Now it is Latinos but once Stephen Miller pushes denaturalization bill through, Asians (mainly Indians and Chinese) are going to be next.

And I don't know about Chinese but there are plenty of Indians who love Trump, usually along with Modi (I do NOT want to see that rule34). They're in for a rude surprise when their H-1B or Green card is revoked along with citizenship of their born in the US children.

along with citizenship of their born in the US children

Totally agree with your point, but I have a bit of hope regarding the citizenship point. Birthright citizenship is a result of the 14th amendment, so revoking it would be very difficult. I wouldn't be surprised if maybe they try to ignore court decisions, or just deport people without due process. But, getting rid of the 14th wouldn't happen, so things could be undone (in theory).

The law only matters when it's enforced, and the current supreme court has already shown they will not uphold the Constitution when it suits them and their politics.

wouldn't stop them from putting the kids in the system and deporting the parents

boarding schools run by 'good christian folk' on large plots of empty land, just like the not that distant past.

SCOTUS "See, if the founding fathers really thought birth right citizenship was important. They would have put it in the Constitution. It's an amendment and we all know amendments were not part of the orginal text so therefore, we rule that the 14th amendment was never in enforce."

The law? These people only care about power. If they want to start shipping out Indian children that were born here, they'll do it, and tell any complainers to talk to the (Republican) judge.

Who's stephen miller and what does he want to do??

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

He's a white supremacist/neo-nazi and he'll be deputy chief of staff in upcoming Trump administration.

He wants to round up and deport all immigrants from USA. Non-white ones, obviously.

[-] Enkrod@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

His only regret is that he doesn't know where to deport the natives to.

North East Asia, but I'm pretty sure China and Russia would not be cool with it. So, they'd probably try dropping them in Korea or Japan.

Apparently, yeah. That's what denaturalization refers to. Taking away citizenship of Americans born to non-citizen parents.

The team will target terrorists, war criminals, sex offenders, and "other fraudsters", the DOJ said.

Eh, doesn't seem too bad on the surface. And he only did it to 30 people, it seems

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

That was then. Who knows what's going to happen with all the sycophants in admin positions.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

True. I remember a similar legislation that was passed in the UK effectively allowing the Home Secretary to shut down protests. It gave too much power to them.
