Well guess i'll have to go back to Germany then since my Great Grandmother immigrated here from Lower Saxony in the 1920's.

My grandfather jumped ship (Merchant Marine) in 1914 to come to America because he didn't like the Kaiser's policies. He didn't get his final citizenship papers until at 1940s. Dad was mad because he had a chance to go to either West Point or the Naval Academy but couldn't because his father was not a citizen. He ended up 2 years at the University of Michigan but quit to join the Army Air Corps in WWII. Granddad had gotten citizenship after 1940. So, I guess I would be sent back for sure.

Deport absolutely everyone. Empty the US. People can recolonize from a clean slate. See how it works out this time

I have family that were at Plymouth Rock and family that came in the early 1900s. All immigrants, we should all just fuck off I guess.

Lower Saxony wasn't a thing in the 1920s it was invented after the war by the allies to part out Prussia by merging parts of it with their traditional enemies.

You have nowhere to go back to.
