    Selective outrage....

    Not one of you have said shit about this that I can remember... This was back in January...

    Growing number of Russians are coming to the U.S. to give birth

    These kids will have the right to live and work here, receive social services and, when they turn 21, they will have the right to sponsor their parents for an American Green Card.

    Tough to say something about something that I was unaware of (I don't watch the nightly news).

    I tend to agree with the notion of ending birthright citizenship for children whose parents aren't actually legal residents here. Seems like a ridiculous loophole that these women and others are exploiting.

    That said, if they're operating wholly within the confines of the law, it's tough to fault them.

    Seems like this will reverse soon enough, and we'll be sending our pregnant women to Russia to give birth.

    Of course you're completely unaware. That is by design.

    Trump and his band of 'associates' are big into this.

    They both do it. I thought the Russians were worse.

    Honestly, between the two, I trust the Chinese more than the Russians.

    That's a bad move. The Chinese will rule the world in 50 years. Russia will still be Russia.

    They have a bunch of homes in the Inland Empire that are basically farms for Chinese women to give birth.

    Not if we put an end to the theft of our intellectual property. This means more government involvement in counter cyber warfare.

    I was unaware of this specific story but I've been against birthright toursism every day of my life after I heard about it. White Russians are NO different.

    Then how is he guilty of selective outrage? You mean the media?

    My wife and I were discussing that last week. It seems in Trumps world, white illegal Russian women are ok, while those dastardly hispanic kids crossing the border are bad hombres and need to be treated like criminals and put in prison. Trump also has a long history of hiring illegal immigrants such as Polish workers who were $4-$5 working 7 days a week and often well over 40 hours a week with no overtime and many weren't even paid what they were owed. Of course this was done off the books. The Twitter in charge is a do as I say not as I do person.
