Walker (and others) join Trump, calling for ending birthright citizenship

The practice of birthright citizenship goes back to the beginning of the country, i.e., it was implicitly enshrined by the Founding Fathers. I don't see it becoming a litmus test.

Will this require a constitutional amendment??

Yes. It would require repealing the Fourteenth Amendment.

Birthright citizenship is a relic from colonial times. It has no place in modern-day America.

Your trolling has gone too far, unless you seriously intend to argue that I should not be a citizen, considering that neither of my parents had been naturalised when I was born, or consider me "foreign spawn".

So, has it been discussed who this would target? are current anchor babies (like me) born in 1987 grandfathered in? lol Both my parents never actually became U.S. Citizens.

I doubt it would strip citizenship from anyone who already has it.

Frankly, at this point the preponderance of evidence seems to be that Trump's objective here is screwing the GOP and helping Hillary.

Personally, I agree. I mean, it's public knowledge Trump is running with Bill Clinton's personal blessing. Come on!
