The fight over birthright citizenship matters more than almost anything else sitting in front of the Supreme Court right now. If this country can’t pull it together and get control of birthright citizenship abuse, then the bigger immigration mess will never get fixed. If allowed to continue, this whole scam will just keep rolling on, decade after decade, with foreigners gaming our system. They’ll keep flying here to give birth on American soil and waltzing away with a U.S. citizen child as their perfect little legal anchor point bundle for the future.
This is one of the foundational tricks that has helped turn our immigration policy into a long con.
And no, despite what Dems and the media will try and tell you, this isn’t what the country intended when the 14th Amendment was ratified. It was never supposed to turn the US into a global baby-delivery service for people with no lasting allegiance to the United States. But, as we all know, that’s exactly what it’s become, and if the high court doesn’t draw some very real lines, America won’t make it.
That’s why the X post below is so important, and we hope Justice Roberts and Justice Coney Barrett are reading it right now, because this message isn’t coming from some random partisan big mouth. It’s coming from Randy Barnett, one of the biggest names in originalist legal thought. He carries real weight in these constitutional debates because he is one of the leading experts in the field. And he is arguing that Trump is right on birthright citizenship. Barnett is making the case that the text, history, and original meaning are not on the side of the people trying to keep this scam going.
Eric W.:
Professor@RandyEBarnett, one of the most influential Originalists of all time, has written an article in the@WSJ explaining that President Trump is right on Birthright Citizenship. He is one of the leading libertarian law professors. Originalists agree on this issue.
Professor Barnett highlights several of the weaknesses in the Executive Order’s opponents arguments. They lack text, history, and tradition. Oh my! He compares this debate to Heller–common wisdom among law professors was proven wrong at the Supreme Court. And he would know!
The Constitution only applies to legal citizens of United States.
Exactly, an illegal shouldn’t be aloud to bring a belly into this country, have the kid at our expense, and then wham-o it is a citizen.
