Why does the right wing suddenly love anchor babies?

[Anonymous]

An anchor baby is born to illegals hoping to use that status to remain in the country not people working here on visas who happen to be living their lives. Birth tourism is a separate issue - those are people deliberately coming here to give birth. That’s not the case with Vivek’s parents either.

This isnt rocket science and you're unable to comprehend this because you're too devoted to the theory that the right is motivated by racism.

How do you feel about wealthy women on tourist visas from developed countries who come to the US to give birth? Are those anchor babies? Are they worthy of citizenship?

There have been many posts on here where people are complaining about that very scenario: pregnant women coming here on a tourist visa and then giving birth to give their children American citizenship. Now, all of a sudden, MAGA are only pointing out the illegal ones who do this.

ITA with OP. MAGA are twisting themselves in a pretzel, again, due to the many hypocrisies of Trumplandia.

In fact, the Trump administration was trying to keep pregnant women from getting tourist visas:

Good.
“consular officers would ask the question only if they had reason to believe the applicant is pregnant and likely or planning to give birth in the U.S.“

So now we're all on the same page that children born of people here legally on visas are in fact anchor babies, and that Vivek is therefore an anchor baby?

Vivek was an anchor baby, Kash Patel was an anchor baby.

I bet MAGAS do not believe anchor babies should be eligible to serve in high Federal jobs.

NP. I don’t know about anchor babies, but I don’t believe someone with dual citizenship and loyalties should be allowed to serve in such positions. You can’t serve two masters.

I don’t believe in dual citizenship at all.

Is Bannon going to get Vivek and Elon (and all the foreign born tech bros working on DOGE) kicked out of the country?

The right wing used to be up in arms about people wedging their foot in the door by having babies in the US, yet they now suddenly don't have a problem with it any more and in fact want to put anchor babies in charge of major American institutions and major areas of policy.

Can anyone explain, or is this just more thread-the-needle hypocrisy by the right? Or is it just random Trump stuff and the right wing is just going along with it no matter what, because Trump?

Make it make sense.

Anchor baby parents are illegals not on visa

Plus the birth tourism folks, who are here legally.

But who should not be.

Another dope who refuses to admit that Elon came here on a student visa contingent on him enrolling in classes at Stanford. But, instead Elon committed fraud by not enrolling in school and instead going to work. Working without proper authorization is fraud under our laws and is a deportable offense.

Also, Vivek Ramaswamy and Kash Patel were born in the US to parents who were NOT US citizens, and who were only here contingent on temporary visas.

It's wild to see people who pounded their fists on the table about ending birthright citizenship now backtracking and saying "uhhh... no we get to pick and choose!"

A child has to turn 21 before they can petition on behalf of a noncitizen parent. Do you think Vivek’s parents were planning to go out of status and wait around 21 years before being eligible for citizenship?

Or go out of status and use their “anchor baby” to avoid deportation?

What matters here is intent.

If that's your argument then apparently anchor babies are not a thing because according to you, it isn't ever worthwhile to wait 21 years.
Your argument really doesn't make any sense.

The MAGAs are trying to do a "Schroedinger's Anchor Baby" gambit here.

Agree, and Trump will change it.

Will he change chain migration laws too? Because that’s how his wife brought over her sister and parents. We got four Knavs for the price of one.

No one likes Vivek. Very annoying man but he will serve a minor purpose and be tossed aside.

No. What we are talking about here is people with no status (illegal, undocumented, overstay) hoping to avoid deportation via a stay of removal. They aren’t even necessarily trying to get citizenship themselves anymore. Just not be deported, and their USC children receive benefits. This does not apply to Vivek’s situation.

Yeah, well, the majority of undocumented aliens in the US actually DO enter on visas.
