29. He apparently wants to deport natural born citizens because there are only 60-70 million foreign-born people in the US

Most of the foreign born are either naturalised citizens or permanent residents with 10-12 million undocumented.

I guess his theory will be that children born here to non-citizens are not actually natural-born as per the 14th Amendment.

It’s an idiotic idea on its face that would collapse the economy. You can’t take 30% of the population out of an economy without tanking housing prices, creating massive labour shortages, decimating agricultural production, etc., etc. The US is not overpopulated by any stretch of the imagination. If there is a problem it’s that economic opportunity is concentrated in the urban centers causing people to move there in disproportionate numbers. There are enough stupid and dogmatically driven people in the GOP that Bovino might get some traction as the heir to Trump on immigration.
