>ideological screenings of immigrants to prevent “Marxists” from entering They lost any excuse to complain about this when they singled out Venezuelans for not being as left wing as the other illegals. >to designate drug cartels as “unlawful enemy combatants" They literally are, by definition. >It would also significantly raise tensions between the U.S. and Mexico, to say the least. So what? Mexico's economy is almost totally dependent on ours, they have no nukes and an irrelevant military, they have no leverage.

Even if they did, they're not being violated anyway. You're either a citizen or you're not, that is the process.

If Trump actually did any of this, that is.
