WOLD: Liberal Lawyers Are Wrong -- Trump Can, And Should, End Birthright Citizenship

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Theo Wold was Deputy Assistant for Domestic Policy to President Trump and the Assistant Attorney General overseeing the Office of Legal Policy in the first Trump Administration.
55% : Because U.S. citizens are subject to U.S. taxation wherever they live in the world, foreign nationals who were merely born in the U.S. are subject to U.S. taxation even if they live abroad and lack any other tie with this country.
52% : President Trump deserves credit for his bold and decisive revision to birthright citizenship, which the U.S. has unnecessarily extended for too long.
48% : Australia and Malta also once recognized birthright citizenship, but sensibly adopted policies nearly identical to President Trump's in the 1980s.
29% : Proponents of birthright citizenship claim that President Trump cannot change the practice because the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution requires it.
25% : On Inauguration Day, President Trump ordered the United States government to stop issuing automatic citizenship documents -- for example, U.S. passports and social security numbers -- to children born in the U.S. to illegal aliens or temporary visa-holders.
