Yeah, see, anyone that has the money to fly here to have a baby is probably someone the people who oppose birthright citizenship don't have a problem with. Because that doesn't happen unless you're rich as fuck.

But, personally, as an American, I don't see the problem. If you're here long enough to have a baby, then it's very likely you've been here for at least a year on a student or work visa, and you're not likely leaving anytime soon. You don't just pop in and have a baby, lmao. Seriously the number of kids you could possibly refer to is in the hundreds, if that, and applies mainly to the wealthy, who aren't affected by this. Just spout some white replacement theory, and we can go to ignoring you faster.

This shouldn’t even be a “left vs right” or “progressive vs conservative” thing.

Things that are said by a right-winger, likely an extreme right-winger.
