If you are born somewhere, you should count as a legal citizen of that place. No amount of elaborate hypotheticals revolving around pregnant tourists overrides that basic imperative.
dude, I'm pretty sure that MOST countries don't have birthright citizenship these days.

Unfortunately, it's still a pretty radical idea, even though it objectively made America great.
That's what I mean. I'm shocked and offended that most countries don't believe you belong to the country you were born in.

I know that our president doesn't have the legal authority to revoke an amendment with an executive order, but that he would even TRY is a reminder of just how terrifying this shit is.
