    If anything could convince libs of supporting the end of birthright, it’s the threat of hundreds of chinese babies being born to US citizenship.

      Its probably a lot more effective at convincing folks that we shouldn’t have billionaires

        It’s already a bi-partisan consensus that China shouldn’t have billionaires

        Fortunately for them, they can’t do anything about the billionaire problem - so instead they’ll focus on the xenophobia

      Race has nothing to do with this. Take “Chinese” out and replace it with literally anything else. They’re still billionaires exploiting loopholes.

        Birthright isnt a loophole.

        If you want to abolish billionaires, you dont need to deal in xenophobic scaremongering to do it; but if you want to abolish birthright, you gotta play all the notes of xenophobia. The billionaire flair is just the lib-spin.

        The WSJ publishing this story should tell you everything you need to know about its intent

        Edit: otherwise they would be writing about how billionaires are exploiting inheritance
