Sooo, regarding Trump and his view on anchor babies and the 14th amendment:

Anyone remember the story about Russian pregnant women coming to stay at Trump hotels so their babies would be born American? What does he say on that I wonder...

(I'll copy and paste it and take mine down... sorry!)

Either his base are against brown anchor babies specifically and will suffer no cognitive dissonance about being just fine with Russian anchor babies (insert here your joke about requiring a brain to suffer cognitive dissonance), or something could be made of this. I think it's probably 50-50... some of his base wouldn't like the Russian anchor babies, either.

Admittedly there is no evidence that he personally knew about this, according to this article, but he has a lot of history with Russians; it doesn't seem unlikely. Besides, he hasn't objected to it, either, regardless of his possible involvement. All his anti-immigrant statements are about brown people.

It does seem as though his sad anti-14th-amendment attempt to get his base enthused might get a little air let out of at least one of its tires if this got some attention.
