'Wild-eyed stuff': Blue state AG sounds the alarm on Trump's next moves after court loss

A blue-state attorney general sounded the alarm on President Donald Trump's next moves after a court loss set back his immigration plans.During an appearance on MS NOW, California Attorney General Rob Bonta reacted to right-wing ideas for how to prevent immigrants from giving birth in the United States and warned that Trump could act on some of them.Bonta described proposals like sterilizing all foreign visitors and restricting pregnant travelers as "wild-eyed stuff," and cautioned that ending birthright citizenship is one of the Trump administration's "top immigration policies, the centerpiece immigration policy."The Supreme Court recently rebuked Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship, and "we'll see what they do next," Bonta warned."Who knows if they're trying to save some face," Bonta said. "But some of this stuff, like sterilizing everyone seeking a visa coming to the United States, is wild. And it's already illegal to seek a visa for the purpose of birth tourism."Those ideas for preventing birth tourism are "based on this conspiracy that there is widespread birth tourism," but "the data shows that it's minuscule when it happens, if it happens at all," Bonta added."They're trying to base their argument against birthright citizenship on that, on that myth," Bonta said. "And even the U.S. Supreme Court justices barely gave it any time in the almost 100 pages of the order."Bonta noted that Trump also tried to end birthright citizenship via an executive order during his first day back in office last year, and "we sued him the next day and we won."

American patriotism and the US-Israel relationship

In the summer of 1776, with the ink barely dry on the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress gave its founders a challenging assignment: design a seal for the nation they had just summoned into being. Benjamin Franklin imagined Moses standing at the Red Sea, his hand raised as the waters swallowed Pharaoh’s army. Thomas […]
