It is the basis for citizenship in nearly every nation-state in the Western Hemisphere and as the foundation for the 14th Amendment.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

It's worth noting that Joe Biden, by issuing a sweeping pardon, is protecting his son from *future* retribution by an incoming president who has promised to use the Justice Department as a weapon against people he doesn't like.
