Can someone tell me how/why Trump's EO ending birthright citizenship for Native Americans is a good thing?
Civil Rights Act of 1866: "All persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States."
14th Amendment (1868): "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

The Indian Citizenship Act, an Act of the United States Congress signed into law by President Calvin Coolidge in 1924, was important because it granted full U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans born within the United States, regardless of their tribal affiliation, giving them the same legal rights and protections as other citizens, including the right to vote, access to government services, and the ability to own property.
