Please arm yourself with knowledge. Birthright citizenship is not a policy choice it is a constitutional imperative (14th Amendment). It can no more be signed away by Executive Order than the First Amendment.
Now that attacking birthright citizenship has become a Day 1 project for the incoming Trump admin, I dug out this rather comprehensive piece I wrote in 2011. It includes the source of Sen. Lindsay Graham’s emergence as the pitch man on this issue. politicalresearch.org/2011/03/01/c...
The Conservative Attack on Birthright Citizenship
All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Increasingly I think that Trump is focused on his own…comfort. He’s aware of his inadequacies. It’s why he’s uncomfortable around military generals and war heroes. These picks are so profoundly unfit, so deeply lacking in sound character, I think it makes Trump feel comfortable with himself.
Even with so many appointees already under fire, Trump has doubled down on defiance. Rather than turning to more credentialed and respected choices, he keeps naming more ideological warriors, conspiracy theorists and even family members to senior posts. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/02/u...

Solidarity is the only thing that can save us.
If you look back at history, solidarity has propelled essentially all social progress that we now celebrate or take for granted. And is what we need to move forward.

“Solidarity Is the Only Thing That Can Save Us”
Without cultivating a strong sense of solidarity with mass numbers of people we’ll never meet, we’re doomed to slip further into atomized isolation and defeat.

This echo chamber nonsense is predicated on the notion that bigotry is a valid perspective. It isn’t. Grow up! Think better!

When Japanese Americans were rounded up and incarcerated during WW2, two thirds were US citizens.
During the last “mass deportation” of Mexican Americans, over half were US citizens.
Assume this time won’t be any different.

It’s mostly white people who talk about echo chambers. Maybe you need the internet to meet people with different ideas but the rest of us do not. We know what the “other side” thinks because we deal with it every day! Everywhere! We’re fine. Carry on. Happy Saturday!
