I am writing about this once again because Trump has raised it and at least one of you think that he can’t address the problem without amending the 14th amendment to the Constitution. That’s false or at least maybe false if the Supreme Court rules as it should. Now here is what that amendment actually says.

https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/amendment-14/section-1/

Note that the left always leaves out the part about being subject to the jurisdiction thereof. This is a very important omission. There is a big difference between being born here and being born here subject to the jurisdiction of the US. And as I wrote in August 23, 2019, the issue has never been adjudicated. The only case that ever went before the Supreme Court involved a man born of Chinese parents who were here legally for several years and had a son and then returned to China and when the son returned he was denied citizenship but the court said he was a citizen under the 14th Amendment because his parents were here legally and subject to the jurisdiction of the US. The Supremes have never addressed the question of whether a Mexican can illegally cross the border and push out a child and then use that child to be not only a citizen but an anchor baby to get a whole slew of relatives to become citizens.

And before I continue, let me remind you that the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments were the post civil war amendments designed to address the former slaves. The 13th freed them. The 14th made them citizens and the 15th assured their right to vote. The Congress never even remotely considered that illegals could get citizenship by illegally crossing our borders and dropping a kid. Nothing could be further from what they were doing.

So here’s all Trump has to do. Issue an executive order denying citizenship to babies of illegals and wait for it to get to the Supremes. My prediction is that this court will rule in his favor as they should. He should also make his executive order cover birthright tourism. If you come here on a vacation and incidentally drop a kid, the kid doesn’t become a citizen and you don’t get citizenship through an anchor baby. In point of fact, he should eliminate the whole anchor baby nonsense!
