In 1798 it was determined that the ex post facto prohibition applies only to criminal laws and is not a general restriction on retroactive legislation. If legislation passes that states that children of illegals do not get citizenship then that could be sent back.They technically have the rights of american citizenship under the 14th amendment, whether it's a loop hole or not. There for under the ex post facto clause which is in the first section of the constitution would still be allowed to stay in the country, even if there parents were deported and the 14th amendment was repealed.
So are you saying ex post facto laws protection should be repealed as well?
Also thanks for the loaded question there, I really appreciated it
