Trump pushing his ludicrous immigration plan which includes things that amount to mass deportation which is almost certainly illegal ("They've got to go. We don't want to break up families but they've got to go"), has now said the 14th amendment of the US constitution is not constitutional. The birthright is only part of the amendment.

Whether there is an actual legal case to be made for it or not is a legitimate question (it likely falls on the "under the jurisdiction of the US part of things). But it also guarantees that he won't get any hispanic vote and the GOP desperately needs to get that vote up from the last two elections.

But don't worry, after he deports the "good ones" they will have an expedited process to allow them to come back in legally. Because that makes sense.

The Tea Party is just lapping it up.
