Summary
Trump announced plans to end birthright citizenship via executive action, despite its constitutional basis in the 14th Amendment.
He also outlined a mass deportation policy, starting with undocumented immigrants who committed crimes and potentially expanding to mixed-status families, who could face deportation as a unit.
Trump said he wants to avoid family separations but left the decision to families.
While doubling down on immigration restrictions, Trump expressed willingness to work with Democrats to create protections for Dreamers under DACA, citing their long-standing integration into U.S. society.
I’m cool with brain drain – if this actually happens a nice European country will happily open their doors to the educated (see Ireland, Spain already) and america will further collapse like it should.
I think there is a specific “class” of people they’re going to target.
Brain drain will happen after prices skyrocket and folks are expected to wait it out. Places like Spain are cheap, but generally have a better qol than most places in America.
If European countries want to open their doors to distraught Americans I think it’s a great idea because there are a lot of highly educated, highly skilled folks here that might just be done with the bs once maga really begins to churn.
