When Did American Citizenship Become Something You Could Buy?

President Trump’s new executive orders targeting birth tourism and birthright citizenship are reopening one of America’s biggest immigration and constitutional debates. In this backyard discussion, I break down what these orders are trying to accomplish, the role of the 14th Amendment, and the bigger question: Should American citizenship be something people can deliberately game through the immigration system? This isn’t just about Trump. It’s about the value of American citizenship, national sovereignty, immigration enforcement, and where constitutional rights meet attempts to exploit the system.
