Birthright citizens are those that are born on US soil but their parents weren’t citizens of the US.
Naturalized citizens are those that took a test and forsaken their former country’s citizenship to become citizens of the US.
Citizens are those that were born on US soil and their parents were also citizens of the US.
Even with countries that allow dual citizenship, in some cases you have to re-acquire your previous citizenship because you automatically renounce it after getting US citizenship. It’s usually just a simple process of showing proof and swearing in front of a consular officer.
You don’t actually need to renounce it. I have acquired US Citizenship by Derivation and my citizenship in People’s Republic of China is automatically revoked.
I mean, they probably didn’t know until my US Citizen mom went back to China for a visit, and since US laws are not some secret, they know I’m a US Citizen by Derivation, so I’m no longer a PRC citizen.
They are all citizens.
They have all the same rights.
Trump won’t draw any distinction between them.
Trump has already been attacking the rights of everyone, including citizens.
The graphic implies a sequence or hierarchy (à la “First they came”) with Trump either planning to destroy each pillar himself or have them toppled like dominoes. However, this does not accurately reflect the nature of the attacks that have already occurred. Trump did not step through a hierarchy, he attacked everyone that he perceived as a threat to his power–much more similarly to a bomb placed in the middle of the pillars toppling all at once.

He has very specifically been going after birthright citizenship and has deported children born here because their parents weren’t citizens. That gains it its own category in the cartoon.
Damn, I guess the artist really does have to educate the critic.
By all means, feel free to educate.

You don’t have to renounce old citizenship to be naturalized in the US.
You do if you’re from a country that doesn’t allow dual citizenship. I mean, it’s not a requirement on the U.S. side, but still.
