'A federal appeals court ruled against President Trump on Friday, barring the administration from ending birthright citizenship.
The three-judge panel on the First Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a district court injunction that barred the administration from enacting a January executive order, signed by the president, that would curtail birthright citizenship.
The lessons of history thus give us every reason to be wary of now blessing this most recent effort to break with our established tradition of recognizing birthright citizenship and to make citizenship depend on the actions of ones parents rather than in all but the rarest of circumstances the simple fact of being born in the United States, the court wrote in the 100-page ruling.
The federal appeals court in Boston became the latest court to say that the presidents push to end birthright citizenship, which states that anyone born in the U.S. are citizens regardless of their parents immigration status, is likely unlawful.'

(7,454 posts)Wish people would remember that Trump rented & sold some FL condos to RUSSIANS who then brought pregnant Russian women who were near term to stay in those condos, give birth here, so babies would have dual citizenship and US passports. Then took them back to Mother Russia to be raised and educated there. It was a money maker for Trump and ensure Putin of a bunch of children who could travel or move to the US. A scam to raise little spies they could send here with impunity.
