Mike Johnson Reacts to Birthright Citizenship Ruling: The Current System Has Been Abused Through ‘Birth Tourism’

‘It is a serious problem’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: “I do think that this has been grossly abused in recent years, OK? And that is the case that was being made by the plaintiffs in the case, and we're very sympathetic to that because it is a serious problem. We have -- you know, it's become a tourism, birthing tourism, they call it, you know, a trend where people would just come and you just come onto the soil and have your child and then they're able to avail themselves of the welfare state and everything else. It's been abused. It's one of those things that was intended to serve a noble, important purpose and has been thwarted and overused and abused, and so I'm sure that we'll continue to look at that.”
