Any day now, the Supreme Court will hand down its ruling in Trump v. Barbara, the case that will decide whether the 14th Amendment really does what the open-borders crowd has been pretending it does for decades.
And honestly, the meme below pretty much says it all.
Two illegal aliens having a baby on American soil shouldn't magically produce a brand new American citizen, complete with a Social Security number, access to taxpayer-funded benefits, and a chain migration pipeline for the rest of the family.
It should produce three deported illegal aliens. Mom, Dad, and the baby were all sent home together.
That isn't cruel, that isn't extreme, and that isn't some radical new idea. It's how virtually every other country on planet Earth handles citizenship.
No sane nation in the world hands out citizenship to the children of people who broke into the country, yet here we are, the United States, treating our most valuable possession like a party favor.
The 14th Amendment was written in 1868 to guarantee citizenship to freed slaves and their children. Period.
The phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" was put in the text on purpose, and it was put in there to exclude exactly the kinds of people the left now insists it includes.
Senator Jacob Howard, who actually wrote the citizenship clause, said out loud on the Senate floor that it would not include foreigners or aliens. Somehow, that little detail keeps getting left out of the debate.
The Trump administration is asking the Court to read the amendment the way it was actually written, not the way activist lawyers and lazy bureaucrats decided to interpret it sometime in the 20th century.
We're hoping the justices do the right thing and confirm what should have been obvious all along, that the 14th Amendment was never meant to be a backdoor citizenship factory for people who entered the country illegally.
End the abuse. End birthright citizenship. End it now.
