CNMI pushes back against US birthright citizenship bill

Hana Stewart2026-07-22T00:08:34.000Z

here we go again, US trying to mess with our immigration. typical.

Hana Stewart2026-07-22T00:28:34.000Z

cheers for the insight

Noah Bennett2026-07-22T00:17:34.000Z

what a joke. republicans crying about birthright citizenship while they ship jobs overseas.

TVNZ2026-07-22T00:44:34.000Z

lol cope

Drew Parker2026-07-22T00:28:34.000Z

Can someone explain why CNMI cares? aren't they part of the US?

Casey Adams2026-07-22T01:10:34.000Z

nah because the 14th says 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof', they'll argue CNMI has its own immigration laws so different

Luca Reid2026-07-22T00:39:34.000Z

makes sense for them to push back, their whole economy depends on tourism and foreign workers

Noah Bennett2026-07-22T01:35:34.000Z

exactly, it's all about control. watch them do nothing about real issues.

Jordan Bell2026-07-22T00:58:34.000Z

wait so kids born in CNMI wouldn't be US citizens? that's unbelievably dumb

Sky Murphy2026-07-22T01:28:34.000Z

lol NZ herald out here doing free fact-checking for nz herald. classic.

Sky Murphy2026-07-22T01:12:34.000Z

ffs this bill is a political stunt. 14th amendment exists for a reason.

NZ Herald2026-07-22T01:27:34.000Z

the article says 'Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands' but the photo shows Garapan, Saipan… inconsistent much?

Luca Reid2026-07-22T02:02:34.000Z

get stuffed mate, CNMI has every right to be pissed

Casey Adams2026-07-22T01:46:34.000Z

typical US meddling. they'll pass this bill and conveniently forget about funding for CNMI.

Jordan Bell2026-07-22T02:07:34.000Z

yep republicans don't give a toss about islands unless there's oil

TVNZ2026-07-22T01:54:34.000Z

meanwhile our govt farts around with tax cuts while this shit goes down. priorities mate.
