Should Donald Trump issue an executive order purporting to strip millions of children of immigrants of their American citizenship? The obvious answer might seem to be no, and that no serious person would entertain such a profoundly racist assault on the Constitution. Yet this exact proposal appeared on Wednesday in the Washington Post, in the form of an op-ed by Michael Anton. The piece is both malicious and mendacious, a xenophobic cri de coeur that rests on lazy, easily refuted lies. It would barely meet Breitbart’s editorial standards, and its publication in the Post can only help to legitimize a constitutional conspiracy theory designed to denaturalize nonwhite American citizens.
