Hypothetical: If someone born in the U. S. to an illegal immigrant mother was raised in a communist country, then returned as an adult and ran for president as a Democratic socialist, would you vote for him?

I would not vote for him. Being born on U. S. soil may make someone legally eligible under current interpretations, but that does not mean voters should ignore ideology, upbringing, loyalty, or worldview.

If someone was born here only because his mother entered illegally, then was raised in a communist country and returned as an adult promoting democratic socialism, that would raise serious questions for me about whether he truly understands or values the American constitutional system.

The fact that this could even theoretically happen shows why birthright citizenship deserves serious debate. Citizenship should not be reduced to a loophole that can later produce candidates shaped by anti-American ideologies.
