Stephen Miller threatens to 'take a hard look' at banning pregnant women entering America

Holy hell. There are so many things I want to say but JFC. This fucking asshole is just one of the most discusting "humans" out there.
KARMA motherfucker!!!

https://www.rawstory.com/stephen-miller-citizenship/

President Donald Trump's top adviser Stephen Miller suggested on Fox News Tuesday evening that now the Supreme Court has struck down the executive order abolishing birthright citizenship, the administration could retaliate by prohibiting all foreign pregnant women from entering the country as a means of preventing the right from being granted.

"If you have birthright citizenship, it means that if a person comes here nine months pregnant to go look around at some things, in a couple of weeks, that is the mother of a lifetime American citizen and a direct line into cash and welfare for the rest of that child's life," said Miller.

I am thinking of my nephews who were born abroad, but both parents were Americans in their case.

My brother was in the Navy. One nephew was born in a US hospital in Tripoli when my brother was stationed in Greece. The other was born in Japan when my brother was based there for operations on Vietnam.

So, technically, they were born on American soil at US bases.

But many cases of people entering the US from other countries are not so clear cut.

Infants born here then taken back to Russia to be raised, but with dual citizenship and US passports. And some US property owner made lots of money leasing/selling condos to the Russians to facilitate this little stunt that does not bode well for national security in about 20 years

airlines require a doctor's permission from 36 weeks and up, though. Wonder if Miller and the WH cabal will pressure the airlines to stop pregnant women from flying at all -- not just those that they label "tourist pregnant" ladies.

Miller/Trump are obviously doing everything possible to turn the USA into a "whites only" nation.

Navy assignment in Greece ended and his new assignment was in SC.

They lied to the airlines about how far along she was. My nephew was born in SC just under a month after they reached the US.

That was in the 1960s. Don't know what the rule is today.

This is America. Unless you are a member of an indigenous tribe, you're descended from immigrants, and very few of them would "qualify" with today's restrictive laws.

Must have been one hell of a boat trip for her while also caring for children ages 5, 3, and 1.

They were political refugees in 1888.

listening to it. I have no talent for playing an instrument and don't know them very well except for the obvious ones like piano, violin, clarinet, tuba.

So I don't remember the names, only that he played two different horns. Sousa required his musicians to be able to play at least two instruments.

I do remember that he said that one of the horns was similar to a French horns, but modified for a band because the sound of the French horn did not suit a marching band. So that modified horn has its own name but I don't remember what it is.

By the time I was born, Sousa's band no longer existed and I never got to hear grandpa play.

How exactly would U.S. officials go about determining whether someone entering the country is pregnant?

As Republicans eye new restrictions on pregnant travelers coming to the United States, a question hangs overhead:

How, exactly, would U.S. officials go about determining whether someone entering the country is pregnant or not?
www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Steve Benen (@stevebenen.com) 2026-07-01T14:07:19.391Z

https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/restrictions-us-pregnant-travelers-supreme-court-birthright

Republican Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee said Tuesday he’s moving forward with plans for legislation that he’s calling the Anchors Away Act, which would ban certain pregnant foreign women from entering the United States.

“So, I have a bill; it will be called ‘Anchors Away,’ which, look, if you’re not a U.S. citizen, if you’re not a green card holder and you have a child on U.S. soil, today, that child will be a U.S. citizen,” Ogles said in a video posted to social media. “Under my bill, under my legislation, we fix that. … So in short, what this bill does is, if you are a pregnant woman, you can’t come into this country. You got to be a citizen, be here, you have to be a green card holder. So if you’re pregnant and you don’t have one of those statuses, no admittance allowed,” he continued.

As HuffPost noted, “The ‘anchor’ part of Ogles’ bill refers to the pejorative term, ‘anchor babies,’ used by many conservatives to describe children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants.”....

As the day progressed, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller also appeared on Fox News, and when asked whether the U.S. is prepared to start “banning pregnant women,” Miller didn’t say no, replying instead that there are “a lot of things” the Trump administration will take “a hard look” at.

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-07-01T00:26:43.277Z


On Wednesday morning, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin also said the administration is prepared to “look at” restrictions on pregnant travelers to the U.S.

I won’t pretend to know what, if anything, will come of this, but I do have a question for proponents of these restrictions: How exactly would U.S. officials go about determining whether someone entering the country is pregnant?
