Some kind of restrictions on pregnant women obtaining visas to visit the US is an awfully blunt tool, and lots of innocent folks will be unfairly and unnecessarily inconvenienced by such regulations.
BUT birth tourism is a legitimate problem (in my estimation), is based on a misreading and misapplication of the Constitution, and Congress should fix it.
If Congress won’t fix it, pressure should be applied to Congress by the Executive Branch and by the voters, and so I see this as a step in a process. Defensible as a step in a strategy, if not defensible as a long term policy in itself.
And, based on my campaign against judicial supremacy, when some arrogant, two-bit judge somewhere wrongly thinks he or she has the power to issue a global injunction tying the hands of the Executive Branch, the Trump admin should simply ignore it and implement the policy.
Let the courts try to enforce their judgment against a co-equal branch of government. There’s nothing I’d rather see. I’d order a truckload of popcorn and hold a watch party.
