About this episode

How did roughly 8,000 babies become a supposed threat to America? I break down Trump v. Barbara, the Fourteenth Amendment, and how a policy sold as stopping “birth tourism” could deny citizenship to an estimated 255,000 American-born children every year. I examine the numbers behind the outrage, defend the constitutional case for birthright citizenship, and explain why neither party gets a free pass.Should a president get to decide who is born American?
