YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBirthright citizenship is not a presidential permission slip.
In today’s Opening Argument, Tony Michaels tells the story of a barbershop just outside Atlanta, Georgia, where three American stories collide: one family from Ireland, one family brought here in chains, and one American born here to parents from Haiti.
The question is simple, but dangerous:
Who gets to decide who belongs?
Donald Trump’s attempt to challenge birthright citizenship was not just an immigration fight. It was a test of whether a president can narrow the protection of the Fourteenth Amendment by executive order.
The Constitution already gives the answer:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.”
The debate is legitimate.
The shortcut is not.
No president gets to stand over the Fourteenth Amendment with an eraser. Citizenship is not something granted by presidential approval. It is a constitutional promise.
