This is what Trump wants.
Papers, please.
Guilty until proven innocent, unfortunately.
Literally. Having to show your fucking birth certificate to prove you are a citizen?
I suppose next they will demand the "long form" birth certificate like they did with Obama. And then they will show it and it won't matter anyway.

So, no different than the first time?
As of 2023, there were over 42 million Spanish speakers in America.
I used to live in South Gate, a neighborhood in L.A. We were the only family in the neighborhood that didn't speak Spanish. Even the local pizza places didn't understand us well enough to order from. We didn't complain, we were the white people who chose to move there and we were fine with it. But we're talking about a neighborhood full of homeowners, not undocumented immigrants. Some of them were in the U.S. for generations.
And then there's Florida:
First settled by the Spanish in the 16th century, 19% of Floridians now speak Spanish, which is the most widely taught second language. In Miami, 67% of residents spoke Spanish as their first language in 2000.
In addition, there are several other major cities in Florida with a sizable percentage of the population able to speak Spanish, most notably Tampa (18%) and Orlando (16.6%).

The U.S. has no official language. Spanish is one of many spoken in the U.S. A large proportion of the U.S. used to be Mexico. Of course we have a ton of people here who speak Spanish.
But, you know, "they all look and sound alike."
The U.S. has no official language
I'm sure that bill is just around the corner
Almost certainly. They've been wanting it for years now.
Fuck the police
Fuck maga and the racist bigots dominating American policy.
Thank you American voters.
Honest question and genuinely not suggesting anything, but, Isn't this what the second amendment is for?
There is a difference between second amendment culture and your second amendment rights.
2A culture is pretty much MAGA: "Respect my authority or I won't respect your right to exist." As a former conservative who owns guns, this line of thinking is very pervasive through gun owning circles. But you need to remember that they will fully support laws that bar the other people from owning guns like the Black Panthers.
Bare in mind that the Constitution is just a piece of paper. It only has power when the government and the will of the people give it power. You can assume for at least the next four years, the Constitution will be seen as "rules that allow me to stay in power but don't protect you from me".
How would this family getting in a shootout with the cops have helped them?
the 2A lunatics are the ones who want the tyranny
