No, I think they meant "naturalized and birthright citizens".

They are intending to unconstitutionally remove birthright. I expect they will start having trouble slightly before third generation+ immigrants.

But… they can't remove citizenship retroactively. What I mean is today there are citizens and non-citizens, but there are no classes of citizens. Either you have citizenship or you do not, it doesn't matter how you acquired it.

That's their plan though :c

So far a judge has blocked it when he tried the first time

I read this article (and others) and I am still unclear. I thought this whole idiotic crusade applied only to newly born children. It never even crossed my mind that you could revoke citizenship from your citizens. I mean, the principle of non-retroactivity dates back to the Roman Empire.

Here are recent attempts to create a stratified class system among citizens based on how they became citizens: https://www.mediamatters.org/immigration/right-wing-media-ca...
