Ban Birthright Citizenship

Birthright citizenship was enacted when our founders wanted as many immigrants as possible to build our new country.

This should have been banned two decades ago.

One parent needs to be a citizen for the child to be one.

I’ve known OB/GYNs who had to deliver babies whose mother had just come into the country eight months pregnant – have their baby for free on our tab – then leave with their American citizen to come back whenever they please.

It would de incentivize the desire to come here illegally.

There are Asian companies called “Birth America “ that train people how to go through the process… It’s sick.

(There were no planes in the past when this started !!!)

I read the title on my way in and presumed I was going to disagree. Nope. You’re exactly right. People are openly exploiting loopholes in our systems and it needs to be stopped.

Your suggestion of at least 1 parent must be a US citizen would stop this exploit.

So, if I understand correctly, birthright citizenship would still exist for people who are already citizens, passing on their citizenship to their children, but not for the pregnant foreign lady waddling off the plane to give birth to a ticket to her own American residency/ citizenship via a back door, yes?

I think that’s a really good solution.:slightly_smiling_face:
