case the 14th amendment would have been written as such.
I don't agree with birthright citizenship. You shouldn't be allowed to fly here to pop out your kid and automatically it's american or canadian. No, if you are here and a citizen no problem.
Exactly! They just try to scare people with confusing misinformation! it will go in effect only for new born not to citizen anchor babies. The native americans will not lose anything!
If he claims that undocs are not subject to us jurisdiction then why is he enforcing US laws on them? Why is the US gov make them pay taxes when they work? Those 2 reasons right there are subjecting undocs to US jurisdiction. He's gonna lose big time. What a waste of tax payers money. Why isnt doge stopping this nonsense?
I assume you're being rhetorical but if anyone thinks DOGE has anything to do with government efficiency I don't think they understand how propaganda works. It's transparently an excuse to give Elon Musk access to government data and a big stick with which to bully dissenters in government who opposed Trump's fascist policies.
I agree the legal case is tenuous at best. However, the fact that we’re basically the only country dumb enough to grant birthright citizenship makes me feel like we are being taken advantage of. Honestly when it comes to people on valid visas I think the kid should be able to apply for citizenship. People here illegally though…
The US is one of 33 countries with birthright citizenship. Almost every country in North and South America have birthright citizenship. I agree that the system can be abused, but let’s at least get our facts straight
@ All of them. Plenty of other countries offer restricted birthright citizenship, but the vast majority of countries in the Americas have no restrictions. Some countries are adding restrictions (like Colombia and Dominican Republic), but the US rules are inline with the rules in Mexico, Canada, and most other countries in the Americas. These rules were put in place when the colonial powers were attempting to entice people to colonize the New World. They are foundation rules in our countries for that reason. Whether or not we should keep them moving forward is a valid discussion for us to have. The issue with Trump is not what he’s doing but rather how he’s doing it. I think a referendum would make sense instead of a president unilaterally trying to change the rules. If you’re interested in learning more, the technical term for birthright citizenship is jus soli (right of soil) and the alternative is jus sanguinis (right of blood).
Birthright citizenship is explicitly guaranteed to anyone born under the legal "jurisdiction" of the U.S. federal government by the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution (adopted July 9, 1868), which states: 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.

In my opinion, must be removed. A lot of people just fly here to birth and take the benefit while never working or paying taxes. You should put lawsuits against the open border policy.
So what Trump is saying is that legal immigrants are not subject to US jurisdiction and therefore, there is no need for legal immigrants to pay taxes to the US government. Just for reference, Indian diaspora makes 1% of the US population but pays 6% of the taxes (which is ~$300B). So no need now! Thanks Trump! 🎉
Almost no country does this as this is just a crude interpretation of the law that was written for slave at the time. "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" If a child is a dependent would their subject to jurisdiction not coincide with the adult? also why would the framers even put that in there? If it is not meant to be exclusionary then you don't even need it to enforce the law as it currently being enforced.
@@burgetttldid you watch the video? Subject to jurisdiction is present to exclude - diplomats, Native American tribes and invading army (American laws don’t apply to them); to everyone else American law applies as soon as they set foot in the USA.
That's not at all what it means. Legal immigrants who are in the country temporarily absolutely will pay taxes, and then leave. But they should not be able to produce US citizens because they are not permanent residents or citizens. They are subjects of their respective countries. Have allegiance to their country. And are under the jurisdiction of their country. Of course everyone in the US borders is subject to US law, and our courts also have judicial jurisdiction. This has more to do with whether or not they followed our laws entering the country, and whether that is with a temporary visa or permanent residency. Only permanent residents and citizens should be able to produce US citizens.
One commentator pointed out that the current Supreme Court is a "traditionalist" court and that is where those in favor of the way the 14th Amendment is currently interpreted might not like the outcome. If you bother to read the 8 pages of debate about the 14th Amendment at that time, the authors clearly pointed out whom they were talking about.
not true, birthright citizenship has been deemed to be given to anyone who was born on US soil and is NOT a child , of a diplomat. The legal status of their parents is not in question, do your research and look up the case of United States v Wong Kim Ark
That doesn't matter to originalists because they evaluate based on the original intent instead of years of precedent. They are the only court allowed to do that
This is not CHANGING the 14th Amendment. It's simply a re- interpretation of the amendment which has been followed differently over the years but legal scholars are not in agreement. When the Supreme Court interprets such a question they consider the Text and what the Intention was at the Time it was written then there's also the question of the meaning of 'Subject to the Jurisdication of the United States' which could mean Citizen of a different country. So there is no clear outcome of how this will be determined.
@@danielbalcazar2006 Legal experts have also said that being subject to the jurisdication of the US means the subject in question has no allegiance to any other country. The interpretation of how this all will pan out seems pretty unclear.

no where is the world birthright is existing, if you go to Germany, Holland, Greece India. you're born there doesn't mean anything you have citizenship of your parents, Why in US it should be different?
Regardless, the Constitution needs to be changed on this as this is a big reason why people come here illegally! We need to understand that people will do anything for their children to be just born in this great nation and take advantage of the system.
His rationale is sound. You can’t just sneak into a different country and expect your children to get to have the benefits of that land when you aren’t willing to abide by their laws
Birth tourism isn't people who are "sneaking in" it is people who are legally here, who took flights here, they didn't climb the walls on the southern border under cover of night. Birth Tourists stay at fancy hotels, they see the Statue of Liberty, they may even be here under student VISA's. They aren't breaking any laws. Americans do this too, they will go to Germany for example and stay long enough as a literal tourist to have a baby, in a much safer hospital than we have in the US, and the baby is a dual US/German citizen. Americans and Chinese are the two largest groups of birth tourists. Chinese Birth Tourists are often funded by the Chinese government.
The kids are still subject to the jurisdiction they were born on. You don't get to just have power over people's lives while not affording them rights and protections, not without process.

@@TheRadioAteMyTV Are you saying that no US court has jurisdiction to prosecute those people? They can't be arrested / jailed for crimes, only deported?
As WSJ said, Trump can’t directly change the constitution with an executive order. The only way to change the constitution is through a constitutional amendment proposed by Congress or by a constitutional convention called by the states. The process of amending the constitution is lengthy and time consuming because our founding fathers wanted a constitutional amendment to be supported by everyone within the country. They also done it to prevent the Constitution from being changed frequently because they feared that it would end up being a disaster because it could have led to instability.
Trump is anti American
No. He can refuse to issue any recognition to children of illegals born in the country. Then a challenge to read the constitution correctly will lead to a Supreme Court decision. - the right to gun possession is in the constitution but it doesn’t include ailens. -- Birthrate citizenship by soil was done to give all slaves citizenship. That’s it. If children of Ambassadors who are born in US are not citizens, then same logic applies to illegal ailens.
Calling it ending “Birthright” is a misnomer. Citizenship will continue to be bestowed to anyone at the moment of birth, so long they have one parent who is a citizen (which is what happens in every country in the world) but citizenship for birth on soil will be restricted to lawful permanent ailens (who they are on official pipeline to be naturalized).

And now they want them to return to a home where there is nothing left. This has been a common them throughout the major world powers.

It’s all one sentence. If it was purely the right to bear arms it would have left out the Militia part and “well regulated” at that. That being said it could still be interpreted as everyone having their own guns that they can bring along if they are called upon to defend the freedom of the state.
They want the 2nd to be "absolute" even tho in isnt in practice(arguably). If the same is applied to the 14th.... who knows
But why would Americans want people who aren't legally residing in the United states have babies and automatically become Americans -when their parents aren't?!

You are confused, it's not getting rid of birthright citizenship. It's about adding a clause that Illegal Immigrants birthright citizenships are not applied to their children.

1:17 - It's easy to dismiss concerns, as VP Vance did, with "If you're not here permanently..." But I have been living and working legally in the U.S. on an H-1B visa for the past 12 years. By law, I am not a permanent resident, yet I have built a life here. Under Trump's executive order, my yet-to-be-born child due in April would not be granted birthright citizenship. Given the 150-year backlog for Indians in EB-2/EB-3, I will likely remain on H-1B throughout my career. Why should my child suffer along with me?
Update/Edit: I appreciate the concerns and questions in the comments. However, I will no longer respond to discussions about why this is tough/hard, as it's difficult to repeatedly justify the pain. The struggle is real, and I encourage independent research for further inquiries. I don’t believe in playing the victim card (inspired by Munger’s wisdom), but it’s disheartening that the challenges faced by H-1B legal workers-especially those from India-receive so little attention.

@@Mooskittltrue!
JD Vance doesn't even make sense. He says if you dont fall under US jurisdiction then you are not a citizen. A person who does not fall under US jurisdiction would be a person who does not have to abide by US laws nor can be prosecuted by US laws. This throws that argument out the window because the only ones who would fall under this catagory would be those with imunity and diplomats of foreign countries. Moreover, he says that these people do not plan to be here permenantly yet them and their children spend their rest of their lives here working and paying taxes for benefits they will never receive.
If you consider the children of an invading army as an analogy, it’s possible to label illegal occupying migrants as part of an invasion whose children are equally ineligible for citizenship.
@sikeajax "occupying" has a very specific meaning, requiring persons in question to be trained enemy combatants of a foreign nation. Crossing a border into the US DOES NOT mean you are occupying the US.
Under this definition, Marco Rubio should be stripped of his citizenship because his parents would are Cuban refugees
Jurisdiction does not mean what you think it means. Foreigners are subjects of their government, and subject to their jurisdiction. They have allegiance to their country. Only those who have been vetted and legally entered the US with a permanent residence visa are under our jurisdiction, as well as our own citizens. Everyone else is not, especially not illegal aliens. The second definition of "jurisdiction" is "under the control". Tourists and other temporary visitors have consular protections from their governments.
@timothysmith9329 To meet the criteria of birthright citizenship under the 14th amendment you must be (a) born on US soil and (b) under the jurisdiction of the US. Parents on US soil are under the jurisdiction of the US unless they meet specific criteria reserved for those with diplomatic immunity or are enemy combatants. "Allegiance" does not factor in outside of the context of these specific instances. It is clear as day.

it's not a loophole, the phrase "under the jurisdiction" has meaning. It has thus far been incorrectly interpreted. Read the amendment without it, and I think it will mean what you think it means.

This law has never really been that controversial till recently. And even now I don't think people really are that hardcore about changing it.
My kids were born abroad and did not receive automatic citizenship of that country. After 5 years they could apply for citizenship. Why shouldn’t the US adopt a similar approach. It would all but end the deplorable birth right tourism that exists today.
Because not everything has to be the same from your original country. If you have time to watch this youtube, you have time to educate yourself on the constitution. Our founding fathers signed all these rights in 1780.
@ Birthright citizenship in the United States was established by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which was ratified in 1868.
What about the kids that grew up and don’t have any one back in a country they have never been to, who also now have children in the states who have worked and payed taxes to America their entire lives? Not everything is so black and white.
I actually feel like the conservatives have a case to be made here if the people in question could be treated humanely. I don't think guaranteeing citizenship to the child of two illegal immigrants who just put themselves in the right place at the right time so they could circumvent the immigration process is reasonable. The problem is we can't approach this issue with any kind of bipartisan consensus where we'd be able to give undocumented people a reasonable path to citizenship while also forcing them to do everything above board and under the watchful eye of the embassy to ensure that people are being lawful and working out benefit the United States at least as much as their home country. I think most normal people want that middle road where citizenship is something given once people have demonstrated they can be trusted but also that until that time people can live here without being exploited.
Because the US uses a quota system for green cards. You can have an approved green card application and be on a work visa for decades without a green card. If it had a system where after 5 years on a work visa and an approved green card petition you could get a green card that would be a different conversation
So technically Trump is deporting himself?>
The phrase “subject to the jurisdiction” refers to being under the legal authority of the U.S. government, which generally applies to anyone physically present in the country, regardless of immigration status. This includes both documented and undocumented individuals, as well as U.S. citizens and lawful residents. If someone interprets this differently, it may be due to political agendas, a lack of understanding, or personal interests, but the legal meaning remains clear in its broad application to anyone within U.S. borders.
ahah, you omitted another important part, are citizens of states wherein they reside,
so theres a residency requirement, the same way to naturalize you need to reside in the US
@@danielmakinde-v9ktrue and jurisdiction of doesn't only mean subject to US laws as it applies to the 14th according to the framers. It means total allegiance to the US AND being subject to the law.
@@danielmakinde-v9kI think you are misreading the state part. The state part doesn't require anything, it grants them citizenship of the state they are born in (which doesn't really mean anything these days, but that's what it says)
The 14th amendment was originally meant for the children of slaves. The law itself is pretty clear though so I really don't think he can change it.
If those who are here illegally are not subject to the jurisdiction of the US (as the EO argues), then they can murder someone and can’t be prosecuted under US laws.
I’m definitely against baby tourism. My dad’s rental had a tenant in LA. She turned the place into a baby incubator. Soon to be moms would fly there from China. They stayed there weeks before giving birth in America. Then leave after having their babies.
This has been going on for years!!! Shut it down!!!
I always found it odd that two people can cross the border have unprotected sex and pop out a citizen of the USA while tens of thousands wait in line for due process just to be given an appointment for citizenship
Agreed there's a lot of odd things in the USA. But they should have to follow the standard process to change their constitution.
@@BavidDigg The 14th Amendment was for the children of formerly enslaved. Even Native Americans needed the "The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924" to be recognized by the US government as citizens meaning that even they didn't qualify under the 14th Amendment (1866), so how can others???

Also because I feel this might be brought up, the idea of birthright citizenship being a motivator for people to come here is not that much as most people coming here don't intend to leave or leave their children behind.
birth right citizenship is the worst piece of legislation. It just cheapens the concept of citizenship.
14th amendment was for ex slaves.

@@tstcikhthys H1B or F1 (Students) are not part of birth tourism. They will stay in US, pay taxes for years. They are under the US jurisdiction.
@fakeu2122 Everyone's under the US jurisdiction, and everyone pays taxes too (the visitors pay sales tax and property tax by proxy of the rent they pay to stay in the country). But the point is that they're temporary, so why would we be giving their kids citizenship? In fact, I would say even permanent residents' kids shouldn't get it, because we also have a Diversity Immigrant Visa Program that is a lottery for people to just get a green card directly. If at least one of the parents isn't a citizen, then the kids don't automatically become citizens; simple as that. The overwhelming majority of countries in the world work like this.
The kid can be a country of origin citizen and stay with the parents as long as they have the visa, work in us, go through the process of permanent resident then citizenship. The kid will then automatically get a citizenship. Getting a kid is the new way of getting a citizenship for the people on visas. That is plain exploitation.
Where are all of his “but he’s just after immigrant criminals” supporters?

This is ridiculous. A constitutional amendment is the only way.
That is ridiculous. Laws are passed, executive orders are issued, and regulations are created all the time. Clearly you don't understand the law where congress absolutely has the authority to limit rights to some degree. The courts will decide if it's too much. But they generally defer to the elected representatives if it doesn't clearly cross the line. I'd say laws against hate speech go too far. But laws prohibiting inciting riots, threatening, causing mahem, etc. are legitimate limits. As is banning temporary or illegal aliens from being considered "under the jurisdiction":
Update the 14th amendment to give US citizenship to the children of citizen parents or permanent residents. Because, other countries people are misusing our constitution.
If the parents are citizens then there’s no need to add anything extra they would automatically be citizens dummy
The constitution has never mattered to either side
"These are not children who have ties to any other country" - Of course they do, their parents homecountry...
Lol exactly. These people will say anything to play the heartstrings of people.
This is very dangerous because if it happened it can be the first step for them to create more radical laws such as saying that citizens from a particular background e.g. Black Americans, Asian American, Native American or Middle-Eastern American are not entitled to their citizenship because of some random and unlawful reason or accusation.
Also, keep in mind that most of these children that he's talking about, have lived in the United States as Americans for their whole lives and know very little about their parent's homeland, culture and language.
The law was written to assure citizenship rights for newly emancipated Black Americans who were here for generations, not for foreigners in the third trimester to come across the border and have children with the same rights.
It is insane to think they intended for this provision to apply to millions of invaders. No country on earth would allow that.
L take.
All good except they shouldn't have included LEGAL H-1B holders into this. They should clearly define illegals, not all non-immigrants.
Agreed. Legal H1-B workers came to the US legally, have a SSN, follow local laws and also pay taxes
3:24 Most countries recognize citizenship based on parents citizenship, not where you're standing when the birth happens. If their parents are from another country, they have ties by birth to that country through their parents. I had a kid in Germany - he's American by Birthright. My German wife had a daughter in the USA - she's German by Birthright!

That's why at 2:00 Supreme Court ruled in 1890s : at the time of birth, the PARENTS must have PERMANENT DOMICILE or RESIDENCE in the US" to gain the birthright citizenship.
@@Janet1001-X That is NOT what they ruled. The majority opinion was that all persons born on US soil and subject to the jurisdiction of thereof are US citizens. In their ruling, jurisdiction applied at the time of birth regardless of the immigration status of the parents; exceptions applied only to those "who were born to foreign rulers or diplomats, born on foreign public ships, or born to enemy forces engaged in hostile occupation of the country's territory." An exception also applied to Native Americans who were considered sovereign and under the jurisdiction of their tribal lands, but the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 granted citizenship to them afterwards.
@@ThingsRemainUnassigned there's a "BUT" Clause in the ruling. The parents were [LEGAL] PERMANENT RESIDENTS at the time of birth.
United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898), was a landmark decision[4] of the U.S. Supreme Court which held that "a child born in the United States, of parents of Chinese descent, who, at the time of his birth, are subjects of the Emperor of China, BUT HAVE A PERMANENT DOMICILE AND RESIDENCE in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China", automatically became a U.S. citizen at birth.
@ThingsRemainUnassigned I just don't buy a scenario that gave more rights to people here illegally than the native Americans. The people here illegally are subject to the jurisdiction of wherever they came from. Think of jurisdiction as a synonym for nation or kingdom... subjects of the kingdom, meaning citizens.
The comments the senators made when writing the amendment support that interpretation.
@alma09876 The court had remarked during the proceeding that Wong Kim Ark’s parents had at the time “a permanent domicil and residence in the United States,” but SCOTUS did not CONDITION their ruling on this fact in their interpretation of the 14th amendment, they did not make any distinction between legal or non-legal residence. Even so, undocumented immigrants that reside in the US are under the jurisdiction of the US and any child born on US soil would therefore be a US citizen.
This article is extremely miss-leading. A person in the US on a temporary visa is not an immigrant but a non-immigrant. Because they are here TEMPORARILY. If you are here temporarily, why would it make sense to give a newborn child citizenship. What happens when the parents visa expires and they can’t renew it? They go back to their home country but what happens to the child? He goes with them and them has to pay taxes to a country he is not living in when he turns 18. It just doesn’t make sense. If you are a permanent resident though, which only means being here under a green card, you are considered an immigrant and then yes, it makes sense for kids to get it. Because you are not there temporarily anymore. The order does not ban immigrants (permanent residents under the US code), to not have citizenship at birth. But temporary or illigals aliens are not immigrants under the law.
As an international lawyer, I worked for Lloyd’s of London for 17 years. You may not cross a land border, sea or air space without the permission of the nation concerned. Expelling 10 million people to bring them home means crossing one of these borders. If you do this by bus with a capacity of 100 passengers , you will need 100,000 vehicles . By plane with a capacity of 300 passengers, you will need to have a fleet of more than 30,000 aircraft. Understand that it is absolutely impossible for this to happen by violating the borders of a sovereign nation ...which would not, of course, return any of the vehicles used . People who promise, for electoral and populist purposes tell stories , lie to people who would do well to use a calculator ( and their brains ). Finally, I can’t believe that the crews of these tens of thousands of buses , planes , boats will be volunteers , who , if they manage to pass , won’t see their families again for some time .
Trump should also lose citizenship
There's so much case law on this already dating back to the 1800s and it always upholds
There are in fact two previous cases prior to the 1898 case. And yes, they do not agree with the 1898 ruling which was made in direct conflict of what the framers of the 14th intended. Check the writings on the subject it is very clear.
Nah it doesn’t and will be overturned
@davidnealy6459 . . . What "case law"? Can you cite it? And what DID the "framers of the 14th" intend? Can you tell us? Of course you can't because you haven't read the case law, nor do you know what the framers intended. If you do, please share your superior knowledge.
Sure thing
Slaughter-House cases of 1872, the Supreme Court stated that this qualifying phrase was intended to exclude “children of ministers, consuls, and citizens or subjects of foreign States born within the United States.” This was confirmed in 1884 in another case, Elk vs. Wilkins, when citizenship was denied to an American Indian because he “owed immediate allegiance to” his tribe and not the United States.
@ Also to the intent
"Sen. Lyman Trumbull, a key figure in the adoption of the 14th Amendment, said that “subject to the jurisdiction” of the U.S. included not owing allegiance to any other country."

I know many friends coming over to the U.S. for birth tourism. They have birth tourism companies partnering up with hospitals and immigration lawyers. It costs about $20~30K cash. They bring back baby, and that baby gets to pay no tax in America but still gets all the benefit when they come back to the U.S. when they need to go to college with federal aid (well over $30K). And then they will most likely go back to their country afterward. I say we need to fix this.

If a French ambassador commits murder in the United States he cannot be arrested or prosecuted without the permission of his government. He is not subject to our judicial system. If his son commits murder he can be prosecuted no matter where he was born, even though being born in the United States does not confer citizenship to him.
Secondly, hundreds of thousands of children born in the United States after the 14th Amendment was passed did not qualify for citizenship because their parents were American Indians and were deemed subjects of a foreign sovereignty (their tribe). It took two acts of congress to confer citizenship on all American Indians. Clearly the phrase "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" does not mean what this reporter claims it does.
The children born to illegal immigrants can automatically get citizenship in their parent’s country. These children will not be stateless.
Exactly. I'm not sure where this "they'd be stateless" nonsense is coming from. Must be another political talking point.

Trump trying to get rid of his kids
There have been instances where children Russian oligarchs were born in the U.S. and thereby became U.S. citizens through birthright citizenship.
Miami has become a hotspot for Russian birth tourism, where wealthy Russians including those connected to oligarchs or political elites, travel to the U.S. to have their children born there. Companies specialize in helping these individuals navigate the process, including securing tourist visas and arranging for medical care and accommodations.
Even if Russian oligarchs who support Putin, and have kids in the U.S, the kids will get U.S citizenship, because of political views of the parents are not a determining factor.
But they were here legally. Not illegally.
@CHAD-RYAN they were still able to fake travel reasons, and utilize elite medical services to avoid detection.
This is also practiced by some Chinese Communist Party linked figures have also been suspected of engaging in birth tourism to circumvent U.S. immigration laws.
Federal investigations have uncovered criminal networks facilitating birth tourism, particularly in Los Angeles and Miami, where maternity tourism companies have engaged in visa fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering.
It’s almost as if you have enough money, you can get around certain laws. Nah, that’s crazy talk on my part 🤡

The US is one of 33 countries with birthright citizenship. Almost every country in North and South America have birthright citizenship. I agree that the system can be abused, but let’s at least get our facts straight
@@EJBradley How many of those 33 countries extend that right to illegal immigrants as well? I'm not a troll, I'm genuinely curious.
@ All of them. Plenty of other countries offer restricted birthright citizenship, but the vast majority of countries in the Americas have no restrictions. Some countries are adding restrictions (like Colombia and Dominican Republic), but the US rules are inline with the rules in Mexico, Canada, and most other countries in the Americas. These rules were put in place when the colonial powers were attempting to entice people to colonize the New World. They are foundation rules in our countries for that reason. Whether or not we should keep them moving forward is a valid discussion for us to have. The issue with Trump is not what he’s doing but rather how he’s doing it. I think a referendum would make sense instead of a president unilaterally trying to change the rules. If you’re interested in learning more, the technical term for birthright citizenship is jus soli (right of soil) and the alternative is jus sanguinis (right of blood).
Interesting points, I'm curious to see how this unfolds 🧐
Birthright citizenship is explicitly guaranteed to anyone born under the legal "jurisdiction" of the U.S. federal government by the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution (adopted July 9, 1868), which states:
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.

If they are abusive to the u.s. children and mother ... get out.
So what Trump is saying is that legal immigrants are not subject to US jurisdiction and therefore, there is no need for legal immigrants to pay taxes to the US government. Just for reference, Indian diaspora makes 1% of the US population but pays 6% of the taxes (which is ~$300B). So no need now! Thanks Trump! 🎉
Almost no country does this as this is just a crude interpretation of the law that was written for slave at the time. "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" If a child is a dependent would their subject to jurisdiction not coincide with the adult? also why would the framers even put that in there? If it is not meant to be exclusionary then you don't even need it to enforce the law as it currently being enforced.
@@burgetttldid you watch the video? Subject to jurisdiction is present to exclude - diplomats, Native American tribes and invading army (American laws don’t apply to them); to everyone else American law applies as soon as they set foot in the USA.
That's not at all what it means. Legal immigrants who are in the country temporarily absolutely will pay taxes, and then leave. But they should not be able to produce US citizens because they are not permanent residents or citizens. They are subjects of their respective countries. Have allegiance to their country. And are under the jurisdiction of their country. Of course everyone in the US borders is subject to US law, and our courts also have judicial jurisdiction. This has more to do with whether or not they followed our laws entering the country, and whether that is with a temporary visa or permanent residency. Only permanent residents and citizens should be able to produce US citizens.
One commentator pointed out that the current Supreme Court is a "traditionalist" court and that is where those in favor of the way the 14th Amendment is currently interpreted might not like the outcome. If you bother to read the 8 pages of debate about the 14th Amendment at that time, the authors clearly pointed out whom they were talking about.
not true, birthright citizenship has been deemed to be given to anyone who was born on US soil and is NOT a child , of a diplomat. The legal status of their parents is not in question, do your research and look up the case of United States v Wong Kim Ark
That doesn't matter to originalists because they evaluate based on the original intent instead of years of precedent. They are the only court allowed to do that
This is not CHANGING the 14th Amendment. It's simply a re- interpretation of the amendment which has been followed differently over the years but legal scholars are not in agreement. When the Supreme Court interprets such a question they consider the Text and what the Intention was at the Time it was written then there's also the question of the meaning of 'Subject to the Jurisdication of the United States' which could mean Citizen of a different country. So there is no clear outcome of how this will be determined.
If you can be place under detention for any reason then you’re subject to the jurisdiction of the country

His rationale is sound. You can’t just sneak into a different country and expect your children to get to have the benefits of that land when you aren’t willing to abide by their laws
But people are abiding by the laws. This is why they get citizenship because they have to abide by the laws that govern the land.

Birth Tourists stay at fancy hotels, they see the Statue of Liberty, they may even be here under student VISA's. They aren't breaking any laws. Americans do this too, they will go to Germany for example and stay long enough as a literal tourist to have a baby, in a much safer hospital than we have in the US, and the baby is a dual US/German citizen. Americans and Chinese are the two largest groups of birth tourists. Chinese Birth Tourists are often funded by the Chinese government.
The kids are still subject to the jurisdiction they were born on. You don't get to just have power over people's lives while not affording them rights and protections, not without process.
Citizenship must not be a gift.
It's not though
It is and will continue to be so.
Makes sense that Trump would just back another upcoming altcoin like $QARDUN instead of Bitcoin for more profits
