"One agent soon twisted Jason Brian Gavidia’s arm and pressed him against a black metal fence outside the lot where he runs an auto body shop in Montebello, a working-class suburb east of the Los Angeles city limits. Another officer then asked him an unusual question to prove whether he was a U.S. citizen or an undocumented #immigrant.
“What hospital were you born at?” the Border Patrol agent asked.
Mr. Gavidia, 29, was born only a short drive from where they were standing… He did not know the hospital’s name. “I was born here,” he shouted at the agent, adding, “I’m an American, bro!”"
If there is no birthright citizenship then no one is safe from ICE.
Trump put a birth date on it something like February 2025. Trump could change that birthday to July 4th, 1776, and it could make all of us in “citizenship debt” to Trump.
At this point if you aren’t seeing this shit through “worst case first” lenses then you might not be realistic with the future of this nation.
