Last night on the Five Juan Williams finally answered my question as to whether he was as stupid as he seems or just a talking point puppet for the left. And lest you forget his kids are conservative Republicans.
In the first segment on Trump’s call to abolish automatic birth right citizenship, Justice Jeanine Pirro led off pointing out that the Supreme Court has never addressed the question of whether or not a child born here to parents here illegally automatically becomes a US citizen. The only case they have decided concerned I believe Chinese parents who were working here legally and had a child and then later returned to China and when the son came back he was refused entry. The Supremes held that he was a citizen and could not be denied entry. (As an aside, you should know that the provision in the 14th Amendment stating that persons born here that were subject to our jurisdiction were citizens was as virtually all of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments referring to former slaves.).
As Justice Pirro pointed out the case of an alien crossing the border illegally and having a baby has never been ruled on by the Supremes — and I believe that our representatives responsible for the 14th Amendment would roll over in their graves if someone told them that their amendment applied to births by people illegally in this country.
Next up was Juan, a non attorney who proves that consistently, who immediately after the judge said it hasn’t been decided yet said the Supremes had already determined that it had. Clearly he was just parroting leftist talking points and didn’t even acknowledge what the judge had just said. This leads me to conclude that Juan isn’t stupid but just paid to say leftist nonsense.
More importantly, no one pointed, even Pirro, that Juan was full of shit. My ultimate conclusion is that the Five just has a required slot for an idiot to voice socialist nonsense so they can have a foil.
Lastly, I hope Trump goes hard on this, not only for illegals crossing to give birth, but also for the birth tourism industry where Chinese folks come here supposedly for vacation and amazingly drop a kid while here and claim citizenship for their kid and then through the anchor baby nonsense could get themselves here. Total nonsense.
