Trump Team Targets Citizens, Ignores Founding Fathers
According to The Independent, Trump's associates are pushing to 'yank American citizenship from more foreign-born people,' instructing USCIS offices to find up to 200 denaturalization cases per month. This isn't just about immigration; it's about re-categorizing who truly belongs. Historically, America was built by those seeking refuge and opportunity from elsewhere, a point often conveniently
forgotten when political tides shift. One might recall the rhetoric around various 'enemies within' throughout history, from the Chinese Exclusion Act (1882) to Japanese internment (Executive Order 9066, 1942). The consistent pattern is to target those deemed 'other' when convenient. How many foundational figures, one wonders, would meet today's ever-shifting, nativist purity tests?
