Yes, I am a proud card carrying member of the ACLU.

I'm not trying to make an argument. I'm genuinely interested in your reasoning.

Is it textual? historical? precedential? ethical? other?

If we were ratifying the US Constitution today for the first time, would you put birth right citizenship in the Constitution? If so, why?

Any Administration's policy agenda ought not be used to outflank our Constitution. It would otherwise be fickle.

I also embrace the notion that we are a diverse and multi-cultural nation -- it is the very essence of America. The notion that an infant's birth/citizenship should be derailed by his parents' undocumented status is offensive to me.

Scores of birthright citizens have served our nation in many different ways, including combat.

I'm willing to entertain textual and precedential arguments (although precedent is overturnable).

But I'm not sure why we would want to put it in today, if it weren't already there. Most countries don't have it, and the benefits you mention are achievable through legal immigration instead.

Going to be the first sitting president to attend oral arguments.

And addressing the nation tonight.

Unless those are April fools pranks
