Watters to Stephen Miller Blasting Birthright Citizenship: ‘Are We Banning Foreign Pregnant Women in America?’
EXCERPT:
MILLER: “But if you have birthright citizenship, it means if a person comes here nine months pregnant to go look around at some things, in a couple of weeks, that is the mother of a lifetime American citizen and a direct line into American cash and welfare for the rest of that child’s life."
WATTERS: "So, Miller, are we banning pregnant women from America? Are we banning foreign pregnant women?"
(Laughter)
MILLER: "Well, what I’m saying, Jesse, is that you have to now think very carefully about who you let into your country even on a temporary basis because the possibility, as you said, for a birth tourism. People come here just to have babies on American soil, and that baby gets to be a citizen for life. So you have mothers that come in fully pregnant, have a baby, go home, and again, that baby gets Medicaid and that baby gets welfare and cash assistance. They can leave the baby with a cousin or relative, whatever, and they just send welfare checks back home and you can support a whole family in the third world.”
