President-elect Trump proposed in an interview aired Sunday that families with mixed immigration status should be deported together, echoing his selected "border czar" Tom Homan.
Texas, Gov. Abbott offering land for detention camps. Expectation of "national emergency" declaration to deploy National Guard. Hot on the heels of whatever's happening with martial law in South Korea, the domestic scenario in six weeks is becoming apparent.

Mother Russia: South Florida sees a boom in birth tourism' (2019)
apnews.com
... Every year, hundreds of pregnant Russian women travel to the United States to give birth so that their child can acquire all the privileges of American citizenship.
They pay anywhere from $20,000 to sometimes more than $50,000 to brokers who arrange their travel documents, accommodations and hospital stays, often in Florida.
While the cost is high, their children will be rewarded with opportunities and travel advantages not available to their Russian countrymen. The parents themselves may benefit someday as well.
And the decidedly un-Russian climate in South Florida and the posh treatment they receive in the maternity wards -- unlike dismal clinics back home -- can ease the financial sting and make the practice seem more like an extended vacation. ...

Lyrics excerpt...
...
If you go down 'round the bend in the river
You're gonna find a few changes been going down there
'Cause the people who live 'round the bend in the river

And take a last flying look at the last lonely eagle
He's soaring the length of the land
Shed a tear for the fate of the last lonely eagle
For you know that he never will land
[Verse 2]
If you go down where the lights push the nighttime
Back far enough so you can't feel the fear
Remember the boy who you left on the mountain
Who's sitting alone with the stars and his tears

14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Civil Rights (1868)
www.archives.gov
... Passed by Congress June 13, 1866, and ratified July 9, 1868, the 14th Amendment extended liberties and rights granted by the Bill of Rights to formerly enslaved people.
Following the Civil War, Congress submitted to the states three amendments as part of its Reconstruction program to guarantee equal civil and legal rights to Black citizens. A major provision of the 14th Amendment was to grant citizenship to "All persons born or naturalized in the United States," thereby granting citizenship to formerly enslaved people.
Another equally important provision was the statement that "nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." The right to due process of law and equal protection of the law now applied to both the federal and state governments. ...
Curious.
So, Pres-elect Trump seems to have an issue with the 14th Amendment.
Because it was passed to help Black people?
Democrats are certainly no stranger to violating Constitutional rights.
Fact check true:
I submit as an Asian, Lumpers are clearly against the destruction of the unconstitutional "affirmative action" BS
Democrats decry " while Republicans welcome " end of affirmative action in college admissions

A divided Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that the use of affirmative action in admissions programs at two universities was unconstitutional.

Some interesting maps of birthright citizenship around the world. It is most common in the Americas, likely because of the impetus to colonize the "New World" (i.e. import enough Europeans to fight off those Injuns)
