Yes, it is. Birthright citizenship had its basis in inherited English common law. The Lynch inheritance case in 1844 (born to Irish parents in the US) attests to it. The 14th amendment removed the exception in law for slaves.https://t.co/RIJyo8C9Q1

No, Trumpist executive orders remain anti-constitutional, illegal and invalid. SCOTUS made no reference to the underlying merits of the birthright citizenship case, just on how lower-court justices can respond. This is like the immunity ruling. The justices did not rule on Trump. https://t.co/3Epar9wCC0

Congressman Garcia was an asylum seeker which xenophobic Trumpkins never acknowledge and is a naturalized US citizen. "To be elected, a representative must be at least 25 years old, a United States citizen for at least seven years..."https://t.co/41iM9yLHX7 https://t.co/nNSHWMQfEe

He's not. He's already picking up at least one likely 2028 primary challenger, former Congressman Lamb.

The country isn't your yard. Xenophobic Trumpkins are naturally stupid. If your child is born in the same hospital, he doesn't have more rights.

Hospitals cannot deny emergency care from US residents regardless of status. That does not mean unauthorized residents have access to publically subsidized insurance. Generally they don't have access to social welfare benefits.

I hope you will back the most honest fiscal conservative , Congressman Massie, who is the target of Trump in his renomination next year, already forming a PAC to primary him.

The $7.8T debt man is increasing the debt ceiling by another $5T he is borrowing from your grandchildren to pay off his own ongoing $2T deficits while spending unnecessary hundreds of billions to maintain an unconstitutional military empire starting undeclared wars. https://t.co/8iF9nrpqL6

Chip "Dunce" Roy doesn't know the difference between Medicare and Medicaid. Unauthorized aliens are ineligible for Medicare. Generally, the cost of Medicaid is split between the feds and states, including emergency care to aliens. States may otherwise cover aliens using their $. https://t.co/50F2uEjTh2

The OP is lying. AOC is telling the truth in conventional nonemergency healthcare. Emergency care is provided without regard to status but if states offer Medicaid to unauthorized aliens it does so without federal matching funds.

CNN's coverage has been to focus the reconciliation spending bill as Draconian healthcare funding cuts at the expense of poor people and rural hospitals to pay for rich people tax cuts. Congresswoman Dingell is trying to work Grayson's old line about GOP healthcare: hurry up/die

I agree Elon is unduly optimistic over the prospects of a new party. Wallace had regional success in 1968, and another billionaire, Ross Perot, earned a significant percentage in 1992 but no states.
