(70,664 posts)This is just Steve Bannon being the false flag raising asshole that he really is.
because he says stupid shit like this in order to stir up shit. And at first the right
wing media helps to spread Bannons lies and then social media and the regular
main stream media push these half baked memes as if they are real. See HRC
and her emails which was a Russian backed disinformation campaign that was
adopted by the Trump campaign, The NY Times, and so on.
Btw doesnt Bannon owe us 6 months in the lock up?

Many were forced here for various reasons, or fled here to get away from US backed dictatorships or US sanctions causing privations.
Feels good to think it's an entirety pretty picture, but ...

Answer: The United States.
Yay, us!...

In fact people say, "sir, you have the best melting pot in the world. The greatest ever. No one has ever seen a greater melting pot, sir."

Their/your/our citizenship will be revoked on a whim and then you will be deported with the rest of the riff raff.
This has been discussed. It isn't something new, and it isn't just for people born here whose parents weren't citizens. The magats have said dems should be stripped of citizenship and deported for crimes against America. That's when they aren't saying we should be killed.

(16,912 posts)Has lived and worked in the US for well over 30 years. Paid into Social Security, Medicare, has been a Permanent Resident for many years. Has broken no laws. He still holds a British Passport. His wife is an Italian from New Jersey. Their sons are American citizens. I wonder what will happen to his status if TSF gets back in. He will be 73 this May.
I fear for the 800,000+ DREAMERS who live and work, serve in the Military, and who go to college here. People who all they know is this country, language, customs, etc. They are Americans in every aspect of the word, but they lack that piece of paper that says they are a US Citizen.
The cruelty will never stop. The overall damage to the Economy, to innovation, to this country if the door shuts on immigration will have devastating affects for a generation to come. For we all are from people who came from somewhere else in the world.

Permit poor American children to work again to take up those jobs by lowering age requirements for employment. Who needs an education?
Work requirements for seniors. No retirement for less wealthy grandma and grandpa. Work requirements to get that full social security and Medicare you depend on.

(16,912 posts)Chances are, SS and Medicare payed for through FICA deductions from Gross Earned Income, will be abolished as a means of cutting taxes for workers.
Retired Seniors will not be fooled, regardless of their financial status. For those living in Del Webb communities or The Villages, will see their incomes drop. To get into those communities, it is about money and how much one has saved up. They too have earned Social Security and Medicare benefits as well.

(22,430 posts)PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) An Oregon woman is suing the U.S. State Department for declining to issue her a U.S. passport even though her lawyer says she presented federal government officials with a certified birth certificate from a California hospital.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon filed the suit Tuesday in federal court in Medford on behalf of Maria Qarrillo Soto, who has lived in Oregon for 30 years, the Oregonian/OregonLive reported .
Soto, of White City, was denied a U.S. passport in 2018 despite providing government officials with her original birth certificate and copies of her Social Security card, drivers license and marriage certificate, according to her lawyer Leland Baxter-Neal of the ACLU.
Another Trump administration will find lots of reasons for denying people passports, and possibly declaring their citizenship void.
The right has been attacking birthright citizenship for years. Without it, any paperwork problem in you parents/grandparents/etc immigration or citizenship could result in losing your citizenship.
