KAYLEIGH MCENANY (CO-HOST): Brian, they have pictures of pools that these women can lounge by, you can buy like elite luxury birth tourism packages. It is crazy and then Tommy Pickett at the State Department was telling me they caught fraudulent documents coming from South Africa, North Africa, there have been more than 400 cases out of Europe in just one year alone. It is worldwide. And do you think the founders or the framers I should say, of the 14th Amendment really intended for two billion women in the world to have access to have a baby on our soil and boom, you're a citizen? No.
BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): Do you would think Democrats would be against this? Do you think —
MCENANY: Of course not, they love it.
KILMEADE: You think they are pro birth tourism?
LAWRENCE JONES (CO-HOST): 100%.
MCENANY: It's new communist voters if they come from China.
JONES: There are members of congress right now who have proposed legislation to end this practice and the Dems won't sign on to it because all about votes. They believe that if you want to do it, let's just cheat the system. We can import a whole new population. I mean that's exactly what it is, everything is to benefit votes in the end. If they do that, then they're going to take over Texas.
