        Thanks for this. Anti-immigrant groups, rooted in white nationalism, have long been clamoring for an end to birthright citizenship. John Tanton, who died in July, founded the Federation for American Immigration Reform in 1979. Check out this letter he penned in 1975:pic.twitter.com/FXLrJGER95

        I'm almost certain these groups of the #TantonNetwork have been talking to Stephen Miller about how to accomplish this seismic shift of jurisprudence.

        I think he will carefully weigh the political gain with his base on this issue against the fiduciary gain with his properties that rent to pregnant Russian women before he makes this call. He is stupid about many things, but running a con isn’t one of them.

        Would this include the Russian women who come to this country specifically to give birth or will it just apply to brown people?

        Exactly how can he change the 14th amendment? He’s got y’all in a tail spin. It’s not gonna happen. Stop the drama! Stop stocking the fire and the hate divide! Trump can not change any amendment just like Obama couldn’t change the 2nd amendment.
