Watters asked if Miller was considering banning foreign pregnant women from entering the U.S., even temporarily.

“Well, what I’m saying, Jesse, is that you have to now think very carefully about who you let into your country, even on a temporary basis, because the possibility, as you said, for birth tourism, right, they do that. People come here just to have babies on American soil, and that baby gets to be a citizen for life,” Miller said.

Watters: Are we banning pregnant women from America?

Miller added that he believes that babies born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants would be able to send welfare checks back home to “support a whole family in the third world.”


Miller isn’t the only MAGA figure floating the idea of banning foreign-born pregnant women from entering the U.S.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) on Tuesday introduced a bill he called the “Anchors Away Act” aimed at limiting or outright banning certain foreign-born pregnant women from entering the U.S.

“Under my bill, under my legislation, we fix that and go back to what our founders intended. So in short, what this bill does is if you are a pregnant woman, you can’t come into this country. You got to be a citizen, be here, you have to be a green card holder. So if you’re pregnant and you don’t have one of those statuses, no admittance allowed,” Ogles said in a video posted to social media on Tuesday.

Miller is a goblin.

      While I appreciate the sentiment, there’s some details that hurt your case:

      • A pregnant woman entering the US has a baby daddy who is likely not a US citizen. Donald Trump (Barron’s alleged father) is a US citizen, therefore his offspring is a US citizen.
      • The Supreme Court has affirmed birthright citizenship. Since Barron was born in the US, he’s a US citizen, regardless of his mother’s immigration status.

        The point is pretty clearly, “If your proposed rule had applied to you.” Dunno what’s confusing about it.

          Except it isn’t referencing the proposed rule because the proposed rule only applies if the father is not a US citizen or lawful permanent resident.

      Uh, I mean no not cool. Hurting people because it hurts some you don’t like, too, is basically their entire ideology. You’re advocating for the exact same now.

          For conservatives, hypocrisy is the point. It is a flex of power, to be the exception from their own bullshit. Its always “rules for thee but not for me”. Their logic concludes with “but not me”
