"In a xenophobic rant during a cabinet meeting, Trump went off on Somalis and Ilhan Omar, the congressional representative who is from Somalia and is a US citizen. He said Somalia 'stinks' and is 'no good for a reason'."

“'They contribute nothing. I don’t want them in our country, I’ll be honest with you,' he said. He called Omar 'garbage' and said 'we’re going to go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country'."

A meditation on immigration.

^{Mike Brock (Notes From The Circus)}

"Then, when the cruelty becomes undeniable, point to the legal category as justification: 'They shouldn’t have been here. They broke the law. What happens to them is their own fault.'

"Karoline Leavitt: 'You’re either a U.S. citizen or not. You can’t be a U.S. citizen and a citizen of another country.'

Looking forward to waving goodbye to Elon Musk, who is a citizen of the US, Canada, and South Africa.

Also, Melania Trump and Trump's own son Barron hold dual US and Slovenian citizenship."
