There's the whole tech bro side of things that have been mad since his breakup with Elon Musk.

But the reason that this doesn't make them mad, specifically the targeting of undocumented immigrants or citizens who were born to undocumented immigrants,

is because their interpretation of American law is one that is very conservative and is very filtered through racism and white supremacy and all of the isms that you can think of.

There was a very interesting case that was breaking news a few weeks ago of a, I want to say law student at the University of Florida,

who won an award for arguing that the Constitution was only meant for white people, only meant to protect them.

I think there's echoes of that same interpretation of American law that you see with people who will try to undo long-established tradition in American law to try to make it more narrow and exclude more people because their understanding of America and what it should be is one that's based off exclusion as opposed to inclusion.

Yes.

So it's a fun one.

I mean, I love history.

I love these little historical sort of domino effects.

But

So the 14th Amendment is the amendment for which we see this sort of birthright citizenship clause saying that anyone who is under the jurisdiction of the United States and born in the United States is automatically a citizen.

And this was made because shortly after the Civil War, Black people were still being targeted by those white Southerners who were racist and didn't want to have

any sort of citizenship granted to black people.

So this amendment was made in order to grant citizenship to these formerly enslaved people who were not considered citizens before the end of slavery.

Both free and enslaved black people were not considered citizens.

If you look back into the Dred Scott case, you'll see why the Supreme Court decided there.

But this was made in order to protect people, in order to include people who were excluded through racial means, through

through hatred, through just this prejudice, right?

So as we see nowadays, we're sort of going back on that spirit of including people and protecting people who are American because they're trying to reinstill this hierarchy of when the law should apply to you and when the Constitution should protect you.
