    This is what #BirthrightCitizenship looks like. I have spent every day of my life seeking to be worthy of the privilege. And I have been reared by this country to resist tyrants who would pretend they can take it away by pen.pic.twitter.com/6fwoKlT7iw

        He is attempting to create Fortress America and should he succeed, he will drain the strongest aspect of our union— immigration. Without immigrants, we are only a set of ideas. Immigration is the engine of those ideas. We will wither without it. His supporters do not grasp this.

        Is India run by tyrants? No birthright citizenship there. Didn't exist for #illegals until the 60s & was done by administrative state. So I have news for you the administration can revoke this non-existent privilege.https://michaelshannon.wordpress.com/2018/10/10/illegal-aliens-regularly-granted-lawless-benefits/ …

        I’m not. I mean, we invite people here, give them and their children citizenship, and when we express our national will and elect a leader they call it tyranny. Why do we allow this??

        Remember that time I went to India and told them how to run their lives?...oh, wait ~ I never did that. I guess I have too much respect for others to do such an arrogant and unwelcome thing.
