The question of citizenship strikes at the heart of the question, who the subjects of a nation should be. In a world of poverty, famines and wars the answer can decide about life or death of a person. So it's by no means trivial to interfere with the tradition, that people who are born in the US are legally entitled to the citizenship of a state whose inhabitants have always been of different worldwide origins and whose only native people are the colonized First Nations who have no say in all this.
As white supremacy is the root of nationalchauvinistic ideology
US-president Trump obviously wants to strengthen the dominance of the descendants of European settlers who conquered North America and maintain the majority in the ethnic mix that constitutes US-demographics.
In denying non white immigrants born in the US citizenship Trump, himself of German-Scottish descent, bears witness of his ethnonationalistic agenda. The often cited "melting pot" has to be a dominion of white European settlers insisting on their racist and patriarchal ideology. Nonwithe people may be useful as serfs and cheap workforce, but beware that they never turn demographics to their advantage.
This is nothing else than eugenicist fascim represented in Europe by far-right parties that march to the drum beat of hating the alien who wants nothing more than to replace the white masters.
