New attorney general, in my home state of Washington, plays a role in the news about birthright citizenship today. Sometimes known, by rightwingers, as the anchor baby topic.

President Trump issued an executive order that attempted to end automatic citizenship to babies born in USA, whether the parents are US citizens or not.

This could be called the "anchor baby" issue as many of Trump's right wing supporters seem to be tired of all the anchor babies born in USA. Over population? But many of these Trump supporters call themselves pro birth.

Anchor baby is kind of a derogatory term used to describe the situation of having a child in the US; like placing an anchor toward better life in America.

Birthright citizenship is in the constitution so Trump's executive order is on shaky grounds. A Federal Judge ruled, today, to suspend that order for the next 14 days while there are more briefings in the legal challenge.

Our new attorney general, here in the state of Washington, played an important role in that case now making national news.

One of my friends has a situation not often heard, related to this issue. He was born, in USA, to Latin American parents. A child born to a a family drawn to USA for a professional job. Being of US citizenship and growing up here, he was very American.

Later in life, he moved to the Latin American country where his parents lived because he was having trouble finding professional level work, in this part of USA.

Maybe he could have stayed here if he had aspired to be a janitor with interesting hobbies, like me.

This friend has a BA degree from college in the humanities and has career interest in film production and teaching.

Try getting a job at a university, or some other institutions in USA, without more credentials.

No PHD? Little work experience in the field? A catch 22. No Ivy League degree? No way.

Back in his parents home country, a college education is worth more than a dime a dozen. He moved to a Latin American country and to a world less flooded with over qualified humanities graduates. His professional career took off; teaching, writing and so forth.

He still misses many things about life in USA, but moving overseas was a good career move, in his case.

Often it does seem like, in USA, there's no room at the inn.
