Trump's USCIS officially does not consider the children of illegals, ‘protected migrants’, foreign citizens, non-immigrants such as H-1Bs, students, DACA recipients or visitors to be eligible for any birthright citizenship.

Implementation pursuant to his Day 1 order intends to withhold permanent legitimacy from such foreigners; we are waiting for SCOTUS, if not Congress, to make it final.

Founding Father Rufus King bewares of migrants entering New England, saying it will become less English, less American
The U.S. Northeast would eventually become the most migrant infested region of the U.S.—save for California and Texas and Florida now. America suffered migrant waves in 1848, 1865-1924, and 1965-2024. Foreigners vote considerably for co-ethnics, vote leftward each era, perpetuating the replacement cycle.

DHS memo from today offers authority to reject residency if a migrant uses or asks for medical or food benefits; leave if you are more a burden than a blessing to us.

Possibly 57% of hispanics and 45% of Asians are ‘afraid’ of Trump's policies; studies, surveys indicate up to 75% of asians, hispanics and blacks feel they don't belong; some 45% of non-Whites would leave the U.S. if they could afford to.

On our end, even if you believe the U.S. won't go far enough, it is beneficial to play into the image that America is not welcoming, that America will become stricter as this Trump-era trend continues. The perception strategy applies to Britain and other Western nations the same.
