No worries, foreign universities and governments are happily trying to outdo each other to hire as many American scientists as possible. That's not going to be a problem for America in the future right? I mean it's not like America's technological advancements since WW2 were frequently dependant on its ability to recruit foreign scientists or anything right?

If they're under the justification of the US does that mean that they are entitled to the same rights and protections as prisoners still held in the US? Prisoners in the US have a right to be protected from physical and sexual violence, to medical care, they have limited first amendment rights and a right to communicate with their families in most circumstances. Prison overcrowding has been ruled to violate prisoners 8th amendment rights multiple times.

It would also help if they could reliability access the healthcare they need in order to work.

It's Trump's secret plan to address student loans. Weaken the dollar until we experience rapid severe devaluation. When the Big Mac hits $1,000 paying off existing loans will be easy for the people lucky enough to still be able to find a job.

I don't know about the million dollars but the right to film in public and to film public officials while they are doing their jobs is covered by the first amendment's freedom of the press. It's gone to SCOTUS multiple times and been upheld and strengthened each time. Not saying that there's no way this particular SCOTUS would overturn those rulings but it would be a huge deal and seriously negatively affect not individuals but a bunch of major corporations so that at least would probably give them some pause.

According to an amendment to the US Constitution that was added after the Civil War anyone born on US soil under the jurisdiction of the United States is a natural born citizen. There is no legitimate legal framework that allows for the deportation of a natural born citizen.

Edit: The US also has no legitimate legal framework to strip a natural born citizen of their citizenship but Trump is trying to do that as well.

There's also a degree to which conservative media and conservative culture teach their people to act like they are more inline with the mainstream. There's old stuff that's been going on forever like using coded language so they talk about an "urban problem" instead of openly saying that black people are the problem or they'll talk about "New York people" instead of openly saying that Jewish people are the problem. If you haven't been exposed to that then some of what they're saying can sound somewhat reasonable.

Then there is the "respect" thing. Conservative parents are big about emphasizing how you say something over what you say. So they're fine with saying that disabled people should just die as long as it's not phrased that way. It should sound more like "It's sad that some people are sick but there are only so many resources and we need to put them where they're most productive. Hopefully their family can take care of them." It's more etiquette than real respect but they make a big deal out of it.

You listed all the back to Johnson.

Clinton explicitly didn't support segregation. One of the biggest influences in his life was his mom's parents, who he spent a significant portion of his childhood living with. They owned a grocery store and faced frequent harassment and threats because they refused to segregate their business. There's plenty to go after Big Willy for but this particular point is incorrect. You can't even shoehorn in his VP like with Obama because Gore was an avid civil rights supporter as well.

I would like to understand the meaning of Goatse.

Hopefully they can get adult children of undocumented immigrants who were born in the US. They have already had their citizenship recognized but the EO doesn't say that it's limited to new births so they should still have standing on the basis that, if taken as written, their citizenship is at risk of being retroactively stripped.
