In this episode, I examine the key problems with birthright citizenship, focusing on the incentives it creates for “anchor babies” and how it can contribute to chain migration over time. I argue that these dynamics were never the original intent of the policy and have led to unintended consequences in modern immigration.

I also explore the broader cultural impact, making the case that granting citizenship purely based on birthplace risks devaluing what it means to be an American, shifting it away from shared values, identity, and commitment to something determined simply by geography.
