how dare you not know all the bands?

That would make sense with what Columbia is reporting about their own policies. But also if they were arrested in the public space (ie building entrance) security would be useless.

It just so happens that everyone on left & right who has looked at this has concluded that the constitution means what it says. They're asking you to believe something else b/c they want to disenfranchise millions and create an entire population of stateless people. Whether they realize that or not.

Now of course one could say that about all originalist claims or arguments that go against the grain but I don't think that's the case. The issue here is a matter of degree and direction of agreement...7/n

But they don't want to defend that policy, they just want to hide behind originalism. "I'm not saying that it should be that way, it's the constitution." But that's BS. We all know it and it would be honest if they just laid out their cards on the table...6/n

In other words, they want to find evidence for the position that the children of undocumented noncitizens are not American but they pretend that they don't actually care about it. Of course they do, the fact that they are reaching for legal straws just proves it...5/n

Now you could just be interested in stone turning, but as academics we're generally more interested in looking for places where there appear to be stones to turn. So if you're going back to the rock garden that has been thoroughly ransacked you are looking for something...4/n

However, one has to wonder when everyone from across the aisle has conclusively determined that under any interpretation birthright citizenship includes the children of all noncitizens, you have to wonder what the motivation is behind turning more stones...3/n

Their position is one of feigned neutrality where they pretend not to have a particular view about whether jus soli is right or not but only about what the history says about br citizenship. This allows them to pretend they are neutral wrt to the outcome and therefore trustworthy... 2/n

Illegal/Unconstitutional: ending birthright citizenship for children both of undocumented and temporary (tourists, students, temporary workers, etc.). Instructing Attorney General to seek the death penalty of any undocumented immigrant accused of a capital offense.

Legal camp: end all refugee admissions for at least 90 days, increase resources for detaining and deporting immigrants, send the military to the border, build more infrastructure along southern border, stopping many parele programs, declare an invasion (which is crucial for his 14th Am. argument).

Within 90 days Secretary of Homeland Security will submit report saying if admissions should be resumed (shockingly I assume Noem will say they shouldn't be).

yeah it's like regardless of what you think about the book, I enjoyed but also totally get why others don't, that review is just...what?
