Rep. Angles Ogles on his "Anchors Away" bill: "If you're pregnant and you're from a foreign nation, you know what? It's time for Congress to pass a law saying you can't come here."

Nothing says, come to the US on your next family vacation quite like: "But, if you're pregnant (or might be pregnant), stay your ass OUT of the USA." I wonder if the US Convention & Visitors Bureau thinks this is a winning policy & message?

Actually, pregnant women do come here to have babies even though the motel plus birthing will cost $50K. Because they are superrich. It's kind of disgusting because they are buying their kid's citizenship with their stolen wealth. Probably not a lot of actual damage though.

OMG! Government that controls every breath you take? Were ALL Republicans lying imposters? Since when are Republicans AGAINST STATES' RIGHTS? AGAINST FREEDOM? AGAINST FREE SPEECH? Who are today's Republicans? Ask Renee Good & Alex Pretti .. oh wait- Republicans MURDERED THEM!

JFC. Will these people ever realize that we are all immigrants to this country. Unless you are Native American, of course. We have all "taken advantage" of this lovely loophole. My dad's side of the family came in the 1760s. My mom's side came in the 1840s. Our whole family are birthright births.

What does he care? The GOP won't take of that baby after it's born anyway. Man, the amount of butt-hurt these assholes feel in a day over things that will NEVER impact them is mind-boggling.

We will be landing in approximately 15 minutes. Flight attendants will be distributing customs declarations, and to female passengers, pregnancy tests. You may temporarily unfasten your seatbelts to urinate on the stick. Welcome to the USA!

Is that really such a problem though? US citizens who live abroad have to pay taxes (at least if they don't pay tax elsewhere) so at least in theory, the offspring of wealthy birth tourists may bring in significant tax revenue. If not, that is a broader issue that needs to be solved separately

I am pretty sure there are citizenship by investment programs in many countries so buying citizenship is possible if you have enough money anyway. What opportunities do you think they are taking anyway?

As far as the national security concerns you raise, people's parents are no guarantee as to their future political allegiances. Moreover, plenty of people whose families have lived in the US for generations are a national security risk one way or another. That is why there are security clearances.

This man is a Nazi. He’s a traitor who should be brought to justice and face the punishment for treason. Trump brought back the firing squad, the Left needs to put them to use.

Who would be harmed by the trans ruling? ... girls. Who would be harmed by birthright regs?... women. Who would make these decisions?...Men. Who is harmed by the Save act?...women.

Trump’s mother was an immigrant and his father was barely a first generation American. Maybe it’s time to deport Donald.

US Border agents will have "fun" asking women, who may just have a little bit of extra weight on them, to prove they aren't pregnant. Hell hath no fury like a woman questioned about her weight by an ignorant moron.

No matter where you are born or where you live, Republicans have made it LIFE THREATENING to be a pregnant woman in the U.S. Republicans will watch you bleed out at a hospital if miscarrying. Racism and misogyny is the policy of Republicans.

So are we now going to pregnancy test every visiting woman of child-bearing years...awaiting results in a holding cell at Customs...and categorically deny entrance to those showing obvious signs of pregnancy.......?

"... and if you come to the US as a tourist and become pregnant while here, that child will be granted fetal citizenship. You will be confined until the baby is born. Then you will be forced to leave the country and the baby will be adopted by *real* Americans"

Votes? Hate gets idiots to support deregulation and tax breaks that will harm them. So the rich get to exploit public services and financial subsidies that they don't pay into to maintain, violate workers' rights and pollute. And workers get to tell themselves at least someone else has it worse.

If you're pregnant and you abort, you go to prison. In the case of miscarriage, we'll have a police investigation. There aren't enough babies born in the U.S. these days. Wait, wait... not THOSE babies. UNWELCOME!

WOW listening to these idiots makes you think we have millions of pregnant women coming here every month and littering our country with hated babies. The number of birthright babies is inconsequential to America when the President and his family are PUBLICLY siphoning parasites of taxpayer funds.

Women in last term from other countries are already typically stopped from flying here; there’s a practice of separating Chinese women from babies born on airplanes. They’re aping #PresidentVought Confederate / 1st Congress White-Boy Wet Dream Sears Wish Book ideology.

Every woman entering the US will be pulled aside, forced to pee in a cup, and then wait for the test results? Is that his plan? Or does he imagine a visual inspection to determine pregnant or just fat?
