it's still ending _birthright_ citizenship; if you're born to US citizens (wherever you may be born) you get citizenship through your parents, not birthright.





> it's still ending _birthright_ citizenship;

The important distinction is that this order is only for:

>>> those who are NOT born to permanent "US citizens" or "lawful permanent residents".

This order does NOT affect children born IN the US to US citizens or "lawful permanent residents" while the OP suggested that this order was "ending birthright citizenship in America" which that is totally false, otherwise it would have included everyone including US citizens or permanent residents, but it does not.

Only for those who are NOT born to permanent "US citizens" or "lawful permanent residents".
