It’s just a piece of paper. An idea. And if people don’t believe in this idea and won’t enforce it, then it is truly meaningless.
The constitution only applies to rich white people, for everyone else it's only a vaguely applicable piece of tissue paper
US: Then Trump can't deport every person he wants.
It really should be that simple.
Let’s deport Trump without a trial
The homegrowns should be given a fitness test of doing at least 30% the workload of an immigrant to stay in the US. Less than that, you really don’t love “your” country. #gfys
In highschool back in the early naughties, I worked at a chicken hatchery as one of like 3 non-management non-immigrants. Once they realized I wasn’t lazy or a rat, despite being management’s offspring, they let me in on the secret that they speak English pretty fluently. But we pretended I was speaking Spanish for another full year so they could feign ignorance (they were teaching me Spanish, brought me food they made and even invited me to their homes to see how they live… eye opening for a teen..)
That whole thing means I can totally skip the test, right? Since I did the full workload? Or does the empathy part of that negate the results and mean I failed?
US also can't give every president omnipotent powers that wants it.

Yeah, that's too fucking bad, innit?
Traitor to his oath to the Constitution again and again, the Republicans showing they are fascists and Democrats showing they are okay with fascists as long as they don't disrupt the economy.
Interesting that due process is an undue burden.
"I want to deport people that I can't meet the evidentiary burden to legally deport."
The rule of law is dying and if you try to resist you get deported without a trial.
Then it doesn't deport them
Borders are apartheid on a global scale, abolish them
