    If moral character was a real issue, Trump would have lost his citizenship long ago. Together with most politicians in Washington DC.

    Ok let me just follow along with this.

    The trump adim is saying they can revoke citizenship by pointing to anything and claiming “moral character”.

    What’s to stop them from say “circumcision of children is poor noral character” and jist revoke the citizenship of anyone

      Nah he’ll just be deporting the right white people. Fascism starts with tue circle really big. Right now the circle includes new age natural health people, Mormons, and Hispanic men. These will be systematically purged. There always has to be an enemy, and the enemy must always be at the boundary of the in group, so as the in group gets smaller new elements of the in group must be designated as enemies who must be purged out of the in group. We’ve never seen what happens when they run out of groups but I imagine it will just devolve into “Oh you think you’re a REAL American because you’re 6’2”, blond haired, blue eyed, southern baptist, straight, and are descended from original colonists? Well fuck you you degenerate scum for having a cranial ridge that is too large!"

    “Immigration matters are civil matters, meaning that immigrants – whether they are naturalized citizens or not – do not have the right to an attorney in such cases.”

    How can immigrantion matters be considered a civil matter if you criminalized someone’s immigration status?

    Example in Tennessee: "The legislation, criminalizing the act of being in Tennessee without legal immigration status, would come with both jail time and an eviction notice from the state. Judges would be required to issue 72-hour warnings to leave Tennessee to anyone charged or convicted of the crime.

    The first offense would be a misdemeanor, but would rise to a felony if someone is charged a second or subsequent time."

    That means Tennessees courts should immediately shoot that down as unconstitutional because it is a civil matter according to the federal government.

      Because you have a judge who rubber stamps your twisted legal reasoning. And you’ve got a liberal opposition that only knows how to shrug at fascism and deflect blame onto college leftists for not voting harder.

    Not a loophole. Ambiguous and subjective criteria are designed to give decision makers cover to ultimately do whatever they want, unbound by the rules. When the system permits, the system is flawed.
