Will the GOP go after birthright citizenship once the Supreme Court is stacked in their favor?

[Cave Savage]

Trump can potentially give the Supreme Court a 7/2 conservative/liberal split. If he is successful in this, do you think the GOP will make it their agenda to go after jus solis (birthright citizenship)?

I haven't seen people talk about this really but I do think that's something they would try to do. Their agenda has been reducing immigration (especially low income immigrants) and a common conservative talking point I've seen is that birthright citizenship should be done away with to reduce the amount of illegal immigrants coming to the US to have "anchor babies".

If they try to do this there will blood in the streets.

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

Interesting, I wonder myself if the resistance would be that intense

They've officially proven that with this Kavanaugh nomination. Only 1 out of 51 Republicans took it seriously

This basically writes off millions of Americans whose parents aren't citizens. That means legal and illegal. Im telling you the backlash would very intense that there will be blood in the streets.

I wouldn't put it past them.

They're already doing this to Mexicans and other minority groups and no one cares.


Idk why you guys are sleeping on the ICE thread.

That among other things. Birthright citizenship will probably be the first one they go after. America is reverting back to the 50's on sone Jim Crow shyt. Laws are about to change and fukkery will ensue. Buckle up.

That would mean a third of the US population is at risk of deportation. Especially if it also implicates grandparents or any relatives who didn’t get birth right citizenship. Good luck trying to deport millions of them without a fight. There would chaos and bloodshed if that were to happen. Hell blue states like New York and Cali will nullify the Courts decision. Could lead to a constitutional crisis.

I’d expect New York and Cali to threaten secession if they try going after people in this manner.

Actually I take back my previous post
I could see something like this happening
The GOP keeps pushing harder and harder and the public finally snaps
Every victory makes them more confident until they go too far
