re: #38 KGxvi

It would, likely, come down to how any potential deal is negotiated. There could be a scenario, for example, where those born in Puerto Rico would lose their US citizenship while those born stateside would keep theirs. Or those who stayed in Puerto Rico after a certain dated. More likely, everyone would get to keep their US citizenship as the US allows (but doesn’t encourage) dual citizenship (and even if another country does not, you can retain your US citizenship).

But let’s be honest, Trump doesn’t know a cotdam thing about US citizenship law, I mean he thinks he can end birthright citizenship via executive order… despite the 14th Amendment, a 100 year old Supreme Court decision, and the US Code all clearly establishing birthright citizenship.

That is right. And the Republican trained monkeys in Congress will push for it.
