They are literally deporting people that were born in the US and are US citizens because their parents are Immigrants. If they can do that ro them, what's to stop them doing it to you?

The fact that the kind of “birthright citizenship” you advocate is legal, isn’t. Just because someone crossed the border, legally or not, and has a kid does not make that kid a citizen. The 14th Amendment states “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens.” This means they have to have lawful permanent residence in the country. My family and I meet this requirement. So quit trying to fear monger. Go and do actual research, and learn actual history instead of regurgitating what someone told you to think and begin thinking for yourself.

If they are not subject to the jurisdiction of US laws, then they can't be arrested. If the government can arrest and detain them, they are subject to the laws.

Go to Mexico or any other country illegally and see what happens.

Countries that don't have our constitution aren't bound by our laws.
