Supreme Court curbs injunctions that blocked Trump's birthright citizenship plan

24. I still don't see a link to a source.

But never mind, I'll check it out myself when I get a chance. This info is completely new to me. Not the fact that people deliberately come here from other countries to give birth here, but the (implied) idea that this is somehow a threat to our country.

As far what you have said about your credentials, I appreciate the info, but you must realize I have no way of verifying them. Nothing personal, it's just that on the internet, everyone is a perfect stranger until proven otherwise. I've been active on line since the mid 90s and have learned that it's always advisable to take what any unfamiliar person says about themself with a grain of salt. Again, nothing personal.

I see from your DU profile that you've been a member for almost a year, but this is the first time I've run into one of your posts, so you are a stranger to me at this point (as, I assume, I am to you).

One thing you should know about DU is that it's customary to provide a source (preferably including a link) when citing information that others may not be familiar with, unless it's obviously common knowledge (e.g., "Trump is president of the United States" ). This is particularly true in the case of anything that might be considered controversial. Since part of what you posted was unfamiliar to me and sounded like a possible attack on immigrants, it set off my "citation needed" alarm bells. If you did not mean it as an attack on immigrants, I stand corrected.

I know there are women who come here just to give birth and go home, but imo, that is is an entirely separate issue from that of babies born to people actually living here (documented or not). In both cases, however, what the Constitution says about birthright citizenship still stands, and only an amendment to the Constitution can change that.
