Maryland Sues Trump Over Ending Birthright Citizenship

Eighteen states, including Maryland, are challenging President Donald Trump's new executive order ending birthright citizenship in the United States.

“Birthright citizenship is a right enshrined in our Constitution,” said Attorney General Anthony G. Brown. “It is a reflection of our country’s ideals, a belief that every baby born on U.S. soil is a member of our great nation and deserves to play a part in its future. Ending birthright citizenship is un-American, and our Office will vigorously challenge this blatantly unconstitutional decision in court.”

Brown is taking part in a lawsuit, led by New Jersey, that seeks to block Trump's order from taking effect, saying it violates a constitutional right that has been in existence for more than 150 years.

Birthright citizenship means anyone born in the U.S. is a citizen, regardless of their parents’ immigration status. Since the end of the Civil War when the United States adopted the Fourteenth Amendment, the U.S. Supreme Court has twice upheld birthright citizenship regardless of the immigration status of the baby’s parents. - Gaithersburg Patch

It will be interesting to follow this case. I wonder if alternative regulations might satisfy the President's objectives.

I have mixed feelings about this law.  I understand what Trump is doing, I think.  And if my thoughts are right, I agree with him.  

But now sure how I feel about the birthright stuff.

Thank you for sharing Roy Kelley

Unrestricted birthright citizenship should absolutely be eliminated.

Why do some want to give all these extra benefits and rights to ILLEGALS?

To me it's just absolutely ridiculous!
