If the TFG proposed policy is to deport entire families, regardless of the citizenship status of children and grandchildren, then what he's saying is:
"You may be a born U.S. citizen, but if even one of your parents is an immigrant, or one of your grandparents is an immigrant, then your citizenship doesn't count, and I can and will deport you if I don't like your politics or if it will thrill the crowds I've whipped up to a frothing hatred."
@DavidSalo At some point all US citizens have an immigrant in our family tree. (technically even the indigenous peoples have immigrant blood if you go back far enough.)
@DavidSalo @sfleetucker Next time, I'm going to write in that I am a person!
@sfleetucker @DavidSalo That’s my question, how far back will he go to get rid of someone he truly fears and despises. I have three generations on both sides, one side from Germany. Will that exempt me? Will that get me the underground “suite” at the finest camp in my area?
@sfleetucker @DavidSalo I came over here via the Bering Strait. Since there were no humans here until humans migrated over, everyone's an immigrant.
But the people who lived here for 20,000+ years should definitely be treated better than the recent immigrants have been treating them.
Nobody is an immigrant to Earth. We're _all_ from here.
Even I'm from here (sorta).
@AskTheDevil @DavidSalo Amen to all of that @AskTheDevil.
Also, the only continent we're not immigrants on is Africa. (but don't tell the wypipo)
They don't handle what actual aryan people looked like very well, either.
@sfleetucker
True, but some 8% of U.S. residents put "American" as their ethnicity on the 2020 Census, clearly indicating that they choose not to believe in all this immigration folderol. Clearly they're the original inhabitants of the land, going back to when God created Adam and Eve in Eden, West Virginia.
