The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Could you accept a clause that would address 'birth tourism"; the intent to visit the US solely for the purpose of birthing on US soil?

Sure. It would be really difficult to change the Constitution at this point, but if you could, I'm sure the language could be worked such that it was fair and made sense.

Seems that's not unlike marriage for the sole purpose of skirting deportation.

I think that's more in the movies (did make for a cute Sandra Bullock movie). I'm sure it happens IRL, but it's not common. The penalties for the citizen can be pretty stiff. During the interviews, they can ask some really personal questions that a married couple would know (e.g. favorite position). If the answers don't line up, the one is deported and the other is imprisoned. For us, they didn't get that personal. But for some, they do.
