Judge Nap tells which part of Trump's immigration plan is NOT Constitutional

• Prison Planet

Speaking to Fox News' "American Newsroom" on Monday, Napolitano said that while some of Trump's promises on immigration would be easy for the real estate mogul to implement if he became president, other aspects of his proposal would prove to be more problematic – with some initiatives even requiring a Constitutional amendment.

Describing automatic citizenship for children born to illegal aliens as "the biggest magnet" for illegal immigration, Trump has promised to deport not only individuals who come to the country illegally, but also their U.S. born children.

Napolitano said that unlike some other promises – such as rescinding Obama's executive orders granting amnesty to certain illegals – Trump's plan to bring an end to the policy known as "birthright citizenship" doesn't quite pass Constitutional muster.

I respectfully disagree with Judge Nap. As I understand it, the 14th Amendment provision for citizenship of those born in USA was enacted SPECIFICALLY to give citizenship to the children of slaves brought over from Africa. International law and long tradition assigns the citizenship of children, no matter where they are born, to be the same as that of their parents at the time of birth. Present-day so-called "anchor babies" justly have the same citizenship as their parents, not some "progressive-inspired" twisting of the intent of the amendment. Anchor babies are NOT justly citizens of the USA. They are Mexicans, Guatamalans, Canadians, Uruguayans, etc. Let's abandon and not condone the effort to increase Democrat registration.
