Donald Trump recently reposted a letter by radio host Michael Savage on Truth Social, labeling India and China as "hellholes" and condemning birthright citizenship. The letter attacks the U.S. system, alleging immigrants exploit it by using birth tourism.
A baby here becomes an instant citizen, and then they bring in their entire family from China, or India or some other hellhole on the planet,” the letter states, echoing Trump's previous assertions. Savage argues the U.S. Constitution is outdated amid modern immigration patterns, stating, “The Constitution was written before air travel, needless to say before television, before the internet, before radio.”
This rhetoric has sparked outrage, reflecting ongoing tensions surrounding immigration policies. Trump's post came a day after he made the false claim that “no country in the world” aside from the U.S. provides birthright citizenship. In fact, around three dozen countries, including Canada and Mexico, grant automatic citizenship to those born within their borders.
Critics have condemned Trump's comments and Savage's letter for perpetuating harmful stereotypes about immigrants, labeling them as “gangsters with laptops” who misuse the U.S. system. Such statements contribute to the ongoing debate over birthright citizenship and immigration reform in the country.
