The Supreme Court agreed on Friday to take up the constitutionality of President Donald Trump’s order on birthright citizenship declaring that children born to parents who are in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens.

The justices will hear Trump’s appeal of a lower-court ruling that struck down the citizenship restrictions. They have not taken effect anywhere in the country.

The case will be argued in the spring. A definitive ruling is expected by early summer.

How many of you can actually PROVE that your parents were here legally when they were born?

I don't mean "of course, my parents were Americans." I mean what do you have actually ON PAPER in your pocket or in your home that PROVES that? Do you have your parents birth certificates handy? Got their passports with you? This can be used to fuck over just about everyone in this country if they want it to, and guess what? They do.

More importantly: would paper make a difference?

Got their passports with you?

You mean the fraudulent passports your parents acquired with their fraudulent birth certificates? Don't worry about trying to figure out which hospital they were born at, we already booked their tickets to Cambodia
