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?

This shit is just so openly racist, xenophobic, and hateful because on paper it's against the country's interest. I'd suggest he's just another kompromised asset being leveraged to dismantle the US empire, but we've also known him to be a piece of shit for a long time.

Pretty much all developed nations are facing birth rates far below the maintenance level.

The United States is well below-average in population density. Many areas do have too many people, but anybody with experience in the midwest knows that we have a lot of usable land with very few people on it.

Even if these ghouls kept all of their irrational fears and hatred but were granted a few rational brain cells to plan for the future, they would see that these people they want to remove and keep away are valuable resources. I'm sure they have grand delusions about how they're gonna ban contraception and sex-ed and abortion while having a steady stream of fertile 14 year old girls wheeled into their compound to rape and create their future factory workers, but it ain't good work.
