For a nation that was basically developed from immigrants due to exploration and promised opportunities, you would think that birthright citizenship should always be followed. It is quite obvious that in today's society, "citizenship" can easily be stripped even when there is clear and evident proof of legislation that a child has been born within the United States; even if one of the parents is a legal US citizen and the other is not or vice versa there is a higher chance that families will be separated. How is it fair to justify or strip someone's citizenship away from them by comparing the generational lineage of a family's previous history of residency? In my mind, I find that this practice is much more difficult to deal with then just helping undocumented become documented, but that's just me.
According to 14th Amendment, all people who have been born within the United States are automatically considered to have citizenship. So, you mean to tell me that the 14th Amendment can be overthrown and allows for someone's birthright citizenship to be denied when it clearly states that anyone born within this nation is a citizen by default? You also mean to tell me that families are subject to be broken up because of the lack of appropriate documentation to justify the parents American citizenship which negates their child's eligibility? I do not think that the people who are following out with these ridiculous orders regarding border patrol or immigration realize how detrimental these practices can be. They are depriving people of family and opportunities that they did not have before coming over; at the end of the day, these are human beings. They deserve the right to be entitled to seek opportunities and allowed to become productive citizens of society as. Yet again, United States continues to fall short of their promises.
