This is the coded language of the white extremist movement.
The dolt wants to eliminate the birthright rule to American citizenship.
Donald J. Trump had an interview with Axios Media.
His goal is to eliminate the right to establish citizenship to babies born to non-citizens and undocumented immigrants. He referred to the children of migrants a bunch of "anchor babies."
He wants to roll back the 14th Amendment through executive order.
Trump doesn't have the authority to change the rule. It won't stop him from changing the rule of law. He wants to invent a rule and enact it.
The migrant caravan has become the talking point of the right. Trump is hoping that the caravan of people fleeing turmoil in Central America has become a political issue.
The right has seized on it and hope to get their voters out to the polls.
The considering of an executive order to remove the right to citizenship for babies born in the U.S. to parents who aren’t citizens ― a right enshrined in the 14th Amendment that could likely be changed only through a constitutional amendment. That means about 2/3 of the states must ratify an amendment.
Trump said in an interview with “Axios on HBO” taped Monday that he could execute the change via executive order.
“It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what? You don’t,” Trump said. “You can definitely do it with an act of Congress. But now they’re saying I can do it just with an executive order.”
He said the right awarded to babies born as birthright Americans is “ridiculous,” and the system “has to end.”
Trump also falsely stated that the U.S. is “the only country in the world” that offers citizenship to those born here. More than 30 nations, including Canada and Mexico, have similar policies.
Such a move would overstep the president’s authority, according to most experts. All babies born in the U.S. are American citizens under the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which cannot be changed by presidential order. It would also dramatically reshape the U.S. ― effectively punishing the children of undocumented immigrants, whom Trump has vowed to remove from the country.
The renewed vow to end birthright citizenship comes just a week before the midterm elections and at the same time as a broader crackdown on unauthorized immigrants.
An executive order challenging birthright citizenship would ensure a legal battle.
“The president cannot erase the Constitution with an executive order, and the 14th Amendment’s citizenship guarantee is clear,” said Omar Jadwat, director of the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project. “This is a transparent and blatantly unconstitutional attempt to sow division and fan the flames of anti-immigrant hatred in the days ahead of the midterms.”
The Republicans are using the same old tired playbook given to them by Rush Limbaugh, Sean "Softball" Hannity, The Drudge Report, Fox News and Breitbart. They are fully engaged in the culture war.
The Republican Party is accepting white extremism within its ranks.
The Republican Party has control of the White House, Congress, state governorships and the junk food media. Why are they complaining about the obstruction from the Democrats? You keep complaining about the junk food media. They are holding you accountable for the racism, anti-Semitic, anti-LGBTQ, anti-immigrant and climate change denial rhetoric.
C'mon folks, the Republican Party isn't doing anything to help Americans. They've been in favor of the "status quo" and "white male privilege."
They control almost everything.
They won't if we don't get our asses out to vote this Midterm. The price is too great to allow Trump continue the course he's going.
The Republicans are going to win on the culture war. We can stop them if we get off our asses and vote this Midterm election.
