Summary

Today, we offer the full case against anchor-baby jurisprudence. I’m joined by Amy Swearer, senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, who has written scholarly papers showing conclusively that the plain meaning of the 14th Amendment was not adopting unqualified birthright citizenship for foreigners and most certainly not for illegal aliens and temporary visitors. The entire philosophy of citizenship, both pre- and post-adoption of the 14th Amendment, was built upon consent and allegiance. Amy explains why Wong Kim Ark expresses a false view of history but at the same time is clear that birthright citizenship cannot apply to those here against the national consent.  Learn more about your ad choices.

And the issue today on deck is stolen sovereignty.

0:25.2

The title of my first book, almost a decade ago,

0:29.4

warning that the federal judiciary, if we believe in judicial supremacism,

0:34.6

they will steal our ability to determine, self-determine every issue, including the

0:39.9

ultimate issue, who joins a society? I had a whole chapter on birthright citizenship there,

0:46.4

which is not even about birthright in my mind. It's worse. It's anchor baby jurisprudence for

0:50.9

invaders who come without consent. So, as I warned, the ACLU got a federal

0:57.3

judge in western Washington state, a wacko, to not only put a injunction on the order, you know,

1:05.1

saying that you have to be a legal immigrant to have a child born here as a citizen, but de-legitimized it in a way where he said,

1:14.4

I've never seen anything like this in 40 years, how any licensed attorney could even argue

1:20.3

this is absurd. And I warned that what they're going to do is create a political momentum that

1:26.4

there's no way anyone outside of Clarence Thomas

1:29.2

will touch it and overturn the bad lower court rulings, which is why the red states need

1:35.6

to start denying or directing hospitals not to issue these documents. They need to do that right now, triggering it in the fifth circuit,

1:48.3

triggering a legal battle in a better district and circuit so he can get better arguments.

1:54.1

I also am concerned that some of the people at DOJ under the transition are not putting forth the best argument.

2:04.1

So today we're going to have a very special guest from the Heritage Foundation who wrote a great

legal brief on this or a law review article, I should say, delving deep into just, it's not just that birthright citizenship and certainly
