1. How else would you become a citizen if you were born here?

WTF is this bullshit?

[Faux pas]

2. 24 of

the stoopider states.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

3. All red states.......of course.

Glad to see that my home state of AZ isn't on that list.

[Biophilic]

4. Republicans are not good people.

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

5. The 24 ....

Tennessee and Iowa, along withAlabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho,Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi,Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Okla-homa, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah,West Virginia, and Wyoming, thus face significanteconomic, health, and public-safety issues from poli-cies holding out a “powerful incentive for illegal migra-tion,” Pet. 9, beyond what the Citizenship Clause re-quires.1 The States of Tennessee and Iowa, et al., notified Counsel ofRecord for No. 25-364 and No. 25-365 of their intent to file thisbrief and requested their consent on October 19, 2025. Counselfor all parties in both cases consented to the filing of this brief,waiving any objections to the timing of notice under Sup. Ct. R.

6. The Supreme Court will cite precedence from the Confederate Constitution.

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.

7. So -- this is how the US Constitution gets amended now?

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?

8. UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE

The hate is this country disgusts me.

[IcyPeas]

9. And it's all out in the open now. Sanctioned by trump and republicans

We always knew that hate was there..... but now we know the extent of it.

[mountain grammy]

10. That's pretty sickening..

the same states who would support a "Christian" country I presume.

11. The Trump Confederacy

12. Exactly. They want slave labor
