    along with citizenship of their born in the US children

    Totally agree with your point, but I have a bit of hope regarding the citizenship point. Birthright citizenship is a result of the 14th amendment, so revoking it would be very difficult. I wouldn’t be surprised if maybe they try to ignore court decisions, or just deport people without due process. But, getting rid of the 14th wouldn’t happen, so things could be undone (in theory).

      The law only matters when it’s enforced, and the current supreme court has already shown they will not uphold the Constitution when it suits them and their politics.

      SCOTUS “See, if the founding fathers really thought birth right citizenship was important. They would have put it in the Constitution. It’s an amendment and we all know amendments were not part of the orginal text so therefore, we rule that the 14th amendment was never in enforce.”

        boarding schools run by ‘good christian folk’ on large plots of empty land, just like the not that distant past.

      The law? These people only care about power. If they want to start shipping out Indian children that were born here, they’ll do it, and tell any complainers to talk to the (Republican) judge.
