I assume you meant 48 million legal immigrants? For the citizens I think their strategy is to get SCOTUS to undo birthright citizenship for that type of citizen and to come up with complex ways of undoing other people’s citizenship by suggesting they committed fraud in the process or something.

What do you mean “For that type of citizen”? There is no definable “type of citizen” that (after deporting all the foreign-born population regardless of citizenship) that gets you anywhere near the 100 million total unless it is something like “non-White”. (If you imagine that it something like US-born children of non-citizen parents, which is what most of the discussion of revoking birthright citizenship focusses on, that doesn't get you anywhere close.)

Yes. Fixed.

And, yes, I fear that is the strategy and/or plan. I am vehemently opposed, but I'm not sure how to effectively oppose this. I still have some hope for sanity on this from the Supreme Court, but that's the last line of defense that I see, and I don't have much influence there.
