2. This is a disturbing thought because it could affect my own family

I'm US born, as are all my siblings and extended family. However my daughter-in-law (married to my son for almost 30 years) comes from a Filipino family. Both of her parents as well as her older brother were born in the Philippines. They emigrated to the USA in 1970 and my DIL was born here.

I guess that makes her the "anchor baby," however they didn't think of it that way. They became naturalized citizens as soon as possible and they never looked back. DIL's older brother was about 3 years old at the time, and he has no memory of his infant years in the Philippines. Her father passed away about 4 years ago but her mother is still living in New Jersey.

Now Chump (through Ramaswamy) is saying that my DIL's brother and mother have no right to live here, and they could be rounded up. This is terrifying as well as extremely upsetting.
