Then shut the fuck up. It doesn't affect you, nor does it concern you. Our citizenship policies are not your concern.
It doesn't affect me, but it's not illegal to have good points and valid criticism about other country's internal politics. As long as they are reasonable and respect the different circumstances of that other country.
And you have neither. Fuck off.
Now, you're being emotional, and i respect your stance, but "fuck off" is not a great argument.
Are you my coworker? He likes to call people emotional whenever they don’t agree with him too. If you want lack of emotion, go rant at an AI.
I agree with the previous poster. Fuck off.
I know you're getting blasted with downvotes but your original point isn't bad imo, just...misguided maybe? I agree that it doesn't seem right someone who's 8.5 months pregnant can buy a plane ticket and stay with a friend/family member until they have the baby, making the child a US citizen.
But this doesn't happen as often as the right would have you believe. It's like the claim single mothers on food stamps are buying steaks and only having babies to get more government handouts. Does it happen? Sure, of course some selfish people will abuse the system. But again, nowhere near the amount the right would have you believe. And to be honest if the price of having a robust social safety net is that some people will try to scam it for personal gain, then so be it.
