If they are non-citizens, they are not american. Pretty cut and dry distinction. Nothing fascist about this.

I have neither seen nor heard anything that would lead me to believe most of the protesters are non-citizens or non-resident. You are not providing any evidence, just conveniently excusing this overreach by the executive branch by ignoring the rights of the protesters with a facile lie.

Maybe you should read again what I said.

> If they are non-citizens, they are not american.

Tell me where I said "most" in that sentence.

I really don't have to. You're arguing your talking points, but not to any verifiable reality. You should have said "if they're all citizens, they are american" which is the same thing you're saying, but without the implication you're adding that those people protesting have no rights. So you should probably say what you mean instead of this mealy-mouthed weaseling you're doing.
