This birthright citizenship is a complete disaster for America. It is inexplicable to me that Roberts and ACB could find the way that they did knowing all about the Chinese birth tourism. There might be one million American "citizens" living in China. Nebraska only has 2m people.
But this gives the GOP a great election issue to fix this. Also, it might inspire Sen. Thune to force a floor vote on the SAVE Act. I want to see a real talking filibuster by the Dems on the SAVE Act.
It's also an excuse for a border wall 100 feet high and for deportation of every single illegal no matter their personal sob story, especially the pregnant ones. And I'm good with that.
DOJ released a memo today directing U.S. attorneys nationwide to prioritize investigations and prosecutions involving birth tourism schemes. This memo was likely pre-written in event SCOTUS ruling came down as it has. I suspect there is more hardline tactics to be announced, including ICE monitoring of hospitals known to traffic in illegal immigrant births. And other scrutiny that goes after the $ end of the anchor baby industry.
Illegal immigrate account for 1 in 7 births in these metro areas:
Los Angeles
Las Vegas
San Jose
Dallas
Houston
Newark
Atlanta
The above metro areas (California, Nevada, Texas, Georgia & New Jersey) also make up 64% of all illegal immigrant births in the US.
Homan and the administration knows all this because it’s easily found by google search. They likely have it down to the hospitals trafficking in this and how many of them bill Medicare or other federal dollars to facilitate, vs. private birth industry dollars.
Is it Constitutional to force women travelers of a certain age and nationality to submit to a pregnancy test either at port of entry or to obtain US visa at home country (US embassy), prior to travel into US? I don’t know, but that could also be in the cards
Or if not that, this same demographic having to chart out where they will reside, day-by-day while in the USA under shortened visa, at time of customs entey. When I traveled Asia in past, my hotel and dates were required for entry (China, Thailand). It can be done here in US, too.
Good comment. In Los Angeles I suspect it is rather higher than 1 in 7, because the reporting can't be trusted (fudged or non-existent).
This lawyer believes it is absolutely legal for the President to deny entry to the USA based on pregnancy. Under Federal law, the President ALREADY has the power to deny ANY cognizable group the right to enter the USA for any articulable reason:
“Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”
8 USC 1182(f).
Trump has repeatedly exercised this right to exclude certain classes of foreign nationals, but many of these orders have been blocked because Leftist judges have invented a new standard, claiming that Trump is motivated by racial animus. However, I think even a Leftist judge would have a very hard time blocking Trump's exercise of this exclusionary power based on pregnancy; the alternative is to announce to the world that literally any woman anywhere has the right to travel to the United States to give birth in the United States to an American citizen, which is too ludicrous to contemplate.
News flash to Leftist judges: Non-Americans outside the USA have NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER to enter the USA. We allow many to do so for a variety of reasons, all fundamentally based on our consent to their entry. Our limited permission does not equal their absolute right any more than a guest at your party thereby acquires the right to live at your house.
Correct, but it will not happen (2/3 of Congress and 3/4 of States; good luck with that). So I think the remedy is to double down on the existing powers of the President, per my lengthy post above. Heck, deny ALL entry by ANYONE. Force the issue.
I think Roberts and ACB are forcing this issue down and it should be. I hate this roller coaster but I have faith in what’s ultimately to come out of this.
Great take as usual, Sasha. The decision and reaction recall the truism: "If you want to make a Conservative angry, tell her a lie. If you want to make a Progressive angry, tell her the truth." Well, today Progressives are angry because SCOTUS told the truth.
Regrettably for me this decision is too late... both my kids matured at exactly the wrong time (a few yours behind your daughter), and I lost them both to the trans cult.
I am so sorry. I have 3 sons and 3 grandsons. I pray every day that they will be protected from this scourge. So far, they are all about baseball and paying little attention to the noise around them, and I am so thankful for it.
My husband and I were watching TV this morning when it was breathlessly announced that The Supremes ruled that girls are girls. He said, “Any first grader knows that.” I upped him. Why was this even in front of The US Supreme Court, for God’s sake! And it still leaves blue states free to steal from girls.
When I came legally from a formerly Communist country and few years later, became naturalized, I was asked to swear allegiance to USA and give up any other allegiances.
But why was that necessary, if as SCOTUS says, all the illegals are already under the jurisdiction and
THEREFORE do not have any other allegiances.
They should therefore not ask any person who is being naturalized to give up other allegiances. It appears that once you step on American soil, even illegally, you have given up all previous allegiances.
The phrase "trans community" is the single stupidest thing to be accepted in 4000 years of human history. And we're not even embarrassed. No society so monumentally unserious can possibly survive.
Yes, there are. But you can't have a community of something that does not exist. People who change their gender do not and cannot exist. Now, if you want to refer to them as the sexual lunatic community, that's accurate
Manchurian Candidate comes to mind. After a quick birth here in the US, paid for with our tax dollars, mom and baby return to China with US birth certificate in hand, where the baby becomes a thoroughly inculcated comrade of the Communist Party. Now an adult, he returns to the US to become President with the full support of the Democrat party.
That was the ‘old way’ Jen. Did you not see Sasha’s daughter’s curriculum? If that continues in blue states then the indoctrination can occur here on our shores ;)
Ha! The 'old way'. You're right. No need to be inculcated abroad when you can just send the (anchor) baby to an American school. Baby mommy can get herself a position on the school board. Mao would be kicking himself for not thinking of this sooner.
We are dealing with a party that doesn't know the definition of the word "in" or "temporary" or "woman". Of course, Bill Clinton pretended to be confused about the word "is". It's amazing how many "smart" people believe that semantics is truth.
It's easier to tell kids they need therapy or meds than the truth of responsible adulthood. That keeps them dependent and malleable, the opposite of independent, just what the totalitarians love.
Trump needs to immediately ban all females who are between 13 and 50 from being able to come to America unless they can provide documentation that they are not pregnant and will have to swear that they will not get pregnant while in the United States. A pregnancy will be grounds for immediate deportation. They can only avoid it by declaring that they are giving up the unborn child’s right of citizenship.
SCOTUS seems to forget that there is nothing in the U.S. Constitution about the concept of "Judicial Review." John Marshall and Marbury v Madison (1803) is the basis of that.
Cowardice and fear must the the aminating factors behind the incomprehensible votes of Roberts and Coney Barrett, since the text and the contemporary reasoning behind the establishment of the Fourteenth Amendment could not be more clear.
As a current sage is fond of saying, "that which cannot go on will not go on." Perhaps thinking they have cleverly defused and dodged a charged issue, the Supreme Court has only postponed an inevitable reckoning. It is coming.
A pox on Roberts and Coney Barrett for failing to rise to the occasion on such a monumentally important case.
Great piece, Sasha. It is somewhat 'easy' for us to sit over on the conservative side(conserve what works, Constitution) and watch the friction on the Left and then the 'conservative court' votes in favor of their personal vanity; their friends and neighbors in Sodom on Potomac that have never worked a day in their lives with risk and then spend our tax money they stole on illegals, etc.

Only a Constitutional Amendment (from a flaccid & flatulent Congress) will ever begin to remedy that outrageous decision.
A different Supreme Court could reverse it.
Correct, but it will not happen (2/3 of Congress and 3/4 of States; good luck with that). So I think the remedy is to double down on the existing powers of the President, per my lengthy post above. Heck, deny ALL entry by ANYONE. Force the issue.

I am heartsick for you and all those children who were overtaken by the ugly cult of lies
And angry with those parents and school officials who encouraged
Enabled and abused these kids
i'm so sorry. :(
💔
I am so sorry. I have 3 sons and 3 grandsons. I pray every day that they will be protected from this scourge. So far, they are all about baseball and paying little attention to the noise around them, and I am so thankful for it.
I’m so sorry….
Sorry to hear that sir!
I love hearing heartwarming stories like yours.
My husband and I were watching TV this morning when it was breathlessly announced that The Supremes ruled that girls are girls. He said, “Any first grader knows that.” I upped him. Why was this even in front of The US Supreme Court, for God’s sake! And it still leaves blue states free to steal from girls.
Because democrats are mentally ill
When I came legally from a formerly Communist country and few years later, became naturalized, I was asked to swear allegiance to USA and give up any other allegiances.
But why was that necessary, if as SCOTUS says, all the illegals are already under the jurisdiction and

Very interesting SCOTUS philosophy.

There are all kinds of communities.
Yes, there are. But you can't have a community of something that does not exist. People who change their gender do not and cannot exist. Now, if you want to refer to them as the sexual lunatic community, that's accurate

Ha! The 'old way'. You're right. No need to be inculcated abroad when you can just send the (anchor) baby to an American school. Baby mommy can get herself a position on the school board. Mao would be kicking himself for not thinking of this sooner.
Or send in campaign contributions from China.
Thomas Jefferson would say, "What the fuck?".
We are dealing with a party that doesn't know the definition of the word "in" or "temporary" or "woman". Of course, Bill Clinton pretended to be confused about the word "is". It's amazing how many "smart" people believe that semantics is truth.
Why is normality called “right?”
Cause it's not wrong?
Good one!
It's easier to tell kids they need therapy or meds than the truth of responsible adulthood. That keeps them dependent and malleable, the opposite of independent, just what the totalitarians love.

Good Luck with the Law Suits
So if a non-US citizen breaks into my house solely for the purpose of delivering her baby in my house, my house is now the baby’s house, right?
Hush! You may be planting a thought in Liberal minds!

Sasha, that syllabus is insane. And we wonder why our children are indoctrinated.
There’s nothing worse than the smarmy full of oneself “in this car we believe science is real” bumper sticker
I have to wonder IF they really do?
Great piece, Sasha. It is somewhat 'easy' for us to sit over on the conservative side(conserve what works, Constitution) and watch the friction on the Left and then the 'conservative court' votes in favor of their personal vanity; their friends and neighbors in Sodom on Potomac that have never worked a day in their lives with risk and then spend our tax money they stole on illegals, etc.
