An enormous administrative problem — and a mountain of paperwork for everyone — is only the tip of the iceberg

Yeah, we had a class of noncitizens before. We fought a war over this.

We even amended the US Constitution to prevent this from ever happening again.

No, They would just be creating one of the events that led to a second American Revolution and dissolution of our current government. Practically speaking as tough as people think our military is they are greatly outnumbered by the citizenry and that is not something you can gerrymander away like they do the actual minority status of conservative voters. Even the corrupt conservative justices know what line they can't cross.

Gee, I can't wait for the inundation by the millions of statelessness. Additionally, how far back does birthright extend? Sure, it'd be a proactive measure so no one who currently is a citizen can't lose that...but a new baby born...what constitutes looking back in their records and seeing that in 1823 the baby's only recorded lineage shows a couple expecting their own child stepping foot onto a New York dock for the first time. Is this new newborn subject to being denied birthright citizenship? Who makes the determination for how far back one can go? edit: Ok, I forgot this is listnook, where people can't identify obvious sarcasm. The first sentence is obvious sarcasm. The paragraph is an identification of one of the complications should something like this actually go forward, and how the arbitrary nature of it is rife for corruption and subjectivity. edit edit: I just had a thought...depending on how bad the slope can slip...that's just about 99% of every black person in America. The slave trade dealt in obfuscation of paperwork a lot of the time when it came to lineage.

You probably got downvoted by bots/sock puppets, Foreign governments and other groups are very active anywhere politics is discussed on the internet. Listnook could identify many of them but it would lower their engagement numbers to advertisers.

Good point. Though given the comments that roll through sometimes, the oblivious nature of some people, or the unnaturally strict adherence to pedantry and correctness some people have while missing the forest for the trees sometimes...I don't put it past some people to still be like this too.
