So what's next, forcing immigrants to wear ethnic identifying patches on their clothes? The Supreme Court is dooming this country to repeat the mistakes of the past. Will they be okay with forcing all Jews to wear the Star of David symbol on their clothes? Stephen Miller must already have some racist patch designs to force Mexican immigrants to wear.
