While maybe a small scale issue, the solution isn’t an authoritative order that tries to rewrite the U.S. Constitution and bypass democracy.

- sleepyguy 4mo agoPerhaps, but this is definitely an issue/problem and the US should model it's policy after the EU on this specific issue.
- bigmadshoe 4mo agoDo you have much evidence that this is a real problem on the scale of the US population? I would imagine a tiny percentage of citizens were anchor children (i.e. people whose parents came to the US purely to give birth to them, then left again)

- bigmadshoe 4mo ago30k-60k out of >3m births doesn’t seem like a massive problem to me. Maybe the energy spent fighting this could be better spent elsewhere.
- atonse 4mo agoSources for your numbers? I'm curious to learn more about how widespread this issue is. I personally have heard of 2-3 cases in my small social circle, so to me it feels more common. But I am having trouble finding actual numbers.
- iAMkenough 4mo agoNo perhaps. A change to the U.S. Constitution requires a democratic process, not achievable by authoritarian executive order.
