Under your theory, so is the orange turd... his grandfather came here to escape military service in his home country of Germany (yes, the Vietnam stuff has its own stench).
Presumably by "she is a birthright citizen" the reporter means "she is a citizen under the 14th amendment *only*" and not the completely unremarkable "she is a citizen by right of the circumstances of her birth", which is really what "birthright" means. (and applies to ~all citizens not naturalized)
“It feels like I’m meeting a historic moment both for so many families who might be affected by the executive order, but also for all Americans. This administration is really attacking a foundation stone of American life.”
We are all, all, all birthright citizens, frankly. If we lose this there is not telling how far back they will go to strip people of citizenship. Grandparents coming here in 1899 will not be far enough back, if they are now considered the wrong kind of person.
I keep wondering if they were actually to do away with birthright citizenship, how exactly do they plan to decide which babies can be citizens and which can’t? Sounds to me like it would be a huge bureaucratic mess and probably racist as well.
I'm assuming it would be hugely racist. An example. I know a lady whose parents are Ukrainian and Polish who moved to US in early 1970s, and she was born in LA. So would that mean she could be asked to leave? Probably not. Why? She's white. Watch that happen if it passes. Truly sickening.
