In reply to the discussion: Supreme Court fight over birthright citizenship threatens 'chaos' in proving newborns' status [View all]ChicagoTeamster
(949 posts)7. The Confederacy renounced their US citizenship by seceding. All of their descendants lost their birthright citizenship
If the parents were traitorous treason weasels, they lost their citizenship, so their children aren't US citizens.
And by extension all children of those children never had US citizenship. Maybe if one of their descendants was fortunate enough to have married a descendant of a citizen of the Union, then hooray for them, through no action of their own, their kids, and all of those kids kids are now US citizens.
But, other than that, all descendants of the Confederacy are not US citizens if there is no birthright citizenship.
Start packing Mofos "Get the FUCK OUT" !!!

As is plainly clear, "What then ?" is not a familiar question to this WH. Shoot first, ask questions later, think never.

The Supreme Court fight does not threaten chaos. The administration's suit threatens chaos.
