WSJ: Trump Wants to Curb Birthright Citizenship, Escalating Immigration Debate
In an interview published Tuesday morning, just ahead of next week’s midterms, Mr. Trump said he planned an executive order to end what is known as birthright citizenship, bypassing Congress and waving off the belief of many legal scholars that such a move would require a change to the Constitution.
“It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional
amendment. Guess what? You don’t,” he told Axios. “It’s in
the process. It’ll happen, with an executive order.”
As president I can do what I like.
Because if I
can't. . .where's the fun?
I can, if I want, have someone shot,
then charge them
for use of the gun.
I learned all this stuff from
my boy, Stephen Miller.
(He reminds me so
much of Roy Cohn.)
Although he
resembles a serial killer,
he's more like a
Mafia don.
Steve, when he's near, fills folks with fear.
Like my boy Roy, his smile is a sneer.
Two of a kind. My kinda guys.
Don'cha just love their really dead eyes?

NYT: Trump Attacks Ryan, Who Scoffed at Birthright Citizenship Plan (Paywall)
In a Twitter post on Wednesday, Mr. Trump presented his own legal argument: “It is not covered by the 14th Amendment because of the words ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof,’ ” . . .
With judges who say corporations are people,
then rule people need homes full of guns,
there’s no reason to think undoing amendments
won’t be considered great fun.
Our GOP's quick on the draw to hold up uphold the law.
(Sweetest damned thing that you ever saw!)
We'll fix what is wrong. People will cheer.
And Brett Kavanaugh can have him a beer.
