The Trump Administration's Attack on Would-Be American Children

First they came after transgender people, then they in latest Supeme Court briefs have come after gay people. They have come after immigrants.  Now they are coming after kids who should qualify to become American Citizens.

The Trump administration announced new citizenship rules for some children of U.S. service members serving abroad, creating confusion among legal scholars and immigration attorneys and drawing condemnation from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services released an 11-page memo Wednesday that initially implied children of American citizens would no longer have automatic citizenship if born in another country starting on Oct. 29. Instead, parents would have to apply for citizenship on behalf of the child.
