Birthright Citizenship

CNN is one of the most controversial news sources which is why I have chosen this article by them to cover. It is about birthright citizenship and how president trump is wanting to get rid of it. It covers his misleading comments about how we are the only country to allow this. The author provides a clear argument about how were are in fact not one of the only ones and that there are many more countries who also allow this. The author of this article seems to be more worried about the facts behind what Trump is saying rather than the problems with what he is actually wanting to do. The intended audience is clearly non-Trump supporters who are pro birthright citizenship. I know this because he is clearly wanting to prove him wrong and find ways to show that what he is saying is incorrect. Although the author is clearly leaning one way, she does seem to be very credible, clearly crediting her sources such as CIA World Fact Book. She shows a map with the countries that also do birthright citizenship from the CIA World Fact Book. I find her argument about how Trump is wrong when he says that we are one of the only countries who allow birthright citizenship to be credible because of her sources. He also credits the constitution by talking about how getting rid of birthright citizenship would be against the constitution and would require a constitutional amendment. Overall James Griffiths, the publisher has a good argument with credible information supporting his claims.
