US President Donald Trump has announced he will soon sign an executive order ending birthright citizenship for babies born on US soil to non-US citizens and illegal immigrants.
In an interview with Axios, the president said the planned executive order aims to “remove the right to citizenship for babies of non-citizens and unauthorized immigrants born on US-soil.”
If it comes to fruition, the executive order would create a heated constitutional debate. The 14th amendment of the US constitution states that anyone who is born on US soil is an American citizen - the amendment does not preclude those born in the US to non-US citizen parents or even parents living in the US illegally.
“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 part of the 14th amendment,
In the interview with Axios, President Trump challenged the provision that has been in place for 150 years, saying “We’re the only country in the world where a person comes in and has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States… with all those benefits,” adding “it’s ridiculous. It’s ridiculous. And it has to end.”
The US Supreme Court has in the past ruled that children born of US permanent residents are US citizens, but has never ruled on those whose parents are in the US illegally or are in the US on temporary visas.

Huyu ndugu yetu kiongozi wa nchi ya Marekani yafaa akumbushwe ya kwamba, nchi ya Marekani ilikuwa na wenyewe kabla majambazi wa kutoka Yuropa kuja na kuichukua nchi ya wenyewe huku wakitumia marisasi na biblia!
Historia ya Marekani inatuambia ya kwamba karibu asilimia tisini (90%) ya wenyenchi wa Marekani waliuawa na walowezi kutoka Yuropa.
Kutumia mabavu kunyakua nchi ya watu na kuifanya nchi yako, si ungwana! Mfumo huu ulifanywa na majambazi kutoka Yuropa halafu wakanyakua Greenland, Canada, Marekani, Mexico, nchi zote za Marekani ya Kati na Kusini, visiwa vyote vya Caribbean, Australia, New Zealand, na visiwa vyote vilivyomo katika bahari ya Pacific.
Majambazi haya kutoka Yuropa yalitawala nchi zote za dunia. Kila nchi ilipigania uhuru kuikomboa nchi yake kutokana na majambazi hawa wa Yuropa. Watu wengi waliuawa huku wakiitetea ardhi ya mababu zao.
Si Wanayuropa wote walinyakua nchi za watu. Majambazi walionyakua nchi za watu kutoka Yuropa ni:
1. Waingereza
2. Wafaransa
3. Wabeljiji
4. Wadanish
5. Wadachi
6. Warusi
7. Waspania
8. Wataliani
9. Wajerumani
10 Wareno (Portuguese)
11 Waarabu hata ingawa hawatoki Yuropa, waligfanya uhalifu uliofanywa na Wanayuropa.
Tulipotawaliwa na majambazi hawa, tulipoteza asili yetu, lugha zetu, majina yetu, mila zetu na hata imani zetu. Hata sasa, wengi wa watu waliotawaliwa wanatumia lugha hizi za kikoloni, pamoja na dini iliyoletwa na watu hawa majumbani mwetu
