Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will hear one of the most consequential cases of the last 50 years: Whether the 14th amendment grants birthright citizenship to the children of illegal aliens.
When I worked in the first Trump admin, I drafted the original executive order ending birthright citizenship for illegal aliens that ultimately went unsigned until the beginning of last year-- and now finds itself at the center of this case.
To put it simply: President Trump has every single legal and historical precedent in his favor.
When the 14th amendment's birthright citizenship clause was written, illegal immigration was a foreign concept. The 14th Amendment was specifically intended to clarify citizenship for the children of freed slaves. It did not guarantee that a 9-months pregnant Guatemalan could illegally cross the Rio Grande, give birth, and have their child considered an American citizen.
The Left always cites the Wong Ark Kim case from 1898 to claim this as settled law, but that case did not apply to illegal aliens. The plaintiff was the son of one of the thousands of Chinese laborers who were brought legally to America during the 19th century to work on the transcontinental railroads.
The Supreme Court has never adjudicated the question of whether children born within our borders to somebody who broke our nation's immigration laws are legal citizens. The answer is “no,” and the Court should absolutely uphold the President's executive order.
We don't give citizenship to the children of foreign diplomats born in America. In the same way, we should not give citizenship to children of illegal aliens. No European country, not even the Vatican, grants birthright citizenship to children born to unlawful residents.
Democrats are naturally freaking out about this case. Why? Because it's a terrifying prospect for the future of their party. They've seen the data showing how much population loss blue states have seen over the last few years. It's possible that California could lose up to six electoral votes in the next census. The only way they can maintain their power is by continually replacing the population with the children of illegals.
It's one of the major pillars of Democrat power and it may just be coming to an end.

Justice Thomas just forced the birthright citizenship debate back to first principles.
Solicitor General Sauer laid it out: The Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment was written to OVERRULE Dred Scott and secure citizenship for freed slaves who had DOMICILE here and owed ALLEGIANCE to no foreign power.
"Subject to the jurisdiction thereof" means full allegiance, not mere presence or subjection to our laws. The text even uses "reside," which at the time meant domicile.
The Framers weren't handing automatic citizenship to everyone born on U.S. soil regardless of allegiance.

🚨 BREAKING: Oral arguments in the birthright citizenship case in front of the Supreme Court, with President Trump in attendance, have begun
US SOLICITOR GENERAL: "[The 14th amendment] does NOT extend citizenship to illegal aliens. Unlike the slaves, they don't have immediate allegiance to the United States."
"Children of temporary visitors are NOT citizens, and illegal aliens lack the legal capacity to establish domicile here."
"Unrestricted birthright citizenship CONTRADICTS the practice of the MAJORITY of modern nations."

🚨 BREAKING: SCOTUS Justice Samuel Alito says it PERFECTLY on birthright citizenship
He suggests that just because illegal aliens were not a problem at the time the 14th Amendment was adopted does NOT mean they shouldn't be addressed today
Nailed it.
ALITO: "Justice Scalia had an example that dealt with this situation. He imagined an old theft statute that was enacted well before anybody conceived of a microwave oven, and then afterwards someone is charged with the crime of stealing a microwave oven, and this fellow says, well, I can't be convicted under this because the microwave oven didn't exist at that time."
"And he dismissed that. There's a general rule there, and you apply it to future applications. And what we're dealing with here is something that was basically unknown at the time when the 14th Amendment was adopted, which is illegal immigration. So how do we deal with that situation when we have a general rule?"
JOHN SAUER: "Yeah, I strongly agree with the way that you framed it, that there is a general principle that's a broad principle that's adopted in the phrase, subject to the jurisdiction thereof, and we submit that our theory of allegiance and domicile-based allegiance is what explains those specific exceptions that everybody was aware of, but it is broad enough to sweep in future situations, and as you pointed out, illegal immigration did not exist then."
You can almost ALWAYS count on Alito!

🚨 NOW: President Trump just witnessed a MASTERCLASS where Solicitor General John Sauer gave a perfect response to Justice John Roberts on birthright citizenship
"What does that mean, subject to the jurisdiction thereof? And he says, it means not owing allegiance to ANYBODY ELSE. That is what it means."
Illegal aliens owe allegiance to their country of birth, not America.
Open and shut.

🚨 BREAKING: After Rand Paul launches attacks on Markwayne Mullin for DHS, Sen. Bernie Moreno RUSHES to his defense
"You WILL be confirmed!"
"You're a good man...you talk from the heart. And that's okay. You are who you are!"
"You don't apologize for being yourself. And sometimes we're imperfect. We don't do the 20-person focus group every time you say a word."
"And I think that's what people like about you, Markwayne. So I appreciate you being here. I honestly just have one question for you."
"Do you pledge to support and defend the United States of America nearly as much as you would protect and defend your family?"
MULLIN: "Without doubt, sir. Yes.
MORENO: "So I'm going to ruin everything for the audience. You will be confirmed. You will have the job and you're going to make this country safer and better. And for that, I thank you and thank your family for supporting you!" @berniemoreno

🚨 BREAKING: Sen. John Kennedy is now moving to put the SAVE America Act as RECONCILIATION, which only needs 50+1 votes
YES! DO IT! 🔥
"We HAVEN'T TRIED."
"If this bill is as IMPORTANT as everybody says — and I think it is — we're talking about the trust of the American people in our elections...we should try it through reconciliation."
"We have yet to try crafting a SAVE Act that passes [reconciliation]!"
This would be huge. All we need is 50 if this gets done.
