The legal arguments for Trump's birthright citizenship executive order are vapid and embarrassing. Multiple lower court judges legit laughed DOJ lawyers out of the room. The fact that four Supreme Court justices twisted themselves into logical pretzels to buy it is a constitutional emergency.
The Constitution Is On Life Support
Four justices are prepared to stuff the Fourteenth Amendment’s promises in the garbage because Mister Trump demands it.

Why is this an immigration failure? This could have just as easily involved a citizen.
Why not look at all the other systemic failures here, like housing, physical & mental health, any social safety net? That’s how you try to prevent this—immigration has nothing to do with real solutions.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
