    They’ll give it to him.

    I made this prediction back when he started saying he wanted to remove birth right citizenship. It’s just a matter of time

    This is a pathway to Starship Trooper’s soldiers being guaranteed citizenship. Imagine having a child here and they aren’t a citizen but you are.

      The whole MAGA movement can be described as people who did not get the point in Starship Troopers.

    Birthright citizenship is a law made at a time when the American population was significantly smaller and wanted to grow to be able to provide more workforce to bring about progress, which benefitted everyone. Now, progress is ending/slowing down, and demand for human labor is declining; and a shrinking population is a good thing because it matches that shrinking demand for labor. Immigration is a bad thing because it increases the population size instead of decreasing it. And also, the birthrate should drop lower to reduce the supply of workforce, keep up wages (via supply-demand of labor) and better the living conditions of the people.
