As a Canadian citizen, he couldn’t vote for president, but he supported Donald Trump.

“I was definitely all for ‘Make America Great Again,’ and having a strong, unified country, and a bright future for my five American children, but now I feel a little differently,” he said. “I’ve been torn from my family. My life has been disregarded completely.”

And here I was afraid there was no justice left in the world. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

no no sir, those are not your American children. those are you illegal children whom will be deported soon.

thanks dismantling of birthright citizenship!

I still haven’t wrapped my head around this one. Wasn’t birthright enshrined in the constitution? How can it be dismantled?
They have some nutty interpretation that when the amendment was written the writers didn’t mean for it to apply to everyone. Basically it’s something like the children of noncitizens owe allegiance to the country of their parents, so they don’t count. The bit they’re trying to use is what prevents e.g. children of diplomats from gaining citizenship.
Thank you for actually answering my question.
