So, a couple of things… Yes, their fault for being Trump supporters…
But also… She’s 45, she came here when she was 10. She’s had THIRTY-FIVE YEARS to become a US Citizen.
It does take an insane amount of time to work through the citizenship process, but it doesn’t take 35 damn years. Especially not after marrying a US citizen.
Source: Friend of mine did it based on refugee status from Lebanon. My daughter-in-law did it on a student basis from Burma after marrying our son.
Fuck all these people straight to hell. I’m for either stripping Trump states of statehood, turning them into commonwealths where they can pay for their own social security and medical coverage (because right now, the vast majority of them don’t), or going back to 1870 and sending in the Union cavalry to fucking keep them the fuck out of politics, allowing black people and immigrants to vote, etc. What horrible people. Fuck you and your grandmother too.
Trump voter: I only wanted to hurt other people!
Reality:
I’ll bet 1 internet point that they never vote anyone but republican for the rest of their lives even after this. The ones who don’t get deported of course.
Pro tip: yes, you did vote for this, moron!
They literally wrote a playbook that included all the evil shit they were going to do.
“He isn’t hurting the ‘right people‽‽‽’”
-Fucking idiots that I told not to vote for him, but now their family members are disappearing.
The fuck did any of them think this meant?
That lady is a sleep paralysis demon.
Or just a paralysis demon
HAH! I see what you did there, lol
Sleep implies this isn’t a waking nightmare. She’s just batshit and her being asleep is probably a better time for those around her.
She has a wheelchair. I wonder how she’ll be in the next few years.
If she’s not a Zionistic Christian, she might be deported, too
Wonder if the sign-holder voted for deporting brown people, but is possibly making use of Medicaid/Medicare?
She’s in a wheelchair but not a really nice wheel chair. I’d say the odds are pretty fucking good.
Only the mass weight of the criminals obviously, they love science!
Ok, so besides the violin memes and everything, where is the alternative political power, the Democrafts, the Left, whoever, that is going out and making a big show of protecting people so when shit like this happens, the MAGAs in the neighbouring houses think long and hard about who is protecting them and who is attacking them?
Laughing at these people is not going to break them away from voting this in again.
What’s interesting about this case is that she’s an illegal who was deported years ago but snuck back in anyway. Did she forget about her illegal status? Or did she think she would be spared by supporting Trump?
The cynical answer is she thought the would be spared because she’s white.
The straight answer is that Trump told people the country was being overrun by criminals and gang members whom he would deport. People who bought that story thought those who didn’t fit that description would be safe.
Well, the thing about being a criminal is that it means you’ve been convicted of a crime.
Trump is a criminal. But he was born in the US to US citizens.
The goal is to make all sorts of things crimes such that it’s almost impossible to function in the US as a foreigner without committing a crime. At that point, the government can choose the people to deport at their whim.
Since birthright citizenship is being struck down, and this government interprets the constitution as only applicable to citizens, expect Trump to attempt again to pass legislation for more types of citizenship nullification.
One tricky bit is, if you’re declared legally dead, you immediately become an illegal resident if you’re still alive. And DOGE has already declared a number of people dead by misinterpreting a few databases.
Birthright citizenship was not struck down. Universal injunctions were struck down, which means the Constitution will be applied in any cases where a state has a law on the books or a class action suit has been brought and a statewide injunction has been declared. These suits will wind their way through the courts and may possibly be heard by the Supreme Court.
I’d like to predict the USSC would decline to hear the case because there would be no discrepancies in prior rulings and the legal question would be so obvious, but I’ve given up trying to predict this court. In any event, I do think it’s unlikely they would rule against birthright citizenship, since it would be plainly unconstitutional and there’s no real wiggle room to reinterpret it differently.

I can almost imagine this being written by Douglas adams, but the consequences a little too depressing. You know, in contrast to the complete destruction of the earth
God, I just wish I could hitch a ride and slam some pan galactic gargle blasters for a while :(
Instead we’re stuck listening to Vogon poetry.
Best I can do is a lemon peel wrapped’ round a gold brick.
Spared for sure. Like many legal citizens will think when the BBB hits, they will 100% blame dems but it’ll be Trump polices that will bite them. They are just too ignorant to realize.
Are those things going to be timed to hit after the mid-terms like many suspect?
100% correct
The cynical answer is she thought the would be spared because she’s white.
I’m unsure about that? Or at least if the likes of Stephen Miller would consider her “white”? She’s married to someone with the last name of “Olivera”. I’m not sure what her maiden name is, but even the “crime” of marrying outside the white race might be enough at some future stage of this…
I think this reply was meant for an adjacent comment
If illegal that means she didn’t vote, but supported?
Her husband voted for Trump. She was a supporter as well.
The question is, “Will he continue voting for the party that did this, despite ‘not supporting Trump’”
Because the moderate Republicans are leaving the government, and it’s the MAGA Republicans that remain. For example, Republican Sen. Thom Tillis voted against the BBB, but then made the announcement that he would not be running for re-election. And why? The Super PACs would have punished him.
That’s what I was trying to figure out, too - I didn’t see that she voted, only that she “supported” Taco and that her husband says he wants his vote back…
Awww sorry did you think Trump just meant blacks, latinos and middle easterners? My heartfelt condolences…🎻
Don’t forget the thoughts and prayers, that really does the job right
LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!
I have more respect for Chris than trump voters
“I thought this would happen to OTHER people and I was all for fucking up other people’s lives! Not MINE!”
They keep saying “criminals,” even in this story. Some of them are US citizens, one of them was 4. I’m pretty sure a 4 year old isn’t a criminal. Also, with no due process, we don’t know shit if they’re criminals or not. This is a money grabbing grift that is disappearing people, probably to death.
In Christian fascist America, 4 years old is old enough for the mines and marriage.
