They are working to screw as many other people as they can. And if they are not white men so much the better.

And ignore the 150 years of precedence after it became ashes. I hope whatever judge pulls this case isn’t MAGA, though I’m sure the DOJ will attempt to get it before SCOTUS, skipping lower courts.

Fully half the States want there to be a permanent underclass of non-citizens, is that it?
Let me guess: because citizens should be white Christian males, is that what they have in mind?
