I don't think it's a "problem" that justifies taking the rights away from millions of Americans, no.

An 8 months pregnant woman would typically be denied entry during immigration processing. It doesn't seem like a big deal.

And that's assuming they can even board their flight. Airlines don't really like carrying extremely pregnant people because it's very risky.

> And you think that is not insane?

I think there would be a real problem with creating a class of people who live here their entire lives and aren't citizens. And then their children also live here and aren't citizens, and their grandchildren, etc.

It's not that birthright citizenship is ideal, but it prevents some other, bigger problems.

Why is it a problem to have US citizens being raised elsewhere? What bad thing is being caused by this?

It’s no skin off my back. Why should I give a shit?
