As everyone tried to warn, Trump wants to deport AMERICAN CITIZENS. He intends to void the 14th Amendment. He wants a “population purge.”
CATO Institute Director of Immigration Studies says Trump’s “monstrous” birthright citizenship EO includes a clause that seeks to deny the legitimacy of Kamala’s citizenship, and is about “a population purge” 👇🏽

The Supreme Court isn’t going to uphold the birthright citizenship EO. But the harm caused by Trump calling into question the validity of the citizenship of essentially every brown person in this country (to his supporters’ minds) on day one is going to cause immense, immense harm.
