18. Well I haven't been keeping up with them "all", You have?

For the record, I think the administration is horrible, but misrepresenting what they are doing does not do anyone favors.

If we were in normal times, it is reasonable to question whether a foreign citizen should be able to fly into the US, have a baby, and claim that that baby should be a US citizen. I don't suspect that that happens often. My guess would be that "anchor babies" as a term could be applied to the very rich and very poor. I don't know.

I would suspect that most reasonably comfortable women from abroad who were well into their pregnancies would not want to travel to the US if they thought the baby was imminently due. Our healthcare system sucks.

Ideologically, I feel that people should be able to cross borders at least as easily as capital. As far as I know, most countries do attempt to control capital from leeching from within their borders. I believe that the wealthy are able to circumvent many of those controls.

There are citizenship cases that do seem interesting. Suppose a US citizen marries a foreign national while living abroad and adopts a minor child of that person. If they divorce, or the foreign spouse dies, what happens with the citizenship of the child? What if the child reaches the age of majority in the mean time? I don't know what happens.

I don't support a fascist. I don't support THE fascist. But misinformation is not helpful.
