Trump plans to end giving citizenship to children of unauthorized immigrants
- mmirate 8y agoIf we must accept the combination of "closed borders, with safety net for all warm bodies within" instead of its superior alternative, then this seems like a reasonable way to prolong this status quo. Most unfortunate.
