President Donald Trump’s curbs against “birth tourism” are discriminatory and dangerous, say pro-migration progressives.
The rule “gives individual consular officials broad and unchecked authority to discriminate against visa applicants based on gender and age and will likely disproportionality affect women and girls of color,” says Phillip Wolgin, the managing director for immigration policy at the Democrats’ main think-tank, the pro-migration Center for American Progress.
Wolgin and other critics did not directly defend the commonplace practice by wealthier foreigners who try to snatch U.S. citizenship for their children by birthing them in the United States. But they did suggest alternative ways to protect Americans’ concern about the loss of sovereignty and resources to birth migrants.
Instead, the progressives strongly denounced Trump’s plan to fix the problem. For example, Wolgin said:
The final rule also erects new barriers to those seeking to come to the United States for critical medical treatment, potentially keeping people from lifesaving treatment. This final rule is the opposite of a fair and humane immigration system.
“The Latest Trump Target: Millions of Women Seeking a Travel Visa to the U.S.,” declared a post by Immigration Voice, another pro-migration group. The post continued:
…this rule could apply to millions of women from around the world seeking to visit our country, but not men. The first barrier to entry starts with being a woman. The second: a consular officer’s subjective guess about a women’s reproductive cycle. Third: the fact of a woman’s pregnancy or her ability to become pregnant — which is not, in fact, a bar to visiting the U.S. under the law passed by Congress.

Progressives Denounce, it’s what they do.
Thumbs up.
If Trump came out in favor of oxygen, liberals would hold their breath until they passed out.
We need to be a lot tighter on this since it’s been decided that the children of foreigners can be President, despite the Constitution requiring a natural born citizen.
Chinese have been doing this for much of my life.
The simplest thing to do is get rid of birthright citizenship.
How can this be discriminatory against women when the democrats keep telling us that men can become pregnant and there are 57 genders?
Yes, that’s why there are so many Chinese here. I thought I heard Michael Savage say that they would fly pregnant women over here by the plane load to drop kids. Its an outrage that should have never been allowed.
I wish Trump would tweet that. .
I’m fine with banning the men entering the country as well.
It is the Progressives job to object to this rule change. Despite the fact this make good sense of the future of the country, they will object. It’s what they do.
Maybe Trump should take a stand against suicide?
Progressives (flavor of the day)
Liberals
Leftists
Socialists
Communists
Have these people ever been right about something?
I honestly can’t remember the last time.
This is how to trigger a commie Democrat. Go after their sources of VOTES!!!
“If Trump came out in favor of oxygen, liberals would hold their breath until they passed out.”
If Trump declared that drinking poison was a dangerous thing and forbid the practice, hundreds of thousands of progressives would immediately begin drinking poison by the barrel ...
Never call them “progressives.” They are the lunatic left bent on the destruction of American freedom and capitalism. Nothing more or less.
The whole thing seems unfair. Only the rich can afford this. How about we just issue US birth certificates to every child born in the world.
Problem solved.
