The Supremes have gutted the VRA (and, declaring the Constitution “colorblind,” as for so long it was “White” was, and is again, the only color it sees, they are castrating the 15th), and are on deck to finish off the remnants next term.

Who’s going to tell Ken that there were no “illegal immigrants” in 1787, because there were no immigration laws? One might also point out Texas is one of those “states that attract illegal immigrants.” And it’s up to Congress to “correct the ills that have occurred.” If any. Because the Court has ruled, over and over again, that “person” means…person. It’s not up to Trump to change that.
