    Applied retroactively and recursively, it would strip citizenship from effectively all Americans

      That’s the point. They have a weapon that can be used against anyone, and it’s already shown they don’t care about due process. The courts gave him everything he needs.

        I think this is a great point. If they dispute the immigration status of your great grandpappy, oh looks like you’re an illegal based on this purely unconstitutional “inherited status” doctrine.

        Edit: The 14th amendment specifically mentions “born” in the US to prevent the use of the law to do things like this aimed at former slaves. Its no surprise that this kind of thing is being attempted by maga nazis.

      Right?

      I’m wondering if there’s a way I can use this to get deported to the lands of my great great great great grandparents (Germany or the Netherlands or somewhere idk)

      They wouldn’t take my stupid ass otherwise

        No they’ll send you to CECOT or just make you stateless and dump you somewhere random with nothing

        My DNA is such a fucking mashup that I could theoretically go to almost any European country.

        Take me back.

            I’m an HVAC technician with 5 years of experience in commercial refrigeration.

            You know someone that would sponsor an immigrant?

              Me personally, no.

              But honestly with how on fire the world currently is, a lot of places will be in need of air con soon that didn’t before, if your skills also transfer to heat pumps I think you can take your pick of where you’d like to go. Just start sending applications. Also if you have any European ancestors, check if that country doesn’t grant descended citizenship (like ireland, greece, italy etc).

        I’m wondering about this also except my lawful parents have been here only about 30 years. I don’t know if their legal status when I was born is ‘legal enough’ for me to remain even when birthright was perfectly intact at the time. I’d probably have three options of countries to go to. But only if they will accept ‘stateless U.S. citizens’ is another matter because the Global North is gungho about anti-immigration and that includes asylum.

      My dirt farmer ancestors got here in like 1890, too late to fight against the Yahnkeez, just in time to steal land from the Indians.

      So I guess I’m either Scottish or stateless now. I’m not sure which is worse. (Just kidding, Scots)
