    Should we also deny United States citizenship to members of the former Confederacy who seem not to have accepted the outcome of the Civil War and the amendments it inspired?https://twitter.com/LindseyGrahamSC/status/1057282345991106560 …

        I mean, you are right, but this conversation is not trending in a positive direction. Everyone is taking the Trump bait, and it’s making for a legitimately scary Halloween. Trump will ruin America by our reaction to his insane statements. He is just an ego blackhole machine

        So what are your suggestions regarding anchor babies? What are we do with the parents now I don’t agree the constitution is very clear on this. With that being said what do you suggest about baby delivery tourism? How do we combat these issues

        That is the least of our concerns, I’m more concerned about our society ripping itself apart. A few stay kids won’t hurt us.

        Well as long as people are seeing only skin color and playing identity politics this country doesn’t have a shot. But it is not a “few” stay babies this is a major issue to the fabric of our nation. If you don’t have boarders you don’t have a country!

        Correct. Why preserve statues of men who rejected the citizenship they were born to and then swore allegiance to the Confederacy?

        Do you see how poisonous and otherizing this rhetoric is? We are all Americans, and we should have very similar mental software. Unfortunately cable news is showing us two very different versions of the same story.

        This particular rhetorical point is challenging (effectively, imo) our built-in assumptions about who is a "real" American. It's no use having a nationality unified opinion if it's a cruel and shitty one

        Trump can’t control himself, he is a blackhole of damaged ego. Everything he does is perfectly predictable. He shouldn’t be president but he is. We can control how we respond to horrible things he says, though. Accelerating division isn’t the right answer.
