ADAMS: Why Michelle Rempel Garner Has It Wrong on Jus Soli

Rempel Garner’s proposal to end birthright citizenship misunderstands both the principle of equality before the law and the very purpose of Canadian citizenship itself.

The Provincial Times
"The origins date back to the 19th century with #slavery in the #AntebellumSouth and the #Confederacy, the subsequent passage of #JimCrow laws in the American South, the rise of the #eugenicist discourse in the U.S., and the intensification of #nativist and #xenophobic hostility towards immigrants."
Sure you've heard the #nativist talking point that #immigrants flying flags of their home country is disrespectful... and never mind all previous waves of migrants have done so. Many of those #racist fucks are happy to wave the #DixieSwastika around. Burn their flag like Sherman.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_No... "The American Party, known as the Native American Party before 1855 and colloquially referred to as the #KnowNothings, or #TheKnowNothingParty , was an Old Stock #nativist political movement in the United States in the 1850s."

Thanks to @RejoinEU Remarking that #IndependenceDay is using
exactly the same #triggers for #liberationDay . It's #nativist and #jingoistic with no place in 2025 #UK #AntiFa
#Trump will be the next #UnitedStates president, after he was #impeached 2X & #convicted of state #crimes. He campaigned on…instituting #tariffs on most imports,…mass #deportations, rolling back #climate regulations & cracking down on #dissent.

Trump won after he campaigned on #nativist & #racist rhetoric about #immigrants. He spent his campaign trying to convince voters that their financial livelihoods were better when he was in office [despite inheriting Obama’s economy & then tanking it].

It had a particularly harsh toll on #refugees from #Syria, indefinitely suspending their resettlement (which #Trump considered “detrimental to the interests of the United States,” despite America’s role in the conflict). But, more so, it showed the extent to which the new admin would make its #nativist agenda real.

In the early 19th century, US elites demonized the self-liberated slaves of the Haitian Revolution -- as dangerous practitioners of barbaric rituals.

Today Republicans rehash similar tropes to justify harsh immigration policy and whip up #nativist #panic.

Out of all the outlandish claims at the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, perhaps the most absurd was Trump’s exclamation that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, were #eating #dogs

Not only is that a racist lie -- It’s also a part of a long history of anti-Haitianism across the United States and Western hemisphere.

Racism Against Haitians Didn’t Begin in Springfield, Ohio

Never forget that these #MAGA folks have been for #WhiteSupremacy and the logic of the #KKK from the start. People defending the American right at this point are complicit in their drive to #nativist #neofascism and cannot be taken seriously. #BashTheFash before it's too late.
