It would be very funny if they wrote a bill that limited citizenship to people born in "America"

I mean, citizenship in the US is granted by place of birth because that way freed slaves could become citizens. Before that, citizenship was reserved for white people

The joke is that they'll make 1 billion people become US citizens
