We're finally having the conversation that the South is part of the Union and deserves national political Democratic investment.
Too bad it took losing to an Authoritarian President to get attention down here.

Imagine the DMV line now when we have to apply for citizenship every 4 years. I hope my male chaperone doesn't forget my papers.
Please arm yourself with knowledge. Birthright citizenship is not a policy choice it is a constitutional imperative (14th Amendment). It can no more be signed away by Executive Order than the First Amendment.
Now that attacking birthright citizenship has become a Day 1 project for the incoming Trump admin, I dug out this rather comprehensive piece I wrote in 2011. It includes the source of Sen. Lindsay Graham’s emergence as the pitch man on this issue. politicalresearch.org/2011/03/01/c...
