I am introducing a Constitutional Amendment to end Birthright Citizenship.
Under current interpretations of American law, anyone born on American soil automatically becomes a U.S. citizen, regardless of whether the parent was here legally or not. This is wrong and not at all the intent of those who wrote the 14th Amendment.
We are a country filled with immigrants, and legal immigration is valuable and should be protected. But we are also a country whose borders have been too open and our generosity exploited too often. President Trump has moved to seal our border from illegal immigrants more than any other president.
But we will have more to do.
We need to make sure that only children born to legal residents of the U.S. are automatically citizens. I have supported protecting birthright citizenship from abuse since the beginning of my tenure in the Senate, when I cosponsored the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2011, and now I am proposing an amendment to protect United States citizenship in case the Supreme Court fails to address this issue correctly.
Slavery in this country lasted 246 years. Jim Crow lasted around 100 years.
Our attempt to remedy the impact of those crimes against humanity was met with white terrorism & savagery.
The laws we finally got passed to address these harms were relentlessly challenged & lasted only 61 years before they were all finally stripped away.
This country has decided that the idea of race can be used to multigenerationally oppress us, but any remedy must be race neutral, which means there can be no remedy.
Never again will I vote for a presidential candidate who is unwilling to admit that America—a country that wouldn’t exist without chattel slavery—is a racist nation. That’s the beginning for me, before we even get to policies & legislation.
People that work in tech and finance are often nepobabies so you can just say unless you get help from your parents you can not soundly buy a house and afford the mortgage.
Note: Anyone with a good FICO can sign up for a 30 yr 6.5 percent $6k a month mortgage.
I said “soundly”

This is the media narrative that Roland and his ilk use to discredit Black (ADOS) Americans who are on the ground fighting for policies that are specific to their political interests. His tactics are outdated and non-responsive to the majority Black (ADOS) Democratic electorate.
I’ve attended Rep. Clyburn and Rep. Thompson’s annual CBC Policy Conferences for over 2 years and this topic was never mentioned. Here are the facts: #ADOSActivists were targeted in a Harvard “Disinformation Creep” smear campaign during the same time.

1. The responses to this illustrate a point I've been making for years: namely, that people tend to view the causation behind what is asserted here as binary. It was *either* the societal non-pharmaceutical interventions (notably, the lockdowns) *or*...
