I honestly didn't know this was a thing?
But you're a citizen here if you're born here.

I did not say that I made a statement of fact.
I rarely give a political opinion cuz I don't find fighting on the internet for hours that much fun.
I leave that for others

My neighbor was a fireman, he told me that they used to deliver these babies all the time.
The people would call 911 because they didn't have insurance or any prenatal care, they would deliver the baby and then an ambulance ride to the hospital.
Guess who gets to pay for that?

The United States remains one of the most sought-after destinations for birth tourism in 2026, largely due to its constitutional protection of jus soli, or birthright citizenship. Under the 14th Amendment, any child born on US soil, regardless of the parents’ nationality or legal status, is automatically granted US citizenship.

@beckyromero I think what I meant was that the child’s PARENTS could still be deported and, by extension, the child.

And I meant EXACTLY what I said:
"A natural born American citizen can NOT legally be deported."

I would have a problem with it. Which is why I am glad it is so difficult to amend the Constitution.
If the votes in Congress and the state legislatures (for ratification) were there to strip out that Amendment, there would be votes to strip out other rights Americans take for granted. It wouldn't be America any more.
I wouldn’t have a big problem with an end or redefining of birthright citizenship - so long as it went through the constitutional amendment process.

@beckyromero thinking about this further - i see your point. The amendment process is difficult and I thought that if it passed that then the vast majority of americans and states want to change birthright citizenship and that is why we have an amendment process. Then I thought about prohibition…

@Midlifemale do you not understand the 14th amendment is the law of the land? SCOTUS just reconfirmed that fact!
