Three federal judges have struck down Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship since he signed it in January 2025. Now, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the case.
I know you’re getting blasted with downvotes but your original point isn’t bad imo, just…misguided maybe? I agree that it doesn’t seem right someone who’s 8.5 months pregnant can buy a plane ticket and stay with a friend/family member until they have the baby, making the child a US citizen.
But this doesn’t happen as often as the right would have you believe. It’s like the claim single mothers on food stamps are buying steaks and only having babies to get more government handouts. Does it happen? Sure, of course some selfish people will abuse the system. But again, nowhere near the amount the right would have you believe. And to be honest if the price of having a robust social safety net is that some people will try to scam it for personal gain, then so be it.
