they say they want to denaturalize immigrants. they are arresting immigrants in their asylum hearings. they are revoking visas and greencards. the gop says they want "legal immigration" yet they punish people for pursuing legal methods, all of which are intentionally underfunded and overloaded

You're referring to ending birthright citizenship? I believe that's just a silly bone he's throwing to the extreme right. No way it's possible. Arresting them at asylum hearing is seems cruel. But is it everyone, or just specific ones (criminal records)?

no, not ending birthright citizenship, he wants to strip immigrant citizens of their citizenship. he threatened zohran mamdani with it. ending birthright citizenship is also bad. why believe that his goals are impossible when he is backed by the corrupt supreme court who will sign off on whatever?

he is not only targeting people with criminal records, as you seem to believe. to reps, simply being undocumented makes you a criminal inherently, despite first gen and undocumented immigrants having lower rates of crime than natural-born citizens. when they say "criminal immigrants" they mean all

Why do you say "as you seem to believe" when my comment was a question, not a statement?

many people on the right make the claim that only criminals are being deported (tautologically true, however most have not committed any crimes other than immigrating illegally, as undocumented and first-generation immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than birthright citizens)

that you would ask the question implies that you think it could be a valid argument, hence why i said "as you seem to believe." because i am an outside observer, i cannot make any objective statements on what you do and dont believe, only that you seem to support right-wing narratives/politicians
