Quote:So Walker and Trump agree that being born in the USA should not make you a citizen.  

 

Walker tried to walk back the idea....  http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-...tizenship/

 

But is this something that republicans think is a good idea?  I personally think getting rid of birth right citizenship is not a good idea for many reasons...

 

I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on this first...

 

As soon as I read your question I knew exactly where you are going with this.   :thumbsup:   I do disagree with your statement that "republicans think this is a good idea" though.  Some my think that, but not all.

 

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

 

We can't decide which parts of The Constitution we should enforce and which parts we should not.
