Formal President Trump has pledged to end birthright citizenship for illegal aliens in the U.S.

Examining Legal Constraints, Constitutional Interpretation, and International Perspectives

Trump's pledge to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens in the U.S. has sparked a debate among legal experts, with many arguing that a president lacks the authority to do so through an executive order due to its constitutional protection. The 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to those born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction, has been interpreted to include children of immigrants regardless of their status.

Trump had previously expressed his intention to issue an executive order on the matter, triggering significant controversy. Supporters hoped for a legal battle that would lead to a Supreme Court ruling on the interpretation of "subject to the jurisdiction." However, no such order was enacted during Trump's presidency. Eliminating birthright citizenship in countries with high immigration, as observed in Germany's past, has been associated with potential risks and social divisions.

Neglect, Malnourishment, and Unsanitary Living Conditions Uncovered in Disturbing Investigation

In Bucks County, Pennsylvania, parents Shane Robertson and Crystal Robertson have been charged with seven counts of endangering the welfare of children. The charges were brought after their seven children, aged 4 to 16, were found living in deplorable conditions. The investigation began when children were seen entering an abandoned trailer, and police discovered the dire circumstances.

The children were not properly dressed, and the 12-year-old girl mentioned that she was taking a blanket to keep her rats warm due to their family's financial difficulties. The parents' trailer was found to have unsanitary living conditions, including feces in various places, disrepair in walls and floors, and a padlocked refrigerator. Additional findings included two dozen rats in cages, as well as dogs and snakes.

The children were taken into protective custody after a medical evaluation revealed malnourishment, low kidney function, severe matting of hair with maggots found in one child's hair, and various dental and vision issues. It was also discovered that the children had not attended school and lacked basic knowledge.

The Robertsons are currently out on bail after posting 10% of $100,000 bail.
