This week, President Trump told Axios in an exclusive interview that he plans to sign an executive order to remove the right to citizenship for babies of non-citizens and illegal aliens.
In 2015 candidate Trump claimed he did not need a constitutional amendment to end this practice.
In 2013 295,000 babies were born to unauthorized-immigrant parents making up 8% of all US births that year.
The ‘birth tourism‘ industry in the US exploded; pregnant women from China, Russia, Mexico and other countries are traveling to the US to give birth here in order to cement their citizenship and collect benefits.
As expected, the Democrats are going crazy over the thought of losing their precious, dependent illegal aliens.
The 14th Amendment wasn’t designed to give babies of illegal aliens born on US soil American citizenship.

On Wednesday morning, President Trump vowed to end birthright citizenship for illegal aliens.
“This case will be settled by the United States Supreme Court!” Trump said.
TRUMP: So-called Birthright Citizenship, which costs our Country billions of dollars and is very unfair to our citizens, will be ended one way or the other. It is not covered by the 14th Amendment because of the words “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Many legal scholars agree…..

TRUMP: ….Harry Reid was right in 1993, before he and the Democrats went insane and started with the Open Borders (which brings massive Crime) “stuff.” Don’t forget the nasty term Anchor Babies. I will keep our Country safe. This case will be settled by the United States Supreme Court!

The hypocrisy from the left is astounding.
The same Democrats screeching about ending the Second Amendment are claiming the 14th Amendment is off limits.
