President-elect Donald Trump’s remarks about ending birthright citizenship sent one CNN commentator into a meltdown that proved she didn’t even understand the issue.
Trump spoke on the topic with “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker on Sunday, saying, “We’re going to end that because it’s ridiculous.”
Welker asked how he would get around the 14th Amendment and Trump replied: “Well, we’re going to have to get it changed. We’ll maybe have to go back to the people. But we have to end it.”
On Monday, amid the rest of the left-wing meltdowns, CNN’s Maria Cardona was stressing out about being deported by the incoming Trump administration even though she is a legal, naturalized citizen.
Democrat Strategist Maria Cardona goes on an unhinged rant on CNN, says that Trump could deport her AND her children in his second term.

“I might be deported because I’m a naturalized citizen!” Cardona exclaimed, citing Stephen Miller to say the administration will “embark on a denaturalization program.”
“So I could be deported. My citizenship could be taken away, and my children could be deported because they have birthright citizenship” she continued breathlessly.
“This is not what the country voted for. Let’s be very clear,” she continued her rant, claiming Trump was elected because voters wanted lower costs for groceries and other needs.
I say with certainty that CNN has absolutely no idea what the country voted for because they got it wrong all the way through election day and still cant figure it out. She should stop yelling at her guests and get a grip.

“What this country did not vote for is to deport the 11 million undocumented immigrants who do critical work for our economy,” she added.
Cardona’s fear-mongering was called out on X where social media users also added much needed context to the left’s complete misunderstanding of birthright citizenship.
Trump’s plan to end birthright citizenship would mean 4 of his children wouldn’t be considered US citizens:
Don Jr – born in 1977
Ivanka – born in 1981
Eric – born in 1984
Ivana – became a US citizen in 1988Barron – born in March 2006
Melania – became a US citizen in July 2006 pic.twitter.com/OpIssJg77t— anyone_want_chips (@anyonewantchips) December 9, 2024
Oh, no. We 100% voted for every single illegal, “undocumented”, criminal alien to be deported.
All of them.

Lady, do you hear yourself? If you are a naturalized citizen, you aren’t an immigrant illegal or otherwise. You can’t be deported. Your home country is the U.S. some people should not be so quick to jump on things they don’t understand.

Did she come here illegally? Because that’s the only thing we’ve been talking about and she knows that. This is theatrics for politics sake. She can cry and gesticulate all she wants. We all know what is real and her take on the issue certainly is not.

I guess you can be two things at once:
A naturalized citizen
A complete idiot regarding citizenship.— Ask AmyS (@askamys) December 9, 2024
