I think that even Donald Trump would be hesitant to say that some people born here are not subject to our laws.

"Born here to two illegal parents? Well, the bad news is you ain't a citizen. The good news is we can't prosecute you for anything!"



Well, we can't prosecute you, but we CAN relocate you to the Aleutians or use you for medical experiments.

That happens when they only partially give birth.

Not necessarily.

Btw, there is a huge difference between a first trimester D&C and the fourth trimester termination practiced by the guy in Philadelphia. Treating the two as interchangeable is disingenuous.

it's a silly argument if the reality is actually

"we can't prosecute you, or protect you, for/from anything"

Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

But it was a snappy response.

The Donald wants to eliminate birthright citizenship. Christie, Paul and Graham agree. Since that is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment, it would require another amendment to eliminate it.

there will be much discussion about this

Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.

The clear bias of that source is apparent both in its own self-description and in the sentence: "And the frequently-cited language in Plyler v. Doe (1982)—a 5-4 decision written by the notorious activist Justice William Brennan, hardly a credible authority".
