There is one thing the MSM does very well: misinform the public. Here's a story fable that's a good example.
When he first came to the United States after escaping civil war in Sierra Leone and spending almost a decade in a refugee camp, Dauda Sesay had no idea he could become a citizen. But he was told that if he followed the rules and stayed out of trouble, after some years he could apply. As a U.S. citizen, he would have protection....
So he became a citizen through the usual naturalization process.
...But in recent months, as President Donald Trump reshapes immigration and the country’s relationship with immigrants, that belief has been shaken for Sesay and other naturalized citizens. There’s now fear that the push to drastically increase deportations and shift who can claim America as home, through things like trying to end birthright citizenship, is having a ripple effect....
Gee. "Birthright citizenship" (a deceptive misnomer) snuck into the fable. Why? Read on! We'll get there.
...Some are worried that if they leave the country, they will have difficulties when trying to return, fearful because of accounts of naturalized citizens being questioned or detained by U.S. border agents. They wonder: Do they need to lock down their phones to protect their privacy? Others are hesitant about moving around within the country, after stories like that of a U.S. citizen accused of being here illegally and detained even after his mother produced his birth certificate....
Good propaganda! "Some" and "others"--never named, of course, are "worried." And there's no small irony in mentioning a mistake by a Government agent (they do happen) when the MSM also tells you that Government is perfect and cannot make mistakes. Remember CoVid?
Some Government mistakes are more better than others. See??
SIX grafs in we learn something which is pertinent:
There has been no evidence of an uptick in denaturalizations so far in this Trump administration.
IOW, the story is BS--except for the tale told by one guy.
AssPress finds an immigrant-activist or two who also mention "some" and "others" who have "fears." Damn!! That's enough to begin impeachment proceedings against Trump, no??
Remember that we red-highlighted the term "birthright citizenship" above? Yes indeed: that's the reason for the story fable here.
They start with a huge lie-by-omission:
...The first naturalization law passed in 1790 by the new country’s Congress said citizenship was for any “free white person” of good character. Those of African descent or nativity were added as a specific category to federal immigration law after the ravages of the Civil War in the 19th century, which was also when the 14th Amendment was added to the Constitution to establish birthright citizenship....
They "forgot" that that Amendment was written ONLY to make former slaves into citizens.
It was NOT written to make "citizens" out of babies of illegals. In fact, in its only SCOTUS test so far, the Court decided that a baby born of LEGALLY-PRESENT aliens is a US citizen. But AssPress doesn't mention that, do they?
"Birthright citizenship" is coming up again. So you can expect a lot more of these Misinformation-plus-Propaganda crap from AssPress, NBCABCCBSNPRCNN.
We're warning you so you don't have to "worry" and "fear" over seeing them.
See?? We're nice guys.
