A National Foundation for American Policy analysis finds the Trump administration would impose a $3,000 or higher “birth tax” for each baby born in the United States to carry out the executive order ending birthright citizenship. The cost includes Form N-600, the 14-page Application for Certificate of Citizenship, which has a $1,385 government filing fee, and the attorney fees related to the form that range from $1,500 to $10,000. Parents also would need to submit biometrics to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (or another agency), and the parents and baby would likely need to appear in person at a Social Security Administration office. Those actions could entail additional expenses. Costs could differ based on a parent’s details.
Or does it ship the little undocumented alien off to El Salvador, or maybe just put him in jail along with his human trafficking parents. Once they are in prison they can legally be enslaved.
From the snip posted, it appears that the “tax” would apply to everyone, even if both parents are native born USians. So, if the parents can’t pay, their spawn becomes an illegal, even if both parents are native born USians?
Reading the article, I came away with the impression it was click bait. I still have not heard a realistic answer to the question “what if the parents can’t pay?”
I found this bit amusing tho:
“Birth certificates showing birth in the United States will no longer prove U.S. citizenship. Someone at the Social Security Administration will need to collect several documents before issuing a Social Security number.”
She said SSA would demand to see a birth certificate with a time stamp on it that shows the time, date and location of birth. The government would also ask for the birth and immigration records of the biological mother and potentially DNA tests to establish the biological father. Officials would also need to see the birth and immigration records of the biological father.
I find it amusing, because I have all of those documents.
Steve…has been telling people to get their papers in order
Like I said, I still have not heard a realistic answer to the payment question.
Where the real utility of the citizenship documentation requirement comes in is in denying SS benefits. We know that “burdening” the “JCs” with an extra nickle of new taxes is a non-starter. Taking a little bit away from every Prole would get the base riled up. But, using extreme documentation requirements would take everything away from a minority. And by declaring the people who do not have their papers frauds, the base would cheer.
I don’t think the real purpose of this has anything to do with undocumented aliens. I thing the real purpose is to limit who has the right to vote. If you are not seeing your rights eroded, your eyes are closed.
