Based upon the best estimates I have seen, birth tourism accounts for as many as 20,000 of those babies, which is much more than I expected. But you are still inflating the birth tourism by multiples of 20 or 30.


Should be 0, and the issue is wider than that. Which you know but are willfully ignoring.

Irrelevant.

I've heard on social media today people argue the US is a melting pot of various nationalities and cultures. Is there a point in time we don't have to be a melting pot? Have we reached it?

Again, I go back to the absolute horse crap of an opinion written by Roberts.

There were so many off ramps. Nobody bothered to mention the even the frickin English got rid of their own common law and there is no more birthright in England.

it’s in the constitution

I mean, I’m not a fan of it. But, we have a process to amend the constitution. Can we not follow the process to get this done?

Don't think it's right to force a teenager or adult who has lived their entire life in the US to move to some random country they've never been to simply because their parents moved here illegally. That person is an American in my eyes.



That sounds like something they should take up with their law breaking parents. Not our problem

No, because one of this country’s two major parties supports things that are destructive.

Not suggesting an alternative, I just think that option is lost to us.

Hispanics make up less of a percentage of SNAP than black people while have more total population. Proportionally less Hispanics are on SNAP than white people. Instead of boogeymaning them, we should be discussing ways to cut off the welfare system allowing too large of a percentage of our population to be on benefits from cradle to grave.

If you take homes where the head of household is Hispanic, the participation rate of those households in SNAP is at 23%. That’s getting close to black household participation rates.

The argument against birthright citizenship is common sense
So that shows where the argument for birthright citizenship comes from
