He wants to snatch anyone he wants and send them anywhere he wants. Citizens included. Naturalized, born here, he doesn't really care. He's been telling us this for, what, 15 years? He ran around for how long claiming Obama can't be a citizen because only 1 parent was a citizen.

They'll find an excuse to rip citizenship away. If you even see a judge you won't have a lawyer and you won't a say. You'll just be disappeared. SCOTUS won't stop it. Even if they try Trump lawyers already said he won't obey any ruling he doesn't like. Supposedly Amy Barrett had the gall to be shocked.

Personally, I don't care if someone is citizen or not, papers or not, I don't care if they are great folks or murderers - everyone deserves basic human rights. Everyone deserves fair access to the judicial system. A lot of the liberal battles of my 80+ yr lifetime were for that cause. In just a few months... it is nearly wiped away.

I thought it would not come to this. I still hope it doesn't, but I think now I was wrong.
