Babies are an afterthought in the birthright citizenship case, advocates say vpm.org/npr-news/npr-n…

The admin plans to detain 30,000 kids and parents every day in family detention, per its budget out today. This is about the total detained daily nationwide in the average pre-Trump year. Since it's all debt-financed, you'll be paying for Kiddy Detention for decades.

On birthright citizenship, it is fundamentally a case about babies…innocent babies. In a brief filed by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (@USCCB) and Catholic Legal Immigration Network, they wrote: “Children do nothing wrong by being born in the United States.

Whether it is their opposition to the Constitution’s birthright citizenship clause for babies, their opposition to public schools, their agenda to deny undocumented kids the ability to get an education, their support to deny U.S. citizen children in mixed status homes the ability to get the Child Tax Credit or housing, their opposition to childhood vaccines, and their piece that makes children nothing more than collateral damage for their culture war agenda, it is crystal clear that the Heritage Foundation is profoundly anti-baby and anti-child.

Charles Barkley on CBS tonight: “The way some of these immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace. What we’re doing to some of these amazing immigrants is really unfortunate and really sad.” Charles Barkley is not a politician. Not an activist. Not a Democrat. He is one of the most beloved sports figures in American history saying this on national television.
