This won’t happen – it’s just a way to get his bigots riled up for the midterms.
The founders set up the constitution so the president can’t do what he’s proposing to do with birthright citizenship. It’s a stunt, like sending the troops to a border for a non-existent invasion.

Clarification: Legal scholars broadly agree the 14th Amendment's language covers children of undocumented immigrants, and the Supreme Court addressed it in a footnote to a 1982 casehttps://t.co/2DhM3q1Nrp

GOP lobbyist just told me this birthright issue was raised by Trump so Republicans in leadership and in tough districts can attack him. It makes a lot of sense. The GOP can fight the message that they’re all Trump pawns. A message that has resonated nationwide, because it’s true.

Another reason why the Trump's attack on birthright citizenship is not just a "distraction"…
As @JamilSmith tweeted, the 14th Amendment gave citizenship to former slaves in 1868. This is not just an immigration issue, its about the historical place of black people in the U.S.
