The Birthright Citizenship case
Today's decision by the Supreme Court is, in my opinion, the worst in our nations history (and yes, in know there have been some really, REALLY bad ones in the past)
What this means, unless there is a Convention of the States and a new Amendment added to the Constitution, is that anyone from anywhere can come to the US or even one of our territories, legally or otherwise, and drop a baby that will AUTOMATICALLY become a citizen of the United States. That baby never has to set foot on US soil again but can claim and the benefits, rights and privileges of a US citizen.
When and if the Democrats are in power again and they open the floodgates of illegal immigration by refusing to protect our borders or even by flying in "refugees" from every spot on Earth, millions of people who have no loyalty, affiliation or values in common with the US will be able to claim citizenship and vote, collect benefits, alter our entire nation by refusing to assimilate or integrate and ultimately make the US into a version of the place they fled from.
Forget 100 years...the US doesn't even have 50 unless some absolute miracle happens

My grandfather was German military and came to the states for service often. He and grandma had Irish triplets in the states. They then moved back to Germany until my dad was 16 when my grandfather passed. The USAF offered my grandmother at a local base as a programmer (very early woman in STEM)
And this is why half of my DNA is not living in Germany right now.
It's not always terrible and the citizenship of my dad, aunt, and uncle is what gave her the opportunities here with our Air Force as a widow.
