noun: birthright citizenship
a legal right to citizenship for all children born in a country's territory, regardless of parentage.

    In an interview that Donald Trump gave back in mid-August he talked about one of his favorite issues to knock: birthright citizenship. If you have been following Trump’s presidency campaign you will very well know that Donald Trump very much despises immigrants. Trump wants to deport all these immigrants but then also letting the “good ones” have an easier return process. In class we watched a movie about those living in the Dominican Republic who if they were even slightly of Haitian descent then they were deported back to Haiti. In the movie they interviewed those who had to go to Haiti and they said how horrible it would be and they don’t even know their family there or anything about there. They also talked about how much that would uproot them from their lives here: leaving friends, leaving school, leaving their house, leaving their jobs, etc. This very much would show what it would be like to deport those in the U.S. and even if Trump let back in the “good ones” then it would be hard for them to pick up their lives once they already got torn up out of it.
    Trump also believes that the concept of birthright citizenship is the biggest magnet for illegal immigration. He truly believes that these immigrants are viscously having children here just so they can take advantage of this birthright citizenship. He believes building up walls will be what keeps these “criminal aliens” out. Although Trump probably believes that this idea of his is the best since sliced bread, many are quick to knock his far right idea on this issue. Fellow republican, Chris Christie, basically calls it unoriginal and then says he has never seen a wall be put up that humans can’t get around. On the other hand, our very own Senator Jeff Sessions applauded Trump and thought his idea was magnificent.
    Also wanted to note that this was a Fox News report and it read like a SNL skit bashing Trump so I think that should go for something as well.
