It’s not required. You have birthright from being born. This question was settled in 1898:

UNITED STATES v. WONG KIM ARK

A child born in the United States, … becomes at the time of his birth a citizen of the United States, by virtue of the first clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

That 14th amendment is unqualified. The paper is a bureaucratic expediency.

I invite you to try to find case law that reaches the opposite conclusion.

cool great, but those are voluntary processes and the birthright is a right by birth (5head), not by paperwork.

You dodged the actual point tho. people are owed due process and the presumption of innocence and snap jusgements are instead being made on the color of people’s skin. And again, that football player they sent to el salvador had a fucking greencard, he was a legal resident.

this isnt nazi germany pal, you dont just go up to people and demand their papers and then send them to a fucking camp whether they have them or not.

And while I’m at it, suppose someone is born in the US but not in a hospital. They’d have the claim but not the papers to show. Fuck 'em?

We doin law by statistical probability? What are the odds their kid flushed their papers down the toilet that morning. They just SOL?

There’s a process for determining citizenship and “that tattooed guy with brown skin looks illegal. Send him to the torture slave camp” aint it champ. He even had his papers. Try again.

Unless you’re Israel. Then you can touch whatever boat you feel like.

I am not a shitty person…

You don’t get to decide or declare your own reputation.

He’s out of line, but he’s right.
