Obviously Ken Cuccinelli was way out of line here. The other day I attempted to look up statistics on birthing tourism and didn't find much. What supports the right's percentage claims of birthing tourism, etc?

Or, would you support birthright citizenship anyway, regardless of the magnitude of the issue?

Except on Earth II.

Man the walls of the clubhouse. The baby invasion is coming!!

1) What makes you think it hasn't been a problem?
- China nationals have been caught doing it.
- Talk to any junior State Department employee sent to embassies overseas; they will tell you it is a big deal.

2) International air travel is a major catalyst.

3) The Biden Administration allowing millions of people in. Many crossing the Rio Grande are not from Latin America, by the way. ~3M citizens have been created by birthright citizenship and loose border policies. This is why most countries don't have birthright citizenship.

Now, a question for you: Why is it important to you (as a policy matter, not as a constitutional issue) for the US to have birthright citizenship?

A mother who has "legal status" is not considered tourism.

"Some mothers get temporary visas specifically to secure U.S. citizenship for their newborns. These mothers are sometimes called “birth tourists.” Such births would be part of about 9,000 births in 2023 to mothers who were residents of foreign countries, according to official birth registration data from National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). These births are not counted as part of the 20,000 births to mothers with legal temporary status in 2023."
