Allowing them and the descendants to establish citizenship and give those who would otherwise be denied lawful residency is one of the biggest incentives for illegal immigration in the first place.
Citation needed. Economic uncertainties and climate change are pretty big reasons for illegal immigration, afaik, and those are much more short-term survival considerations… it’s not necessarily a plot to have anchor babies in most cases.
So, as an illegal immigrant you would decide not to give birth in hospitals, but instead at home. Now you’ve got generational non-citizens.
There are definitely already people caught in this loop. It’s one of the biggest reasons I think we should allow DREAMers to obtain citizenship, too - they’ve been here in many cases for as much of their life as they can remember, and may not even speak the language of the country they’re citizens of. Meanwhile, they’re often educated, productive people who would be even more economically useful as citizens instead of having to work under the table. The last thing I ever heard Mike Huckabee say that I agreed with (circa his 2008 campaign) was “we’re a better nation than to punish children for the mistakes of their parents”. I’m sure he’s horribly against the DREAM act or immigration reform now, of course, but I did like that he said that back then.
How? It will just make it extremely expensive for people to host instances, and ensure that it’s hard to find content on other platforms to link to.
His appointments to e.g. the FCC suggest that he’s not opposed to progressive voices and is willing to put them in positions of power. Would I like him to be even more to the left? Sure, but he has to actually govern, so I think he’s doing a pretty decent job balancing the demands of the situation.
Right, cause that’s a situation we really want to give CBP power over… pregnancy tests for all women at the border? Pregnant women who can’t travel for business anymore? At that point, just make us 2nd class citizens and get it over with.
