The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has agreed to hear oral arguments in May on a case that centers on President Donald Trump’s historic executive order to end birthright citizenship for the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens.
On Thursday, the court issued a notice that oral arguments on the executive order will be heard on May 15. Immediately after Trump signed the executive order in January, the pro-mass migration groups CASA Inc. and Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project sued to block the order.
The order seeks to eliminate the nation’s so-called anchor baby policy where about 250,000 “anchor babies” are born in the U.S. annually to illegal alien parents. These anchor babies are rewarded with birthright American citizenship despite having no legitimate ties to the U.S.
Years later, when the U.S.-born child is considered an adult, they can sponsor their illegal alien parents and foreign relatives for green cards — anchoring their family in the U.S. for generations.
Border czar Tom Homan recently said the anchor baby policy is a massive driver of illegal immigration to the U.S., as it entices pregnant foreign nationals to cross the southern border in the hopes of securing American citizenship for their child.
“I think the Supreme Court finally needs to answer that question. Now, I’m not a lawyer, but I can read. I don’t think it’s clear that an illegal alien that has a child in this country is automatically a U.S. citizen,” Homan said.
SCOTUS has never explicitly ruled that the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens must be granted birthright citizenship, and many legal scholars dispute the idea.
Many leading conservative scholars argue the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment does not provide mandatory birthright citizenship to the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens or foreign nationals, because these children are not subject to U.S. jurisdiction as that language was understood when the 14th Amendment was ratified.
"these children are not subject to U.S. jurisdiction as that language was understood when the 14th Amendment was ratified." That language still stands it cannot be interpreted by using any language syntax or bastardized language use today as I am sure they will try to use that dodge. The language the framers of our Constitution used classical, proper and plain English so that it would be recognizable hundreds of years henceforth. Again, the democraps have usurped and maligned clear instruction and our Supreme Law. It must be dealt with and exposed and laid down as holding, they are no longer US Citizen and the ones that were slipped in all these years must have their US citizen status repealed and deported as illegal.
ReplyDeleteI think they know as well as we do what the original intent and meaning of the words meant. But they are, like you said, going to do everything they can to bastardize the meaning. I've got a few articles that I may post regarding birthright citizenship.
DeleteGenerally, I agree. However, I know a gal born in the US whose parents came here illegally from Sicily. She's in her 50s now with an adult kid who is a policewoman. What's to become of her/them?
ReplyDeleteShe can use that as anecdotal evidence at her hearing for Naturalization and for her daughter, as I see it, she has contributed and assimilated as an American. Those I can appreciate to becoming US Citizen and should not be deported. It is the come in for Birth Right and the benefits. Being from Sicily, I am sure the parents didn't rush down to the welfare office and social security office for bennies... That generation came here close to penny less and either had friends or family here to help them and I am sure as rain the struggled with menial jobs until they could hoist themselves up. It is the lazy, no desire to assimilate,
Deletedrug and gang members and criminals that prey on us. There is a route to change their status without being deported.
I concur with Cederq. Those who came here and earned and paid their way should be given much leniency.
DeleteAs she tells it, her folks did come here basically penniless. In the long run they operated a succusful Sicilian restaurant, ultimately selling it upon retirement. They've shed their mortal coil a decade ago, but she's worried that she'll be sent to Sicily. I'll pass along the "Consideration" path. Thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteI would think that she's probably one of the last ones they would be looking for and I don't think they would deport her if she was on the list.
