As a non-American I can’t believe that my wife and I could fly to the USA when she’s 8 months pregnant, give birth while there, and our kid would then be a US citizen, and as such we could probably then just choose to stay in the USA indefinitely. It makes no sense.

The fact that this has been possible all this time is baffling. Passport tourism is not something that should ever have been allowed, especially when it is mostly used by illegal immigrants in order to gain protection from being deported.

This shouldn’t even be a “left vs right” or “progressive vs conservative” thing. It’s just a bad thing that has no reason to exist.

Don’t worry, just buy trump gold immigration card instead.

Have they stopped selling the Biden Free Entry Kits that came with a free phone, free money, free hotels, and a quick path to voting rights?
