It allows them to denounce citizenship of whoever they deem an enemy of the state. Hence then allowing to revoke the right of any and creating a fear state, behave or behead.

Along with setting precedent that an acting head can unilaterally change the foundations. Hence creating no quantifiable term for rights, as they then get to choose who benefits from them.

If the nation that held your birth and upbringing doesn't want you, what is your right anywhere else?

What are you talking about? It would allow them to revoke the citizenship of people born in the US to 2 non-citizens. That's not a significant portion of the population.

You're not allowed to make a person stateless.

Says who? The UN? A treaty the US didn't sign?

The constitution says people born here are citizens and they've decided to pretend it doesn't. Why would an organization they want to withdraw from or a treaty they don't recognize get more weight?

And what's the stateless person going to do if they're wronged? Sue?

Constitutions can be altered, amended. Which seems to be what Trump wants to do.

I'm just telling you that the majority of countries does not have birthright citizenship. It's something you inherit from your parents. Provided they file for it if you're born outside of a hospital or abroad.

And no. Birthright citizenship is not a human right.

And yes, someone becoming stateless against their will, would have to sue.

I'm not arguing for or against it. Not my bone to pick.
