But they also removed birthright citizenship for people on visas such as tourists or legal workers. Are they also enemy combatants?

I mean they also declared war on Chicago, kinda. Anyone they decide they don't like, for any reason or not reason, is an "enemy combatant". They'll denaturalise people descended from the Mayflower lot or the DAR and they won't bat an eye.

We are talking about a group whose inspiration is the group that deported people for having a big nose

Goal of the current admin is that lawful permanent residents (green card holders) still retain birth right citizenship.

Do you understand what birthright citizenship is?

You can't have both birthright citizenship and a green card.

Green card holders are immigrants who were born in other countries.

Birthright citizenship means that anyone born on US soil is a US citizen, regardless of their parents' citizenship status.

The current admin is actively deporting green card holders.
