“When Trump bellowed out that “we can end” this “policy,” the rally crowd roared with approval. This whole framing casts the children of undocumented immigrants as undeserving of American citizenship purely on the basis of the background of their parents. That, of course, is the whole point of the push to end birthright citizenship — and precisely why it runs so flagrantly counter to the spirit and values at the core of this provision of our constitution. As Garrett Epps puts it, at the heart of birthright citizenship is a fundamental conception of civic equality that ideally extends it to all Americans born here, regardless of race or the heritage of their parents. Ending it, Epps notes, “would create a shadow population of American-born people who have no state, no legal protection, and no real rights that the government is bound to respect.” Given who their parents are, for Trump, this is a feature, not a bug. Trump is casting this entire class of people as undeserving of citizenship, as only deserving of this shadow status.”

Trump floats a new absurdity to support his latest hate narrative 

Trump is a liar, a demagogue, an authoritarian, and a racist. In four days, we have our chance to send him and people like him a clear and unambiguous message that he and people like him don’t reflect the values and ideals that we hold as Americans.
