New Border Sign:

"BILLIONAIRES AND THEIR FAMILIES WELCOME! All others, get in line. And have your financial statements ready.” Does he understand human biology? On people able to bear 98 children?
Miller: The idea that people come here pretending to be a tourist, pretend to be a visitor, saying they want to go to Disneyland… but the real reason they're here is to have a child, to make that child into automatic citizen, leave our country, and then have a US citizen child…

That practice is now banned
It’s already banned. By law. You know, those things Congress makes, and Presidents don’t?
Stephen Miller: The president is using his authority as commander in chief, to sign first an executive order using the new rule in the Supreme Court issued to expand the definitions of people who are ineligible for birthright citizenship

That includes, for example, alien enemies of the United States, members of foreign terrorist organizations and large categories of people who lobby and act on behalf of foreign governments
"Commander-in-chief" doesn’t reach as far as you think it does. And the Supremes did not give Trump authority to augment the law with new definitions. Alien enemies have always been exempt from birthright citizenship. People who lobby and act on behalf of foreign governments can be U.S. citizens, and so can their children. Congress gets to make those distinctions. Trump doesn’t. "Ending in a different way”? Trump is certainly out of ideas. Less than 100 days until the midterms (far less, if you calculate early voting), and while Trump is anxious (arguably): This is what he thinks is an appropriate response.

And all he can offer is “Vote Republican to keep us in power!” It’s the only thing about the job he understands.
