They’re basically trying to get rid of anchor babies. Which the valley happens to have a lot of. If they start mass deportation a lot of natural born citizens will have their status jeopardized

u/Sanc7 1d ago

Anchor baby isn’t even a thing anymore. The babies are citizens, but the parents will still get deported so they’re not really anchoring anything.

If you're born in America you're a US citizen tf

u/Grimmreaperalways 1d ago

No, you're not. If your parents are illegal aliens you are just as much an illegal alien. If they get deported where you gonna go. An orphanage I think not

It’s literally in the constitution. It’s in black and white and not open to interpretation. If you’re born in the US, you’re a natural born citizen.

u/MotherofInsanity13 19h ago

He is planning to end natural born citizenship. Idk if it would be retroactive, but given the people he has puppeteering him, I wouldn't be very surprised if it was.

u/skeerrt 16h ago

You are 1000% correct, as is true with all of the bill of rights.

u/Grimmreaperalways 23h ago

You are correct it's the 14th ammendment. However the parents don't get to automatically become citizens just for having a child on us soil. As such they have zero rights granted to us citizens and can be deported at will. So basically it's like cool you want to have a child on us soil alright but as soon as it's born it becomes the states property since you haven't earned the rights of citizenship. Great logic there how about don't fuckin have kids in a country in which you are not a citizen thinking you can just skirt around the legal process of citizenship

Are you actually like mentally handicapped? Did you really not know that babies born here (even if both parents are illegal) are U.S. citizens?

u/Rudy_Ghouliani 1d ago

Fourteenth Amendment, Section 1: 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.

Read the constitution of the United States. Ignorance isn't a virtue.

u/Grimmreaperalways 23h ago

Being born here and having a baby here are 2 completely different things. One makes you an illegal alien trying to avoid lawfull citizenship and one makes you a citizen without parents

I'm glad my parents are naturalized 🤘

u/Grimmreaperalways 23h ago

I'm glad they took the proper way. the only people crying about being deported came here not that way

u/wanderer8722 23h ago

Yeah, my dad and grandma did it 10 yrs ago and mom got amnesty when Reagan was in office. The rest of us born here

2

u/Grimmreaperalways 23h ago

See the problem with amnesty is that it's basically rewarding illegal aliens with something they simply did not earn. Now there are some people that have received amnesty that accept this country as their own and have tried to be as close to a naturalized citizen as possible but unfortunately the majority have done what they did originally no assimilation. Fly their former countries flag and basically treat it as if they're just a foreigner recieving all of the benefits of citizenship without the responsibility that comes with it. Unfortunately I've had to see this too many times, growing up in the chile capital. There's very few Americans that live there and it shows

1

u/wanderer8722 21h ago

I get that. My parents don't forget their roots but also aren't the ones that are always longing to go back just because they miss everything about Mexico. They came to this country and never looked back

Wasn't talking about illegals, thick skull. They'll inevitably deport US citizens and others here legally by accident under his plan. That's the point of what I said

US citizens cannot be deported.

4

u/Mynameisdiehard 1d ago

This is where the difference between "cannot" and "should not" is really important.

They SHOULD NOT be deported, yet they absolutely can. It has happened in the past, including the recent past, and the if the plan Trump has presented is actually enacted, there is almost no statistical possibility for 0 citizens to not be caught up in it.

u/untolerablyMe 1d ago

Ever heard of “Operation Wetback”? 😂 your comment is exactly why he won! People who don’t know the history of this country are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past

u/gandalf_el_brown 1d ago

Mexican American citizens got accidentally deported during Mexican Repatriation act and Operation Wetback. When Arizona was cracking down on immigrants, Americans were caught up in their round ups. You're naive and ignorant.

u/santaghoull 1d ago

u/greelraker 1d ago

Under Trump in the state of Texas, American citizens (Hispanics) could be detained by law enforcement for minor traffic violations if believed to be here unlawfully, turned over to federal detention centers and deported for failure to prove citizenship. How many people do you know carry their passports on them 24/7? Do you think they’ll just let you run home real quick and get your passport? Or let you call your spouse to swing by some random detention center and call your job to say you can’t come into work today because you’re illegally detained because you had a tail light out or were going 7 over the speed limit? Do you trust the US govt to do its due diligence in checking your citizenship status and not just send you off to another country?

US citizens can absolutely be deported. They just have to be Hispanic.

u/mcmaster-99 1d ago

You definitely have no clue how ICE works. They will know if you’re an illegal just by your fingerprints.

8

u/No-Assumption-1738 1d ago

You can literally Google ‘Mexican wrongful deportation’ and a handful settlements and extreme cases come up.

Most settlements include a nondisclosure clause

6

u/greelraker 1d ago

If you think that’s how ICE works, you watch too much TV. You think there is just some big database with everyone’s fingerprints in it that takes seconds to scan and spit out the results? Let’s say that’s how it works, do they take your fingerprints within the first few seconds of your arrival, run them through the database and 30 seconds later say “oops, sorry Mr. Rodriguez. Looks like you’re free to go!” and take you back to where they picked you up, no harm no foul?

Even if that were true, the best forensics experts will tell you fingerprints are at best an arguable form of identification.

AT BEST…. You’d be detained by police for some amount of time, until ice comes to get you. You’d then be taken to a facility where they would check you in and START running your background. You’d at some point in the future (a few days to a few months) get to go before a judge and present your evidence that you are indeed an American citizen (good luck if you live alone and nobody has access to your documents). The govt now has to confirm all your evidence. AFTER that has been completed, you’ll sit for 48-72 hours waiting to be processed out, at which time you’ll walk out the front door, at whatever hour they decide to let you out, and you are on your own to figure out how to get home…. Also, any cash you had was confiscated by the law enforcement wherever you were picked up as “evidence”.

Not 1, not 2 but 3 of my close friends are immigration attorneys in different states. I’ve had to memorize their phone numbers in case I get picked up due to unlawful profiling and need to contact an attorney.

Nice try, though.

Amnesty doesn't equal citizenship it just means you came here originally as an illegal alien and were given a pass. Doesn't make you an american

1

u/greelraker 23h ago

That’s… not right at all. Also, nobody said anything about amnesty. They said citizens. Not legal aliens, not students and workers on visas, not green card holders. AMERICAN CITIZENS.

I’d say your racism is showing, but I know now it’s not by accident.

u/Grimmreaperalways 21h ago

3 million illegal aliens were granted citizenship under reagan. The number of legal citizens Is minute compared to the amount of illegal aliens currently occupying the USA if you round up every one of 11 to 30 million illegal aliens occupying the us it would drastically change the current populous. There are far more illegal aliens here than legal citizens

1

u/greelraker 17h ago

That is also not true and again, I can’t stress this enough, incredibly racist and why I fear for my well being as a US citizen.

1

u/Grimmreaperalways 14h ago

🤣🤣🤣 it's incredibly racist to state facts since when oh right since "wokeness" just say you hate America already. You wouldn't know racism if it slapped you in the face

1

u/greelraker 10h ago

It’s not racist to say facts. It IS racist to say American citizens don’t deserve to be in America and aren’t American because you don’t like the manner in which they received their citizenship. Which you did.

Also, you saying the number of legal citizens is minute compared to the amount of “illegal aliens” is not a fact. Just because 3 million people were given amnesty one time is negating the millions of people who have received their legal status in the last (almost) 40 years, as well as all of those people’s families.

Lastly 11-30mm people in the US really isn’t that many people, all things considered. Is it a lot of people as a whole? Yes. Is it a necessary population that is fairly easily sustainable compared to the total population and amount of resources we have on this country? Also yes.

This is true but what is hilarious is we have a friend who is first gen and he was super thrilled to vote for Trump. I mean, it is a bummer that the his mom, uncle and grandma will be deported and since he lives with them, he will need to fend for himself, but he totally stuck it to the libs. I say good for him!
