Ah, yes, because the best way to uphold the Constitution and foster equality is clearly to start labeling children based on their parents’ immigration status. That’ll surely help us unite as a nation and encourage opportunities for all. What’s next? Including parents’ income brackets or credit scores while we’re at it?

Birth certificates are legal documents meant to record facts about an individual’s birth, not to act as a scorecard for their parents’ legal standing. Besides, assigning such labels to children is not only unnecessary but invites stigmatization and could have long-term societal consequences. Let’s not create additional barriers for the youngest members of our society before they’ve even had a chance to walk.

But sure, let’s keep brainstorming ideas to divide communities instead of strengthening them. Sounds productive!
