    We got a copy of a draft regulation that could bar immigrants from green cards if they sent their US-born kids to Head Start. So we're sharing it with you. https://www.vox.com/2018/2/8/16993172/trump-regulation-immigrants-benefits-public-charge …

        Asterisk about this being an early draft, but still, the Supreme Court hasn't established an affirmative right for US citizens to stay in the US, much less stay with their parents.

        So to the extent that this is an issue of equal protection, it's not actually denying anything to kids directly, it's just making it possible to deny an immigration benefit to parents down the road — which isn't something to which parent or kid is entitled.

        my guess is it would already have 4 votes in the Supreme Court, so it's just a matter of Ruth Bader Ginsburg or Breyer kicking the bucket

        Not a lawyer but that seems like a EPC violation. That doesn’t matter in Trumpland, however, the point is to make POC afraid.

        You don't? The GOP and their judges on the supreme court don't give a damn. They will just ignore it or brush it aside.
