Under the common law, the arguments that aliens had no rights, that alienage was heritable to the children (Butts v Penny, 1677) had justified slavery in the colonies.
The 14th amendment was intended to secure, by constitutional amendment, against any resurrection of these claims.

When Joe Biden referred to "shylocks" in 2014, the ADL admonished him. I look forward to seeing the group similarly criticize President Trump for using the term today.

The shocking thing about Trump tossing off a “shylock” slur is he pushes antisemitic conspiracy theories, said he needs accountants with “funny little hats,” does dual loyalty smears, openly speaks of Good Jews and Bad Jews, hired neo-Nazis, and more, and media still says he’s opposing antisemitism.
Peace demonstrators have been beaten, foreign students have been disappeared, and educational institutions have been broken and tarred for being "antisemitic" through a series of tortured jingoistic inferences, while Donald Trump constantly and explicitly tells us what he thinks of Jews
"No death tax, no estate tax, no going to the banks and borrowing from, in some cases, a fine banker. And in some cases, shylocks and bad people."

It doesn’t matter if they were citizens or even if they were criminals.

Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.
