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?

    Stephen Miller is a walking argument for the legalization of 163rd trimester abortions.

    If someone is willing to risk the cost of giving birth in the USA then I say who cares. Let them in.

    Ie. Nothingburger is what Miller is choking on.

      As an added “bonus”, the jerks could also use the airport pregnancy tests to keep pregnant women from traveling to somewhere they could get an abortion.

    Is it a common problem in the US? It’s not like American citizenship gets you free healthcare or tuition? And the hospital bill for the birth would be pretty high?

      Maybe Medicare/Medicaid which are the insurances for young/disabled and elderly people respectively. But these tend to not be great plans. The reimbursement is so low compared to commercial insurance that many providers won’t see those patients. I think Miller is getting at emergency care. Anyone who shows up to your ER is legally required to be seen if the hospital has the means to assess and treat or transferred to one that does. Many people, documented and undocumented, use the ER for primary care as it is difficult to get a primary care doc due to waitlists and costs. Using the ER for primary care clogs the system and makes it super expensive but it’s misleading to blame that on the undocumented and not the physician shortage and lack of emphasis on preventive care in the US. You’re not getting free tuition unless you meet some need/merit requirement but having in state residency makes programs much more affordable.

    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.

    I personally would like to take a good, hard look at the inside of his heart. (Not being figurative.- I’d like to inspect the ventricles using my eyes while it’s still warm.)

    Stephen Miller couldn’t get a date with Latinas at his Santa Monica high school and he’s held this grudge for decades.

    Cant we like just concentrate the pregnant females in a camp or some cages near the airport? Why are we spoiling the whole families vacations and potential tourist dollars to our brave tourist industry leaders?
