revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

Each year in the United States, roughly 2,500–2,600 children and teenagers under 18 are killed by firearms, and more than 11,000 are treated in emergency departments for nonfatal gun-related injuries.
This averages to about 35 children and teens shot every day, including those killed and wounded.

Former president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, was sentenced to 45 years in prison after being convicted in a U.S. court of running a “narco-state” that helped send South American cocaine to the United States.
He is now free thanks to a pardon. Cocaine deaths have risen significantly.

You can hear Jose scream in excruciating pain as an ICE vehicle runs over his foot while he's being detained.
His family says Jose is a good man, with no criminal record, who works in roofing.
He needs to be released from detention to receive appropriate medical care.

It takes a LOT of time AND $.
Applying for a green card takes at least one year and ~1400$, and then (usually) you have to wait 5 more years before you can apply for citizenship which is another $700. During this process you also have to pay $90 for fingerprinting twice.
