Appeals Court Blocks President Trump’s Birthright Citizenship EO


It looks like the courts aren’t going along what President Donald Trump when it comes to birthright citizenship.

A federal appeals court just shot down his push to reinstate a ban on granting citizenship to kids born in the U.S. unless their parents are legal residents.

Civil rights groups call it unconstitutional.

So, for now, these activist are hiding behind the 14th Amendment.

But this fight isn’t over.

AND technically these activist are misquoting the 14th Amendment as they use it as a shield.

Read it yourself:

It says it doesn’t include persons born from aliens.

Does it make sense that two illegals can make one citizen?

The Guardian reports:

A federal appeals court in San Francisco denied the Trump administration’s request to reinstate a ban on birthright citizenship.

Donald Trump signed an executive order on his first day in office that ordered an end to birthright citizenship for children for whom neither parent is a US citizen or legal permanent resident.

Birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the 14th amendment to the constitution. Civil rights groups argue an end to birthright citizenship would create a “permanent underclass” of stateless people denied basic protections.

The appeals court denied the administration’s request for an emergency appeal, saying that the justice department has not made a strong case that it would succeed on merits. A concurring opinion written by a Trump-appointed judge said the administration had not convinced her it was an emergency.

“It is routine for both executive and legislative policies to be challenged in court, particularly where a new policy is a significant shift from prior understanding and practice,” wrote judge Danielle Forrest.

Try though they may, this birthright citizenship will end.

President Trump will see to it.

These people don’t want to become Americans, they want to take advantage of Americans.
