Trump v Babies

[struggle4progress]

3. Trump's suggestion is idiotic. Huge numbers migrated to the US

between the wars in the 1920s and 30s. Many lived here for the rest of their lives and raised families here. Not all became citizens before having children. So the Trump rule would strip citizenship from many elderly people who always thought themselves citizens. A number of them are likely to have married similar children of immigrants, so there are likely to be a group of people born in the 40s and 50s who thought they were citizens but won't be because both their parents were children of non-citizens.

It;'s a damnably-stupid ideokogically-motivated and mean-spirited rule that tears at the fabric of America
