President Donald Trumps 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 Trumps 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 officers subjective guess about a womens reproductive cycle. Third: the fact of a womans 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.

Ok, then end the unconstitutional anchor baby policy.
Then we don’t need this.
Just because you pop out here when neither of your parents is a us citizen, never in the past made you a us citizen.
The parents are not citizens of the us, it only makes sense the child is a citizen of the parents’ country.
Every other place on earth operates under this common sense law.
Progressives “denounce”
The trips are genuine.
Their outrage is irrelevant. They’ve hated the man before he was elected and vented anger at policies created by Obama but only matter once Trump was President.
Why not, dual citizenship for anyone not born in America.
Vote in two countries.
After all the Left says the US has such influence on world politics that other people should have a say in our elections.
How nice of the Regressives to pander to foreigners whose children attain American citizenship simply by being “spat out” on our soil. I’m 3rd generation. My Dad fought for this country, his Dad was drafted during WW II to work for this country-THEY have made sacrifices and given of themselves.
For illegals, absolutely.
Hey, so-called “progressives” why are you so against America? What did we ever do to you? Show us on the doll here where freedom and liberty hurt you. Better yet, what happened to you in the past to evoke this level of obvious self-loathing? Why do you want to hurt yourself and us with you so much?
How is this discrimination based on gender?
The same progressives also tell us that men can get pregnant.
Please explain how simple it is to get 535 legislators to enact laws against birthright citizenship when the majority in the house are communists and seek to destroy citizenship rights of native born using any means possible.
Let me get this straight...they want US babies aborted but let’s save these non-citizen babies so they can be made US citizens to take the place of the aborted babies. OK.
Yes, “Lunatic Left,” though a term open to attack, is a better term than “progressive,” written in quotations marks. Perhaps someone has other better ways to summarize the stupidity of this segment of the Marxist brainwashed. Maybe “Marxist brainwashed lunatic Left.” Suggestions of a better short-hand way to describe this group?
