If you want a sense of how desperate and lost Democrats have become, look no further than Maxine Waters' (D-Ca.) latest rant against President Trump.
While protesting against DOGE over the weekend, Waters made the bizarre suggestion that the president should deport his own wife, Melania.
Waters suggested that the First Lady somehow benefited from the practice of automatic birthright citizenship that her husband is currently targeting.
Trump's wife is a naturalized citizen who was born in Slovenia, so Waters' point is totally off, to put it mildly.
Melania Trump became a U.S. citizen in 2006. She later sponsored her parents for citizenship, and they were naturalized in 2018.
Although Melania entered the U.S. through the legal process, that hasn't stopped Trump's critics on the left from sometimes invoking her immigrant background to attack his policies against illegal immigration.
"When he [Trump] talks about birthright, and he's going to undo the fact that the Constitution allows those who are born here, even if the parents are undocumented, they have a right to stay in America," Waters said.
"If he wants to start looking so closely to find those who were born here and their parents were undocumented, maybe he ought to first look at Melania."
"We don't know whether or not her parents were documented. And maybe we better just take a look," she added.
The Trump administration has argued that the Fourteenth Amendment was never meant to grant automatic citizenship to the children of illegal aliens.
The relevant section of the Amendment states, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
Critics of the current practice, including the Trump administration, argue that the key phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" excludes those who fall under the jurisdiction of a foreign power, such as illegal aliens.
Trump signed an executive order to terminate birthright citizenship on his first day back in the White House. Last week, Trump asked the Supreme Court to intervene in the consequential legal battle.
Waters is a notorious for her inflammatory attacks on Trump. She infamously encouraged mobs of people to harass his staff during his first presidential term as Democrats whipped up a furor over his border policies.
Trump, at the time, called her a "low IQ person."
