Dems: Trump walked out of shutdown meeting

The continued government shutdown is hurting Americans everywhere. Government workers continue to go to work without pay. ICE and Border Patrol continue their enforcement operations by detaining people. The longer this goes on, the worse the outcome will be when a deal is finally reached. Trump ought to put his negotiation skills to the test now. It is time.

El continuo cierre del gobierno está perjudicando a los estadounidenses en todas partes. Los trabajadores del gobierno continúan trabajando sin paga. El ICE y la Border Patrol continúan sus operaciones de aplicación de la ley deteniendo a personas. Cuanto más tiempo continúe, peor será el resultado cuando finalmente se alcance un acuerdo. Trump debería poner sus habilidades de negociación a prueba ahora. Es el momento

Top Democrats say President Donald Trump walked out of a meeting with congressional leaders as talks to end the partial government shutdown remain at an impasse.

Why Trump cannot end birthright citizenship:

Birthright citizenship is in a constitutional amendment (14th Am.)
To change that amendment, one needs to look at Article 5 of the Constitution. It states:

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.

So either Congress can do it or the states can do it by calling for a convention.

If Trump does this, I do not understand how anyone can call themselves a conservative and support him because all he does is sign pieces of paper that cause chaos and confusion and get held up in litigation for years wasting valuable government resources.

Paul Ryan Dismisses Trump Plan To Void Birthright Citizenship Law By Executive Order

Important points to keep in mind:

1) "Birthright citizenship is not what drives illegal immigration. Surveys have found that people come for jobs and to better their lives."

Most immigrants I ask give this as their number 1 reason why they left their home and came to America (legally or illegally)

2) Having a US born child does not automatically open up doors for an immigrant to “apply for something” or “gain a benefit”. There are strict regulations made by the agency empowered by Congress to promulgate rules requiring the child be at least 21, have a sufficient income, and that the parent entered legally. Alternatively, the burden in immigration court to convince a judge your child needs you is very high. Do not underestimate the current legal standards.

3) This is ethnic cleansing”
"This is an attempt to white-out America's history and heritage as a nation of immigrants. And it's unconstitutional."

Yes. And yes.

The Republican House speaker said, "Well, you obviously cannot do that." He added any effort to circumvent Congress would be "unconstitutional."
