Summary

Trump announced plans to end birthright citizenship via executive action, despite its constitutional basis in the 14th Amendment.

He also outlined a mass deportation policy, starting with undocumented immigrants who committed crimes and potentially expanding to mixed-status families, who could face deportation as a unit.

Trump said he wants to avoid family separations but left the decision to families.

While doubling down on immigration restrictions, Trump expressed willingness to work with Democrats to create protections for Dreamers under DACA, citing their long-standing integration into U.S. society.

When Republicans say deport 5% of the population what they mean is put them in camps until they die because there's no way they could process all that paperwork

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Even if they could process all that paperwork, those countries have to want those people back. You can't just land a bunch of C-130s full of people in Guatemala City and dump them onto the tarmac. That's not how anything works.

So even if somehow they knew where every single person in those camps is "supposed" to go, many of them would stay there indefinitely anyway. Until, I guess, they come up with a Final Solution for them.

And if they were born in America then there is no other country for them to go to

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Generally, but not necessarily, true. Such as in my case. My dad was born in the UK. If you were born anywhere in the world before 1984 to a British parent and a non-British parent and they were married when you were born, you are eligible for British citizenship.

But overall, you are correct.

I'm only bringing this up in case it can be useful to anyone needing to get out of the country where they live and fit those requirements.
