    Fourteenth Amendment:

    All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

        What i don't get about this whole though.. like if someone is born here, and their parents wer both born here. How do you revoke their citizenship and deport them. Where to? Nearest available non American born ancestors? My great grandmother is German. Would they deport me to Germany? How would any other country react to people being deported there with no ties to that country?

        What i do get is they're going to have to set up some sort of internment camp to put all of these reporters while they sort out those details...

          the same thing the empire does to other refugees it creates: criminalize → incarcerate → kill
