This whole thing is racist, but take particular note of the threat of denaturalization. That's stripping people of their citizenship, and that's the road to mass murder and atrocity.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Jesus, Boomers. You already hold more wealth than any generation and now you want to be tax exempt too? Low income
seniors, yes, sure, I’ll concede that. But if f you have a huge house, cars, IRAs and savings / pension? HARD NO.
A better message would be to stop capping Social Security taxes.
