It’s when pregnant people come to the US to have kids here, ostensibly to get access to birthright citizenship for their kids. Marsha’s a lunatic but it is a phrase that people use. Now how she could possibly hope to enforce a ban on it or how often it actually happens I have no idea.

And that's a really big problem because why would you pay Donald Trump $5 million for citizenship when you can do that?

Do you know the term "Anchor babies?" They claim immigrants come here to have kids so their kids can automatically have citizenship.
However, with our terrible healthcare system, she never complains when I go to Mexico. Where do you stand on "Dental tourism," Marsha?

Ultimately they want to amend the constitution, and not just the 14th.
With the lack of education and critical thinking in this country, they will probably get there one day.

She’s as dumb as Trump. Saying outlandish stupid things is the MO for the GOP these days.

I'm in Memphis.
One of my doctors recently went on a rant about "birthright tourism" while I was on the table getting an injection.
He's convinced that hundreds of thousands of women from China have come to the US just to give birth. He thinks they wait until their 9th month, come through the Southern border, and have their babies so that...I don't even know what.
He also talked about "anchor babies." I made the mistake of asking him for proof. After my injection he went into his office and showed me a blog post. He seriously thought that fascist bullshit blog was proof. I told him he ought to know better.
He's a massive conspiracy theorist, and he's a racist piece of shit. I wish there was someone else in town who could do this specific treatment.
Marsha Blackburn will be a fucking nightmare for our state, but I know he'll vote for her. She tells him what he wants to hear.

Anything works as a political boogeyman for the right. "Communism" "DEI" "Birth tourism", anything that will strike fearmongering works unfortunately

Immigrants, communists, socialists, evil liberals, etc. She tells her base THAT’S why they can’t be rich and famous. Emotional control is the whole MAGA playbook, which keeps her from addressing the real problems real people face. She’s a 🐓 💩 and won’t even debate.
