    Now it is Latinos but once Stephen Miller pushes denaturalization bill through, Asians (mainly Indians and Chinese) are going to be next.

    And I don’t know about Chinese but there are plenty of Indians who love Trump, usually along with Modi (I do NOT want to see that rule34). They’re in for a rude surprise when their H-1B or Green card is revoked along with citizenship of their born in the US children.

      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.

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

        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.”

        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.
