Federal judge seeks clarity on whether birthright citizenship order means babies could be deported
Clearly, the babies who crawled across the border on their own can be deported. But, really, what is this all about? The babies not granted birthright citizenship are born to a mother who is not a citizen (or subject to the United States or what have you). So one presumes deportation would include the mother and the baby and to the same place–no sending mothers home and the babies to Ghana or something. That is, the United States would not want to break up families.
I have to assume that the whole exercise seeks headlines like Trump Administration Wants To Deport Babies. I’m also getting the sense that this is less effective as it once was.
