I am shocked that birthright citizenship was saved by just one vote by the Supreme Court. [View all]

I know this Supreme Court is controlled by six radicals, but the 14th Amendment is so clear on this issue that I can't believe it was only upheld by one vote. If you are a Latino who voted for Trump remember this decision, you are not safe and should never vote for a Republican again if you want to stay in the country you were born in.
