Trump’s proposal to strip birthright citizenship from those born in this nation is unconstitutional.

FYI: I am a writer: poet/singer-songwriter. I believe strongly in full consent. I am a terrible liar - y'all will know if I do something horrid. Also, I have no love life anyway. You can read or listen to my works without fear - if I was going to do something awful, you'd know before I could speak.
