@bofrench I keep hearing from the far-right that "We want the best and brightest from around the world to come here" and yet, here we are.
So, which is it? The best and brightest or only the best and brightest white people and exclude everyone else.
@bofrench And yet, if those foreigners, if they are that, are more qualified to be there, why is this an issue?
We all know there are a TON of native born Americans that absolutely couldn't get into college even if someone bribed the Dean of Admissions directly to get them in.
@AmericanUF@mtgreenee Now tell me, why is Iran firing those missles? Is it because we literally killed their leader and are continually antagonizing and attacking them since then?
@TheExPharmacist@mtgreenee And she is saying 1 military death is too many. Especially fighting a war that was pretty much wanted by a foreign nation.
It doesn't mater if it is 1 death or a million. It is still people dying because a foreign nation told the President to go attack.
@megbasham@RWurzburg@DGPsalm3 /2 "This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of embassadors or foreign ministers..."
They would have to belong to ambassadors and foreign ministers.
@megbasham@RWurzburg@DGPsalm3 You really need to read the part that states "that every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and the national law a citizen of the Unite States." /1
@megbasham@DGPsalm3 Otherwise, anyone illegal couldn't be charged with a crime. This would INCLUDE things like immigration laws.
Since they wouldn't be beholden to the body of laws and the system in place to uphold those laws. You know, JURISDICTION.
@megbasham@DGPsalm3 Subject to the Jurisdiction of means you are beholden to the body of laws and the system of laws in place. Any person that is in the United States other than foreign heads of state and ambassadors are beholden to the laws of the United States while they are in it. /1
@paralgeal@mrddmia@JackPosobiec Otherwise, the entire case against the President of Venezuela gets thrown out because they wouldn't be "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States as they aren't a citizen. /2
@paralgeal@mrddmia@JackPosobiec Subject to the Jurisdiction Thereof means they are beholden to the body of laws and the systems in place which enforce those laws. This is why you can charge and convict someone for murder and sentence them to prison even if they are a foreign national. /1
@ObserverNyx @factpostnews Except for Medicare is strictly a federal program. It is part of the Social Security Act. Amendment to that of 1965. The Constitution strictly states that any federal law supersedes State Law.
And people do pay for Medicare via taxes. Every working person pays them.
@hard_arrr@RiloeGaming Please define DEI and Woke.
Because a woman making games isn't DEI. Because someone is trans making a game isn't DEI. Neither is woke.
Saying they celebrate those things isn't DEI or woke.
So, define "woke ideology" and DEI.
@YRsOfTexas I find it funny that people who claim they want smaller government always wants more government intrusion into the lives of people for things they don't like.
@Make_EuropaSnow I mean, you live in Australia. You are a possible descendent of criminals seeing as it was where the UK shipped off its people it didn't want there.
@EMoriartyX@dogeunhinged@StephenM Still didn't make immigration illegal. It only made people who weren't white people in good standing have the ability to vote and/or possibly own land.
People could still immigrate to the US along with being able to work.
