Birth tourism and abortion have absolutely nothing in common.
The super wealthy who want cheap labor want more immigration. People concerned about traffic, schools, overcrowded cities, water supply and costs of benefits want less. Guess who has the most say?

And can you say that 100% of all pregnant women coming to this country are doing it solely for birth tourism?
No, you can’t. She may be trying to escape a violent situation. She may be coming here looking for a better life for her family back home. The reasons are infinite. And to make that happen she may decide it’s easier just to get rid of that pesky baby.
So anybody supporting this policy has lost all antiabortion bonafides in my eyes.
It’s the plain text of the constitution. There’s no real finessing of that.
No, it isn’t.
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States”
You sure about that?
Yes, I am sure, subject to the jurisdiction thereof meant the full and complete jurisdiction.
Or marry a rich guy who becomes president and you can bring your parents over and the rightwing base yawns while screaming about chain migration…

How would they not be under the full and complete jurisdiction?
What does that even mean? Under the jurisdiction means being in the legal jurisdiction.
Whose jurisdiction would they be under?
They thought batman with nipples was a good look

Not outraged here…amused that people think something on the scale of 0.01-0.03% of the US population is a problem that needs to be tackled, and that Trump is showing “boldness” in doing so.
Holy ■■■■ is that blog bonkers.
The dude actually argues that marriage laws do not fall under the 14th amendment because at the time when it was written and adopted some States had anti-miscegenation laws.
Wow.
That blog also argues that Natural Born Citizen status is inherited through the father.

Having birthright citizenship doesn’t make any sense, which is why 80% of the rest of the world doesn’t have it. Even worse consider this:
“the United States and Canada are the only two developed countries that have it, and Canada is in the process of deciding whether to stop using it.”
But because it is such a magnet to encourage thousands of impoverished citizens of the world to come here it will always be supported by the left. If you are a big government politician poor people are good for business.
It’s the law of the land. Literally in the Constitution.
Sorry.
Yes, it’s almost like the constitution was written by a patriarchy…
bzzt no it isn’t.
