    > Subsection (a) of this section shall apply only to persons who are born within the United States after 30 days from the date of this order.

    Well, at least they aren't trying to enforce this retroactively.

    Birthright citizenship is one of those things that I thought was with us since the beginning. Turns out I was wrong.

    Isn't this something Congress would have to pass a law on? EO's can be overturned by the next President.

    What garbage, what absolute filth. What an embarrassment to our nation.

    Pretty sure the courts are going to strike this one down. Like Biden’s FTC, Trump’s immigration proclamations are going to go nowhere fast.

    Trump issued an executive order ending birthright citizenship in America.

    Every Trump related post today is being flagged. Where's the editorial oversight here, @dang?

    Very few countries have birthright citizenship (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli). I still find it to be a strange concept. It seems like in the US, birthright citizenship isn’t granted in the constitution or laws directly but was the result of a court ruling, which is extra strange. I’m not sure if this is the right way to go about it, but I think removing it is the right direction to have a sense of sovereignty and make citizenship meaningful.
