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.

          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”

    Stephen Miller is a walking argument for the legalization of 163rd trimester abortions.

      His birthday is in August, so by my calculations, him being 40, he’s in the 4th trimester of his 41st year, which is 164, then add the 3 from before he was born. So he would be in his 167th trimester. That’s assuming that you don’t count all of his millennia training as a demon before he disguised himself as a human.

    If someone is willing to risk the cost of giving birth in the USA then I say who cares. Let them in.

    Ie. Nothingburger is what Miller is choking on.

    Is it a common problem in the US? It’s not like American citizenship gets you free healthcare or tuition? And the hospital bill for the birth would be pretty high?

      Maybe Medicare/Medicaid which are the insurances for young/disabled and elderly people respectively. But these tend to not be great plans. The reimbursement is so low compared to commercial insurance that many providers won’t see those patients. I think Miller is getting at emergency care. Anyone who shows up to your ER is legally required to be seen if the hospital has the means to assess and treat or transferred to one that does. Many people, documented and undocumented, use the ER for primary care as it is difficult to get a primary care doc due to waitlists and costs. Using the ER for primary care clogs the system and makes it super expensive but it’s misleading to blame that on the undocumented and not the physician shortage and lack of emphasis on preventive care in the US. You’re not getting free tuition unless you meet some need/merit requirement but having in state residency makes programs much more affordable.

      It’s not really that big of a deal. Some people do it on purpose for various reasons, but it also comes with downsides. For the hospital bill though duty of care means you will be taken care of during childbirth. After that if you skip the country it’s hard to collect, also if you aren’t making much money in the first place your bill gets dramatically reduced.

    Stephen Miller couldn’t get a date with Latinas at his Santa Monica high school and he’s held this grudge for decades.

    This is exactly the opposite of what we should do. We should create maternity centers and invite mothers to give birth here. Lots of income coming into our country. We get more citizens. We get a whole lot of people around the world who are invested in the success of the US.
