I guess the context was they’re ruling allowing racial profiling instead of probable cause for ICE arrests. Seems to go against the 4th Amendment

Citizenship is only bought or granted by somene with the position and money willing to sponsor a citizen. Freedom and ither benefits such as housing, utilities, or health care are "earned".

I can see the "government" allowing lifetime or generational contacts to work starting after mandatory school or training period, and the only option for those not born to the "right" parents are corporate hub (manufacturing, service, or agriculture) communities, mercenary or policing companies - or prison farms.

Only white long time US inhabitants will have citizenship.
But they also have to pay for the privilege.

My heart skipped a beat there.


Why stop at just that? Why not have SCROTUS nullify the entire US Constitution? TAKE their rights away as well as the 2nd Amendment lovers who own arsenals of weapons and ammo for such an event! A Tyrannical government gone amok!
