Trump to Caribbean
Americans: Abolish
birthright US citizenship
By Nelson A. King
United States President Donald J. Trump
has revived talk of abolishing birthright
citizenship for Caribbean Americans and
others.
Trump said he was “seriously” contemplating
terminating American birthright
citizenship a day after his administration
unveiled rules that would permit the
indefinite detention of migrant children
with their families.
“We’re looking at that very seriously,
birthright citizenship,” the president told
reporters at the White House, slamming
the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution
that guarantees the right to birthright
US citizenship.
He described the 14th Amendment as
“frankly ridiculous,” adding that it was “a
magnet for illegal immigration.”
“We’re the only country in the world
where a person comes in and has a baby,
and the baby is essentially a citizen of the
United States for 85 years, with all of those
benefits,” Trump said. “It’s ridiculous. It’s
ridiculous. And it has to end.”
But some Republican and Democratic
legislators have rejected Trump’s notion.
“You cannot end birthright citizenship
with an executive order,” said Paul Ryan,
the former Republican Speaker of the US
House of Representatives.
Sen. Kamala Harris, Caribbean American
Democratic candidate, whose father is
Jamaican-born, scoffed at Trump’s ideas,
urging him, on Twitter, to “’seriously’ consider
reading the Constitution.”
According to the 14th Amendment, “All
persons born or naturalized in the United
States, and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens of the United States
and of the State wherein they reside.”
At a town hall meeting at Brooklyn College
Tuesday night, Caribbean American
Congresswoman, Yvette D. Clarke said
she and her Democratic colleagues in the
US House of Representatives and the Senate
are doing everything in their power
to fight the “racist and inhumane” immigration
policies of the Trump administration.
“As we are all aware, this administration
has attacked the hard-working
immigrants in our communities here in
Brooklyn and throughout our nation,”
said Clarke, the daughter of Jamaican
immigrants, who represents the 9th Congressional
District in Brooklyn.
“My Democratic colleagues and I in
Congress value the contributions of the
immigrant community to our economy,
our community and our culture,” added
Clarke, who hosted the town hall meeting,
flanked by local elected officials, and
immigration advocates and attorneys,
among others. “And we have been working
hard to protect immigrants from the
administration’s attacks.”
Clarke noted that the Democratic-controlled
House has passed her legislation,
HR 6, the historic American Dream and
Promise Act, which provides a pathway to
citizenship for eligible “Dreamers”, who
were under the age of 18 when they were
brought to the US and have lived most of
their lives in this country.
She said the US Congress is working
very hard to hold the Trump administration
accountable for “the atrocities it
is responsible for at our Southern border,”
stating that Congress has introduced
H.R. 3525, the US Border Patrol Medical
Screening Standards Act to establish procedures
“that will ensure consistent and
efficient medical screenings for all individuals
stopped between ports of entry.”
