85% of the population, over 220 million people, were born in the country. They are US citizens by virtue of being born in the US. All have ancestors who were not born in the US.

None of this has anything to do with birth right citizenship. No one is talking about stripping 220 million people of their citizenship. It is about white nationalism, and we shouldn't pretend that it is about anything else.

Right here the other day I saw someone post "I agree that people shouldn't hop across the border to have a baby." Sure. Those women in Norway go into labor and then hop on a plane to the US. Oh, wait. It isn't Norwegians they are worried about, is it? This insanity isn't about foreigners, either. It is Black and brown people who are being targeted in various ways, no matter their status, no matter where they were born or where their parents were born.
