  1. Exactly.

    Now they can deport anyone for any reason.

    Democrat? Deported.
    Dissident? Deported.
    Shared a meme? Deported.
    ICE needs to fill a quota? Deported.

  2. The 14th amendment doesn’t care if your parents were born here. If you were born here, you’re a birthright citizen regardless of your parents being citizens or not.

  3. That’s literally just the definition of birthright citizenship.

  4. If fucking Rafael “Ted” Cruz is a citizen and can run for president, then people who were born on this soil and have documented or undocumented parents are citizens.

  5. Oh I have no misgivings. They are coming for us all.

  6. Service guarantees citizenship. Would you like to know more?

  7. I’m waiting for family to try and say in front of me that this is a good thing, so that I can ask them if grandpa and grandma being made citizens when they were born here was a mistake

  8. Oh yeah?! But what pigment is your skin?
    Checkmate liberuls

  9. So we’re citizens to pay tax only, but we can be kicked out for any reason? Can’t wait until there’s a President that deports SCOTUS justices just because they can, and replace them with people they want.

  10. Let’s be real…they mean all non white children of immigrants.

  11. We’re going to go full Starship Troopers and be designated civilians. Service guarantees citizenship. Would you like to know more?

  12. Thing is, if birthright citizenship goes away, every new parent is gonna have a bad time. Currently, you sign a birth certificate. If the Chump gets his way and removes clearly constitutional birthright citizenship, every hospital is going to have to confirm citizenship. We don’t have the infrastructure possible for something like that.

  13. Unenumerated. Clauses. Followed the thirteenth. If you dont recognize the right of self regulation from 13 and 14 maybe then women giving themselves the right to vote so that they didn’t have to have their daughter fighting these wrongs…

    Too bad the supreme Court decided that those unenumerated rights were superseded by a law from the 15th century. In England.

    Eclipsing everything we’ve done here. Kavanaugh wrote the majority opinion there and has been trying to reign a reasonable centralist for the empire of imbeciles

  14. I’d also like to state that in these times of dumbass fascism I’d rather have dmitri Martin drawing how both sides hate this timeline

  15. “But they are only restricting habeas corpus for bad people like gang members” mfers when they get deported to the el salvador labor camps for being a gang member (they arent but didnt get to prove it in court)

  16. I don’t think people understand that they can take this back as far as they like. Yea, you may be okay for a while, but post or say something they don’t like? Suddenly your 3rd great-grandparent’s birthright citizenship is revoked, and then what? This can be applied as broadly as they like. Whatever suits them at the time. No one is safe.

  17. From the beginning the goal was to come up with a way to label anyone they don’t like an ‘illegal US citizen’

  18. Whilst I hate what’s happening, this is just wrong logic and info.

    In most countries, being born there gives you nothing, the only citizenship that matters is that of your parents. If an Irish parent gives birth in Spain, the kids are not Spanish even if they live there 20 years, they are only Irish. The kid could apply for Spanish citizenship based on the usual caveats, that of length of residency, language etc but depending on national laws they may have to surrender being Irish in order to become Spanish, it’s complicated.

    What Trump is doing is trying to change (unofficially) to this system. If you are born to American parents in America, that is (and possibly should be) different to being born by immigrant parents in America. America genuinely has one of the laxest rights to citizenship of any country and there’s an important conversation of whether it should be like this, but the crucial thing is it needs to be done fairly, consistently and transparently, not using citizenship as a tool to punish those with opposite political views.
