I think its the extra stuff that enrages people. Sure we’ve always deported illegal immigrants especially the criminals (thanks Obama) but Trump wants to deport the kids born here too ending birthright citizenship which mind you is how he’s an American citizen and how I am one too.

trying to deport the kids born here is terrrible and i dont agree with it, but its pretty clear that a lot of these protests have moved into the "America hates Mexicans" territory, which isnt the issue at all

His grandfather got his US citizenship in 1892, and Fred Trump, his father, was born in New York in 1905. This means Trump and His father are both the sons of at least one US citizen. He wants to end birthright citizenship for children born where neither parent is a permanent resident, which makes sense as what happens when both non permanent resident parents lose their visas? Why would a child be tied to a country when neither parent is?

Birthright citizenship was not put into place for the children of illegal immigrants. Look it up.
