A little info on the courts and anchor babies.....
Immigration status
The Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution indicates that “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” The Supreme Court of the United States affirmed in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898),[a] that the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees citizenship for nearly all individuals born in the United States, provided that their parents are foreign citizens, have permanent domicile status in the United States, and are engaging in business in the United States except performing in a diplomatic or official capacity of a foreign power.[27][28][29][30][31][32][33]
Most constitutional scholars agree that the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides birthright citizenship even to those born in the United States to illegal immigrants.[27][34][35][36][37] Edward Erler, writing for the Claremont Institute in 2007, said that since the Wong Kim Ark case dealt with someone whose parents were in the United States legally, it provides no valid basis under the 14th Amendment for the practice of granting citizenship to U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants. He goes on to argue that if governmental permission for parental entry is a necessary requirement for bestowal of birthright citizenship, then children of undocumented immigrants must surely be excluded from citizenship.[38]
However, in Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202 (1982),[b] a case involving educational entitlements for children in the United States unlawfully, Justice Brennan, writing for a five-to-four majority, held that such persons were subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and thus protected by its laws. In a footnote, he observed, “no plausible distinction with respect to Fourteenth Amendment ‘jurisdiction’ can be drawn between resident immigrants whose entry into the United States was lawful, and resident immigrants whose entry was unlawful.”[27][31][39] In 2006 judge James Chiun-Yue Ho, who President Donald Trump would later appoint to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, wrote in a law review article that with the Plyler decision “any doubt was put to rest” whether the 1898 Wong Kim Ark decision applied to illegal aliens because “all nine justices agreed that the Equal Protection Clause protects legal and illegal aliens alike. And all nine reached that conclusion precisely because illegal aliens are ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the U.S., no less than legal aliens and U.S. citizens.”[31][37]
Statistics show that a significant, and rising, number of undocumented immigrants are having children in the United States, but there is mixed evidence that acquiring citizenship for the parents is their goal.[29] According to PolitiFact, the immigration benefits of having a child born in the United States are limited. Citizen children cannot sponsor parents for entry into the country until they are 21 years of age, and if the parent had ever been in the country illegally, they would have to show they had left and not returned for at least ten years; however, pregnant and nursing mothers could receive food vouchers through the federal WIC (Women, Infants and Children) program and enroll the children in Medicaid.[29]
Parents of citizen children who have been in the country for ten years or more can also apply for relief from deportation, though only 4,000 persons a year can receive relief status; as such, according to PolitFact, having a child in order to gain citizenship for the parents is “an extremely long-term, and uncertain, process.”[29] Approximately 88,000 legal-resident parents of US citizen children were deported in the 2000s, most for minor criminal convictions.[40]

Don’t know how Jordan can pursue an investigation into Hitlery since the FIB destroyed all the evidence.
Among the many things that I am thankful to Trump for is denying this witch the opportunity to be President.

ROFLOL!!
good job showing her!!!
He has no choice since Republicans will only stab him in the back.
“there is mixed evidence that acquiring citizenship for the parents is their goal.[29] According to PolitiFact, the immigration benefits of having a child born in the United States are limited.”
Not true. When I was growing up in El Paso teenage girls would come over to have their babies and then live on welfare here. And that was a long time ago when people were more conservative. Now I’m sure they get much more.
Thanks!
It’s a very bad deal. I hear McCarthy will need 40 to 50 Democrat votes to pass.
Chip Roy covered some nasty details on Twitter.
And no more debt limit talks until after 2024 election. Is that to help Biden, McCarthy or both? 🤔
“Controversy has erupted over @Disneyland’s use of a drag queen at a princess dress boutique at its California theme park.
Controversy has erupted???
That’s it??
How about outrage, anger and parental boycotting has hit this evil entity????
I say it’s to help BOTH.
Catturd warned us :-(
My aunt told me the Juarez women would cross over and deliver babies on the downtown sidewalks....in downtown dept stores, etc. This would’ve been at least in the mid - late 60s.
Here’s an older thread with more detail on the interpretation of the 14th Amendment....for birthright citizenship ....

If you’d like more info...you can put “anchor babies” “birthright citizenship”, etc., in the FR keyword search.
This may just backfire on McCarthy BIGLY.
Many on social media are calling for him to VACATE!

Today, the FBI informed @GOPoversight that it will not provide the unclassified documents subpoenaed by the Committee.
The Committee will now be taking steps to hold FBI Director Wray in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a lawful subpoena.

“...... the 14th Amendment, written to guarantee the citizenship rights of freed slaves after the Civil War, has morphed the amendment into a guarantee of birthright citizenship.”
That is what I was always taught. Because slaves were NOT considered citizen’s of the U.S. let alone even human beings.
The Naturalization part was because 8 of the signers were NOT born in the U.S. so that was to take care of all those who had arrived in the U.S. up to the point of the Constitution being written.
“48 of the 56 signers were born in America. Two were born in England (Button Gwinnett, Robert Morris), two in Ireland (George Taylor, Matthew Thornton), two in Scotland (James Wilson, John Witherspoon), one in Northern Ireland (James Smith), and one in Wales (Francis Lewis).”
Unfortunately those who wrote up the Constitution were to vague in many areas, and did not foresee how what they wrote would be twisted. I am sure though they DID NOT WANT children born in the U.S. from illegals to be able someday to be President of the U.S. who’s parents are loyal to the country of their birth. I have watched so many videos of the illegals coming across carrying their countries flag. They are not coming to be Americans, they are coming to take over. :-(
More kabuki by Comer?
I’ve lost faith in any action happening, with his committee and DC corruption.
😫
Agree 100%, Spunky.

@JoeyMannarino
While you were out barbecuing this weekend, an alleged “ally of the LGBTQ community” sent a bomb threat against 5 Target stores for removing “Pridewear.”
Nothing happened, but this is just to show that white supremacy is not the greatest threat we face.
LEFTIST SUPREMACY IS.
Gay supremacy.
Trans supremacy.
Black supremacy.
Under Joe Biden, ALL OF THESE pose a greater threat than a few angry white people with burning crosses.
I don’t see the Confederate flag flying anywhere, but I do see the Gay Pride flag asserting dominance EVERYWHERE.
I don’t see white men in hoods threatening blacks, but I do see white men in dresses and makeup threatening and attacking women.
I don’t see the KKK anymore, but I did see the BLM doing $2B worth of damage.
So no Joe, it’s not your friends the KKK who are our greatest threat.
It’s all the berserk identity groups you support and empower.

Hmmm. I wonder why Wray is protecting Biden. I thought we were supposed to “Trust Wray.”
