My father arrived in the U.S with $30 and a belief in a country that promised your worth would not be determined by where you were born, but by what you built and how you lived.

That promise is now under attack. On April 1, SCOTUS will hear a case challenging Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship in the U.S. A move that would throw countless families into chaotic and harmful legal uncertainty.

If Birthright Citizenship Falls–The American Experiment Fails

On April 1 the ACLU is going to the Supreme Court to defend the Constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship–here is what you need to know I am an immigrant. In 1977, my father arrived in the United States with $30 in his pocket. That was it. No guarantees. No

Let's Address This with Qasim Rashid

@QasimRashid I desperately wish I could get through to people just how many people who we never would accuse of "not really" being American are going to get fucked by this. I'm a pasty ginger from the South with indigenous ancestry and I'm pretty sure my grandmother would no longer be a US citizen if they retroactively applied this.

Never mind the myriad nonwhite people who are just as engrained in American culture who will get booted to random country none of their family even going back 10 generations have been to.

@QasimRashid Remember, if they can say just because your born here, your not a citizen, that means no one gets to be a citizen. It’s all conditional upon whoever is in charge.

You don’t want that, even those of you who think you do.
