You bring up an interesting, if horribly cruel question: to what extent should children be burdened by the crimes of their parents? If a child is born to two American career criminal parents, should that child be a US citizen, given their likelihood of also becoming a criminal or general blight on society? Since we’re now determining citizenship by an individual’s usefulness, as determined by you. Why not withhold US citizenship from that newborn and ship it off to CECOT? You also offer no data to support your prejudiced claims and, even if the trends are true, when did we start giving out rights from statistical trends? Poor people are more likely to commit violent crimes, thus we should strip citizenship and deport all poor people. That’s your thinking here.
What you’re failing to understand is that this isn’t about welfare. The MAGA candidates you support want to end that for poor Americans, too. This is about creating a permanent underclass of people in the US who can’t vote, have no rights and can be exploited on threat of expulsion at any time and whose children will also have that same dire status. A perfect example of this is that couple in Maryland who had half a dozen illegal immigrants from Guatemala do $10,000 worth of home improvements to their house and then called ICE on them right after they finished the job to avoid paying for the job. You probably think that was a brilliant move, why not take advantage of people in dire circumstances for your own benefit?
Trump’s not going to get there on this one. The 14th Amendment is too plainly written and “subject to the jurisdiction of” has been so clearly understood for over a century, I think this ends up being a 7-2 loss for the administration. When do you want to start impeachment proceedings on ACB, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh when they rule against Trump on this one?
