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.

The term "socialist" is redundant in the USA. You don't know what it means.
Your police, fire brigade, welfare, roads and infrastructure are just some of the things which are the result of socialist policies.
The constitution says being born in the country means you are a citizen. Doesn't matter what anyone else says.
Technically there is only one communist country in the world and that is North Korea. No idea how such a thing would work out to be born in the US and raised in NK. But again, if you believe in the USA, then you cannot pick and choose the constitution.
Hence your opinion is irrelevant as you've no clue what you're talking about.
Depends on their stances. Many of them have allegiance to their country of birth (like Ilhan Omar) and that is unacceptable and dangerous, especially when it's a significant clash of culture. Leftists will pretend it doesn't matter, but there is a reason many countries outlaw it.
Socialism is Satanic. I would never vote for a socialist.
@BCRanger10 you're a Christian, all forms of Government are Satanic as they aren't Theocracies. Ancient Israel was a Theocracy before it was a Kingdom.
Those facts would come up in the campaign and would certainly handicap that person out of a presidential or higher than local race...
Hell no! I'd put my vote where it would count. The communist refugee would probably make the best president we've ever had.
I'm not dumb enough to vote for any socialist.
Not only no but fuck no
no friggin way
