    Actually I have no problem with it. What is happening with the Evangelical Jesus is that during his first term he was bemoan8ng the fact that no people from Nordic countries like Norway (specifically mentioned) were emigrating to the U S but a lot of “those people” basically non white. The citizens of the Nordic countries stated they were happy where they were as they had good jobs with a good life work balance. They also cited a month’s vacation every year even for new hires, 6 month paid leave for maternity, family issues, illness, excellent healthcare, excellent roads and other social services. Although they conceded that their taxes were high, they felt they received much in return. The United States couldn’t match this, so why move? Consequently this dropped off his radar until now with a large amount of immigrants that are not white who want to live here. Now he is back in full racist xenophobic mode over the 14th Amendment. He can’t do anything about this with an Executive Order. It would have to be repealed and good luck with that.

    Have you notice the declining birth rate in the major industrialized countries like ours? Only immigration will save us like since 1650. You have a problem with that?

    I believe he can although it would only be temporary. It really needs to be adjudicated thru the Supreme Court and now that we have a conservative court, who knows?

    I don't think it needs to be repealed, it just needs its true interpretation and intent.

    It's all about being "subject to the jurisdiction." A child takes on the citizenship of the father and that can't be taken away from them just because they were born in a different country.

    It sounds like we should all be immigrating to Norway since everything is so wonderful there!

    Same goes for Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Germany, The Netherlands. I like the Dutch and their culture, of course I have friends who live there. They find me not your normal American as I try to learn the culture and respect it, learning the langauge is a bit difficult as I studied German in high and college and both tongues have similarities. At times I think in German which upsets me as I am sensitive to their feelings about Germans (not good because of WWII). They do respect my effort though even if I make unintentional mistakes.

    Yeah, this clown did the same thing in 2016 and never spent any of the money, except for a small portion. Only a few of the promised jobs materialized. Another non existent victory for an incompetent person.
