Well, she did travel to Bethlehem and have an anchor baby there.

Good line. Wit aside, some folks tend to forget why Mary and Joseph went there: They had to register for a new tax by reporting to the authorities in the city where the husband's family came from. Which in St. Joseph's case was Jerusalem, since he was a descendant of King David. You could say Jesus was the very opposite of an anchor baby. He was coming home.

LOL. I think Augustus ordered them to the home of their husbands for the census. But I like your version better.

Actually, she was returning to the place of Joseph’s people.

Maybe the “vota” crowd could do the same...

Not really. Read the Gospel According to Matthew! She went with Joseph to his ancestral home to give birth.

This was in poor taste and unwelcome.

Almighty God chose His own place of birth!

No. She went from one Roman province to another.

And, according to Bill Clinton, they were homeless.

Nah, they went to Bethlehem because that’s where Joseph’s tribe came from. The corollary would be those folks returned to their home countries to vote.
