What Is Birthright Citizenship?
Let’s break it down:
• You’re born in the United States? Congrats, you’re an American. That’s been the rule since forever (or at least since the 14th Amendment).
• Some people abuse it? Sure. Fly in, pop out a baby, and boom—an instant American citizen. The Trumpets don’t like that.
• But wait—doesn’t every other country do this? No? Oh, actually… about 50 other countries do (but let’s just pretend they don’t because facts are inconvenient).
The Logical Nightmare
Okay, so let’s say we do scrap birthright citizenship. What happens then?
• You fly over, have a baby in the U.S. What’s the baby? A citizen of… nowhere?
• Flip it—you’re American, but you’re in Paris, drowning in sauces, wine, and attitude. You want to have your baby in Jersey instead. Does that mean your kid is French?
See the problem? This whole argument is a mess.
The Real Takeaway
Listen, we get it. Immigration is complicated. But when you start messing with the foundation of citizenship itself, things get real weird real fast.
So, what’s the real solution? Maybe instead of trying to rewrite the Constitution, we just… accept that America is a nation of immigrants and move on?
But hey, what do I know? I only went to law school for five minutes—which is five minutes longer than most of the people making these rules.
