I think everyone focused on birth tourism is missing the fucking point. If being born in the US is no longer a necessary and sufficient qualification for citizenship, how does the child of two lawful citizens born on US soil become a citizen? Before you come at me with “it’s obvious” ask yourself which children the Trump admin or future GOP leaders would come after next and ask yourself, really fucking ask yourself, if it’s still obvious.

I believe it's very obvious, but we won't like the answer.
