We can even deport you until somebody brings your birth certificate, which you don't have to carry.
You know, we can do all these things to you because, well, you're not really equal.
You know, you have diminished citizenship, because I write about it in my book.
Basically, you have citizenship, then you have diminished citizenship.
Those who don't have quite the same safeguards anymore are treated the same.
And even though they're U.S.
citizens, because they're considered to have immigrant parents or whatever, they're basically profiled.
And so we see a diminishing of the kind of protections, privileges, and guarantees that we all thought we enjoyed somehow becoming lost or becoming diminished.
You know, kids whose parents might be immigrants are not allowed into classes or are afraid to go get medical care, afraid to do this, afraid to do that.
Well, that's
that's shortchanging their citizenship when they're afraid to do all these things.
So they're not allowed to do those things.
And so that's what we're, you're right, that's the sort of the state we're living in.
And when that gets turned around or how it gets turned around, it's going to be very important to see because it's like any ship that's moving in the same direction.
You know, once you've got this sort of, this set of,
practices occurring it's going to be that ship is going to shift very slowly over and even if we have a major shift in the electorate the next election you know it's still congress is going to still have to find a way to to rest some of these policies away from the administration and assert itself into you know putting order back into the system but right now that what's being said is
very clearly symbolically and uh and in real practice is that this the society is going to be made up of different types of people those with power those who are seen as part of the white establishment uh and there's going to be immigrants coming in who are white not these people who don't fit in and that's what that's the rhetoric we're hearing you know that say somehow we're going to get rid of all refugees except white south africans
It's almost unheard of.
And basically, and Trump's saying, why don't we have more people from Denmark or Norway or Sweden?
Because they're doing extremely well.
