Immigration is a good thing.
It's how we repair and populate rural America's decrepit and abandoned towns.
What about US Citizens of Mexician ancestry that are dealing with shitty ICE agents that refuse to recognize their citizenship?
I mean, they aren't technically Mexican so I doubt Mexican government/embassies have the legal authority to help.
🤔
Trump's plan to end birthright citizenship is to conflate undocumented immigration with invasion. True foreign invaders are not "subject to the laws of the United States", which is the criteria the 14th amendment requires to secure birthright citizenship.
Under this theory, Trump can trace back the lineage of every "US Citizen of Mexican ancestry" and, upon finding an unnaturalized ancester, void the citizenship of every subsequent generation.
Further, by declaring them invaders, Trump can employ the military against them. Anyone who supports "invaders" gives "aid and comfort to the enemy", making them guilty of treason. Trump now has a wedge to drive reasonable people away from opposing his anti-immigration tactics.
Our main hopes for preventing this travesty ultimately lie with the nine members of the Supreme Court, of whom Trump previously appointed three. Since "[he got] to pick [his] judges, nothing you can do, folks."
That sounds like a lot of work that I'm sure they'll pretend to be getting around to eventually
This isn't just limited to people of Mexican ancestry. If you (or anyone else) can fill in the following blank, you can be targeted under the same process: "My family has _______ heritage."
I mean, as vile as the supreme court is, lifetime appointments means they aren't under trump's influence anymore.
We had a supreme court in the 1890s (read this carefully, the 1890s, not 1980s) that was very disgusting and upheld racial segregation, but that same court also upheld birthright citizenship (Wong Kim Ark vs United States). So we never know what would happen.
Is this court gonna become even more backwards than a 1890s court? Idk 🤷♂️
Only time will tell.
lifetime appointments means they aren't under trump's influence anymore.
Assuming no blackmail.
Blackmail what? Embarassing nudes? Evidence of illegal acts?
I don't think they care.
They are not getting impeached and any impeachment would never get the 2/3 in the senate for conviction anyways. They have no elections to worry about. They're here to stay.
All part of the plan. These people will be rounded up, then shipped as labour.
You can tell by the trumpist fascism thats being implemented
What about US Citizens of Mexician ancestry that are dealing with shitty ICE agents that refuse to recognize their citizenship?
This has happened many times in the recent past and, like then, you're on your own. Check to see if you qualify for Mexican citizenship so that you at least can lean on them for some help.
Also consider supporting organizations that don't make it worse for people like us; your primary instance literally permits white erasure posts.

Huh?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
