    I said natural-born, not immigrants. This is stated by the 14th Amendment. If you are born in the U.S., legally Feds can’t deport you.

      The key word in there is legally.

      I see no indication that Trump would be in any way constrained by the law if in power again.

        Yeah, “legally” in a world where Trump wins a 2nd term is basically, “whatever we say it is”. I’m sure if somebody complains about it not being legal, they’ll just get shot instead. It sounds like the same sort of argument that pot-heads would make, “If you ask a cop if they’re a cop, they legally have to tell you!”

      You’re forgetting one thing - the constitution is just paper. It’s not gonna storm out of the archives and hunt down people who violate it. If the republican party decides to ignore it (which they have MANY times), then they’re gonna ignore it. Sure, you can piss and moan about it being illegal during the entire flight to wherever they’re sending you, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re still on that flight.

      Fight against it NOW, before you’re stuffed on a plane to somewhere else.
