BREAKING: A federal judge just issued a new nationwide block against Trump’s EO seeking to end birthright citizenship. Another loss for Trump. Another win for the Constitution. If you are born in America you are a citizen. It’s literally in the Constitution.
The 14th Amendment says “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” for a reason. That doesn’t include foreign nationals who are here illegally or just passing through. The Constitution doesn’t mandate citizenship tourism. That’s an activist interpretation layered on top of the text, not in it.
@TechSignalsonX If they aren’t subject to our jurisdiction then ICE has no authority over them. That argument just fell apart epically.
@EdKrassen we don’t give birthright citizenship to the kids of foreign diplomats, even though they’re born here. Why? Because they’re not under full U.S. jurisdiction. Same applies to illegal aliens. That’s not an “epic fail” , that’s literally the precedent.
Exactly — and that tiny diplomat carve-out actually proves the rule. Kids of foreign diplomats skip citizenship only because their parents aren’t subject to U.S. law at all. Everyone else on U.S. soil — documented, undocumented, tourist, stow-away — is under our courts’ jurisdiction, so their U.S-born kids are citizens. Period.
@EdKrassen If illegal immigrants are “under our jurisdiction,” why do sanctuary cities refuse to hand them over to ICE? You can’t have it both ways. Either they’re truly part of our legal system—or they aren’t. Citizenship should require more than crossing a line and giving birth.
@TechSignalsonX @EdKrassen Uh oh, you hit him with facts. So he will no longer comment
@TechSignalsonX @EdKrassen Diplomats are legally exempt from U.S. law, that’s why their kids don’t get citizenship. But undocumented immigrants can be jailed, deported, sued, clearly under our jurisdiction. Sanctuary cities don’t erase that, they just don’t do ICE’s job for them.
@TechSignalsonX @EdKrassen Because of the 10th Amendment, its the federal giv job, not thay states.
@TechSignalsonX @EdKrassen Main reasoning. ICE and DHS isn't going through due process.
@TechSignalsonX @EdKrassen The broad answer: Immigration enforcement is solely a federal power. When the federal government requests that a local jurisdiction perform duties that are not their responsibility, states have a right to say "no". Esp if they're not getting compensation for the extra work.
@TechSignalsonX @EdKrassen Wow, truly moronic statement local police and federal agents are completely different things.
@TechSignalsonX @EdKrassen Gonzo, with tail between the legs.
@TechSignalsonX @EdKrassen Ever heard of states rights?
@TechSignalsonX @EdKrassen FeDEraL judge ruled, LMAO
@TechSignalsonX @EdKrassen Notice ole @EdKrassen stopped replying once he got 1:1’d 😂😂😂
@TechSignalsonX @EdKrassen Because we’re talking about the U.S. constitution and immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility.
@TechSignalsonX @EdKrassen Ed? Ummm Ed? Oooooooo Ed!!!?
@TechSignalsonX @EdKrassen If they would not be under US jurisdiction, they could bot be illegal
@TechSignalsonX @EdKrassen Ed is just a wimpy keyboard warrior and a skinny boy.
@TechSignalsonX @EdKrassen Don't go using logic... you'll scare him off.
