All Americans are moving backward in the endlessly rightward
political lurch. Americans are overcome by debt peonage with no
guarantee of living wage employment, housing, or health care. The energy
used to defend Trump and the Koch brothers on this one point would be
better spent on a much needed political movement for this century.
But that requires struggle and hard work. We will even have to
struggle with one another as the system circles the drain. One thing is
for certain. Black people will suffer the most if the doctrine of
birthright citizenship is changed in any way.
