Some woman who is 8 months pregnant comes to the US on a tourist visa and gives birth, then goes home with the baby. And then somehow that kid gets automatic US citizenship. And it applies even if the mother is not even legally allowed in the country. And you think that is not insane?

- root_axis 3mo agoAn 8 months pregnant woman would typically be denied entry during immigration processing. It doesn't seem like a big deal.

And then their children also live here and aren't citizens, and their grandchildren, etc. It's not that birthright citizenship is ideal, but it prevents some other, bigger problems.
