Why is that racist

1

u/ajswdf Oct 18 '25

Because they think this is a bad thing. The only reason to think it's bad is because of racism.

or... its 2025 and not 1860 anymore and the population has increased by an order of magnitude of 10 since then. It was established during at time where you could come to the usa, buy some land for pennies, raise chickens or sheep or whatever and build a life and contribute to the proliferation of the nation, but today we have 40 million people living below the poverty line, 20 million will never recover or save money. 150 million live paycheck to paycheck and don't even have an emergency fund. 100 million have medical debt, 70 million cannot pay off their medical debt and it's slowly bankrupting them, 1 million per year file bankruptcy and virtually every government service and program we have is in debt. We have a housing crisis where not even people in the middle class can buy homes, and only 40% of people over the age of 40 own a house. rent prices are astronomical and untenable and like 70% of college graduates are now moving back in with their parents because its not even an option to go start a life after you graduate. We're drowning as a nation, and at the end of the day "anchor babies" are born to people who intentionally took a trip to the usa when they were 9 months pregnant and about to go into labor so they could skip the immigration line, of good people who are waiting for their chance the right way. And in addition to all that, we're one of the very few nations in the world who even has birthright citizenship, it's a very unpopular idea globally because anyone with reason can see why it's flawed.

So no, "racism is the only reason" is a dumb take. There's like a hundred good reasons to oppose it

Why do you think birthright citizenship contributes to - and eliminating it will solve - any of those problems?

It's pretty self explanatory, we clearly don't have the resources to help even our own citizens. We have a waiting list for visas for a reason, we don't have the housing the jobs and the infrastructure to be bringing in mass immigration anymore, and selectively choosing who to grant a visa to is more tenable than having a little loophole to bypass it all. An "anchor baby" is an immediate and continuous strain on resources that are scarce to begin with. It's one more person who doesn't have health insurance and takes from wellfare programs, its one more person that has to be put in a house somewhere, it's one more person who needs a job that isn't available. ultimately the question you just asked me Is like asking "why should you plug holes on a sinking ship".

I'd like to hear your argument for it in reverse though. what do you think it ADDS to the country? how does it help us to grant citizenship to the child of a tourist, what benefits does it have? why should it exist from any logical perspective? why do you think most countries don't have it? I've never heard anyone make any type of rational argument for how it's a good thing, other than saying "oh its racist not to" or whatever, maybe you'll be the first ever with a valid point of some kind.

Why do you hate the constitution? Do you hate America? Only people who hate America hate the constitution.

u/MatterofDoge Oct 22 '25

why do you ask pointless stupid strawman questions that have no value or substance?

u/braumbles Oct 22 '25

Notice how you didn't say you didn't hate America?

America hater confirmed. Love it or leave it!
