It's protected by the Fourteenth Amendment, can only be repealed by another one (like the 18th was set aside by the 21st). For an amendment to become law, it has to be ratified either by a two-thirds majority of both Houses (Trump hasn't got the numbers) or by a minimum of 34 state legislatures (he's never has anything approaching that kind of support, either).Ruling by decree is something dictators do.

The more dead bodies you see strewn there the fewer of us will the murderers murder. Simple math. SIGH.

Alongside Jack and Jane and Spot are millions of others who are running too having been convinced by their "leader" that death marches toward them. To where they run do not know. Just away from the mauraders who will destroy them! SIGH. Children's books are not what they used to be. Are they?

In other words, Jews living in all nations around the world (community), Judaism (faith/religion), and the nation of Israel (home in an abstract sense for most) are one and the same in solidarity. It is not just a theory but a lived reality. That is why Jews for many generations have valued helping and welcoming strangers, which in turn is why Jews have been heavily involved in social justice causes such as the civil rights movement.The terms "globalists," "international bankers," and "the corrupt media" all are commonly associated with Jews in the minds of anti-Semites. The notion that Jews control banks and the media is an offensive ethnic stereotype, and it was used by Hitler to jus... less

Not that they are smart. They have no choice in that. Choice comes into play with what they choose to do with it. Should smarts be used to benefit many, some, or just the smartie pants? Why ?

Becoming better than you were is possible.That said do you think a prez can get better in the job when the first two years all we see is worser? When does the "getting better" kick in and begin?
It matters not to what the "That" implies. If they were better they would do better. As it is what we got is what we musta sought. Depressing ain't it?

How do we know they aren't ALL PARTISAN in nature and some most or all of what was written then and believed are complete fabrications manufactured to deceive? Rewriting history happens a lot in real time and you can catch the SOB's and challenge them. In 40 years they'll all be dead. Only the slanted untrue flat-out LIES in the words will remain. Woe is us. Poor us. We never had a chance. :(

Yesterday, they were “very tough criminal elements“, last week they were “unknown Middle Easterners“ and MS-13. On televised reports we see poor people: thin men, women and children, homeless and ragged. So which is it?

Are foreigners "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States, just by being IN the United States (or its territory)?...The legal definition of jurisdiction is "the authority given by law to a court to try cases and rule on legal matters within a particular geographic area and/or over certain types of legal cases." According to this definition, if foreigners are NOT subject to the jurisdiction of the US then American police could not arrest them - and they could not be tried in American courts. This is the protection foreign diplomats get with "diplomatic immunity". If every foreigner had this protection, there would be no need for a special exemption for diplo... less
