He wants to eliminate birthright citizenship if the mother isn't a citizen when the child was born, regardless of what the Constitution guarantees.
It doesn't matter that these kids were all born in the US, he wants to strip them of their citizenship.

Except in the case of white folks, of course. It's the black and brown kids he wants to deport.
