Breaking down the birthright-citizenship decision

The Supreme Court has affirmed birthright citizenship.  At least the issue is decided.  It’s strange that birthright citizenship is almost entirely a policy in the Americas. 

Pick an enemy.  Russia, China, Hamas, it doesn’t matter.  Send a million pregnant women to the US to give birth to American citizens, then bring the babies back home to be raised as operatives or fanatics.  These indoctrinated and trained American citizens return to the US to implement the nefarious plot.

What’s the nefarious plot?

I don’t know, but the obvious play is to get their shit-hooks into local politics by settling in one area, then use that as a base to expand their influence.  

The government doesn’t need to make it easy, but it’s clear that some politicians don’t like the US as it currently exists.

The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), a US territory northeast of Guam in the Pacific Ocean, has been flooded with so-called “birth tourists” since 2009 when then-president Barack Obama introduced a visa-waiver program for Chinese nationals.

China-watchers estimate about 1,000 companies offer birth tourism to the Northern Mariana Islands, other US overseas territories and even the US mainland.

The visa system is how the government grants permission for a foreigner to enter America.  The State Department can withhold the privilege.

No foreigner is permitted to obtain a visitor visa for the primary purpose of acquiring U.S. citizenship for a child by giving birth in the U.S.

Birth tourism companies advertise in foreign countries.  Fortunately, we have embassies in those countries who can help shut them down. 

Existing laws can be enforced now to curtail birth tourism, but Congress should legislate to ensure the solutions are permanent.
