That a hard fought battle was waged and an agreement decided upon. This would have changed the rules for immigration in this country.

But do you recall who called on Republicans to ditch the agreement?

Yes, none other than Donald Trump. He said he wanted this as an issue to run on in the campaign.

I’m terrified. Obama’s signature is on his citizenship papers and I worry that they could strip my spouse’s citizenship even for that reason. Or his Asian brown skin. He’s the breadwinner and I couldn’t survive without him.

Edit: I wanted to add that she explains the process well. It took years for us and it’s completely complicated for no reason whatsoever.

I was born to two natural born American parents overseas in a Dutch hospital so I have a Dutch birth certificate and Dept of State issued naturalization papers but I am supposed to still be an American because both by parents were natural born Americans.

Doesn't mean I'm not worried. They could still do it to me as well. I'm a Liberal Progressive Democrat and I will never deny that or change who I am. And that may be reason enough.

they will use this to prove to all of us that there are no laws and rules they will follow - we must be cowed.
Other nations have figured out the US is not to be trusted, no matter what agreements and treaties have been signed. American citizens are learning this too.
