Watters asked if Miller was considering banning foreign pregnant women from entering the U.S., even temporarily.

“Well, what I’m saying, Jesse, is that you have to now think very carefully about who you let into your country, even on a temporary basis, because the possibility, as you said, for birth tourism, right, they do that. People come here just to have babies on American soil, and that baby gets to be a citizen for life,” Miller said.

Watters: Are we banning pregnant women from America?

Miller added that he believes that babies born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants would be able to send welfare checks back home to “support a whole family in the third world.”

Miller isn’t the only MAGA figure floating the idea of banning foreign-born pregnant women from entering the U.S.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) on Tuesday introduced a bill he called the “Anchors Away Act” aimed at limiting or outright banning certain foreign-born pregnant women from entering the U.S.

“Under my bill, under my legislation, we fix that and go back to what our founders intended. So in short, what this bill does is if you are a pregnant woman, you can’t come into this country. You got to be a citizen, be here, you have to be a green card holder. So if you’re pregnant and you don’t have one of those statuses, no admittance allowed,” Ogles said in a video posted to social media on Tuesday.

Miller is a goblin.

We must not look at goblin men, We must not buy their fruits: Who knows upon what soil they fed Their hungry thirsty roots?

I know it’s fox news so they are in on the con, but it amazes me how the media is allowing them to reframe this ruling as a change to the precedent. The administration keeps discussing it as ‘now that it has been ruled that’ as opposed to the fact that this is literally how it has always been.
