Levin: “Birthright Citizenship” Adopted for Political Power
The Post & Email Newspaper ^ | 15 Dec 2024 | Sharon Rondeau

(Dec. 15, 2024) — On Saturday’s edition of “Life, Liberty & Levin,” host Mark Levin’s opening monologue immediately focused on immigration and “national identity,” quoting from works by political scientist and Pres. Jimmy Carter adviser Samuel P. Huntington and historian and JFK presidential adviser Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.

“In a variety of ways,” Huntington wrote in “Who Are We?: The Challenges to America’s National Identity (2005),” Levin quoted, “the American establishment, governmental and private, has become increasingly divorced from the American people,” causing those in power to morph into “an unrepresentative democracy” by opposing the will of those who placed them there.

Levin compared Huntington’s ruminations to Trump’s “landslide” re-election last month in light of his focus on border security and “mass deportations” of illegal aliens. “The people support it,” Levin said. “Now the media are pushing back; the Democrat Party is pushing back; academia is pushing back; the same so-called elites, the same ruling class, the same establishment that put us in this position now with massively open borders…”

The Democrats’ purpose in embracing birthright citizenship, which is the awarding of U.S. citizenship to anyone born within the country’s borders, and liberal immigration policy, Levin declared, was to secure their position as a “monopoly party” “for the next century.” .. continue reading this very good article at the link provided ...

And if you read the whole article, you will see that Mark Levin just said on his show: ” … Of course not; we don’t confer citizenship on the children of tourists and diplomats and students. … ”. Emphasis added.

Well Mark Levin, aka "The Great one" per another big voice, Sean Hannity, why didn’t you Mr. Levin state that complete set before. Because with the above truthful legally correct statement you just made, Kamala Harris was NOT a Citizen at/by Birth (CAB) of the United States when she was born to parents who were both students here in the USA temporarily on student VISA’s when Kamala was born in CA!

And thus, Kamala Harris not even being a "Citizen at Birth" (CAB), Kamala Harris certainly could not then have had two more adjectives applied to and in front of the Citizen noun, i.e., she thus could not be a “natural born Citizen” of the United States, an (nbC), at birth either.

Levin and others with the big megaphones could have prevented the country from going through the nightmare governance under two de-facto Obama terms and a 3rd Obama behind the curtains term controlling the Biden administration, and Levin could have stopped the unconstitutional seating of Obama and of Harris. But he chose to remain silent when it really counted. And even worse to his not leading the charge to stop the constitutionally ineligible candidates of Obama and Harris, Mr. Levin instead chose to shout down call-ins to his radio show anyone who brought up the issue, and also to ignore learned people who challenged him to debate the issues of “birthright Citizenship” and “natural born Citizen” on his show, in response to his challenges to prove he was wrong back then.

NOW, with the pendulum swinging back to the truth and a We the People mandate given to Trump to clean up the mess that Levin allowed Obama and Harris to make of our country but not speaking up to oppose their constitutional eligibility for the offices they gained access to, now, he wants to come over to the right side of the debate on CAB and nbC terms, to the truth about the CAB and nbC terms. How convenient!

I remember at a Value Voters summit in Washington DC many years ago during Obama’s first term, where I and another person, personally approached Mark Levin face-to-face, since he was one of the guest speakers at the event, and handing to him information about the Minor v Happersett (1875) U.S. Supreme Court holding and decision which stated what a “natural born Citizen” ("nbC") is without any doubt, i.e., that an nbC is a person born in the country of parents who were both Citizens of the country, and that Obama was thus not one.

He said at the time that "he not familiar with that case”, which to us was unbelievable, and that he’d look at it later. We told him he should read it and speak out about it. He never did speak out about it and never did get back to us. Thus his comments to us at the time were pure B.S.

I believe he has known the truth about the CAB and nbC terms all along all along, but kept silent on purpose to keep his radio show and other media outlets available to him. So his personal financial status was more important to him back then, or fear of the racism charge, such that he chose to do nothing to stop Obama’s unconstitutional rise to the Oval Office, and Harris to the VP office, and put many and insulting roadblock and put down in the way of others who tried. By his silence, he helped the far-left get those two usurpers in office.

How does he continually get away with what he does! I don’t know.

As I read the Amendment, it’s only supposed to be for those who have chosen to go through the process of breaking with their home country and adopting the United States as the new home country.

Supreme Court ruled that the 14th Amendment grants birthright citizenship in 1898

Yes...I have my great great grandfather’s naturalization papers from around 1860 where he had to renounce his German citizenship

The case involved a Chinese son of a couple who were barred from citizenship because of racism, despite having otherwise met the conditions of citizenship.

The 14th Amendment was not meant to be an easy path to citizenship.

Read the facts and holding of that 1898 SCOTUS decision re WKA. The also read what Mark Levin I quoted that he said on his Saturday show, and emphasized in my first comment above, " ... Of course not; we don’t confer citizenship on the children of tourists and diplomats and students. ... "

The Wong Kim Ark 1898 SCOTUS case did NOT apply to people who birthed children in the USA who were here in the USA as tourists, diplomats, students, or illegal alieninvaders!

Read the case holding and decision before you cite U.S. Supreme Court cases that do not apply. That is exactly what the far-left progressive movement and the enabling media have been doing for decades. And look what that finally got us -- Obama and Harris.

“All from other lands, who, by the terms of your laws and in compliance with their provisions become naturalized, are adopted citizens of the United States; all other persons born within the Republic, of parents owing allegiance to no other sovereignty, are natural born citizens. Gentlemen can find no exception to this statement touching natural born citizen except what is said in the Constitution in relation to [Native American] Indians.” [underline emphasis added] Source: Congressman John Bingham (R) OH the “Father of the 14th Amendment”, 1862, Congressional Globe – http://www.usnaturalborncitizen.com/bingham.html

I haven’t listened to Mark “The Neocon” Levin since the 2020 presidential election.

For all his bloviating and Jerky-Boys style shrieking about the great character of the Founding Fathers and his favorite tyrant Abe Lincoln (who supported slavery, read DiLorenzo’s The Real Lincoln), he went completely silent while the communists stole the presidency in 2020.

Only a few muttered words about what was happening in PA being wrong.

I guess he likes the microphone and paychecks he gets from Faux News, because when it came time to stand up for ‘sacred honor’ he kept his mouth shut like they told him to if he wanted to keep the microphone and paychecks.

Hannity did likewise.

“Subject to the jurisdiction thereof..”

Clearly does not apply to people in country without citizenship.

“My people suffer because of ignorance.” Paraphrasing from scripture.

Mark is pundentry pimp, your supposed shut up you idiot and buy his latest book. That guy makes a one trick pony look authentic. I remember driving down pch listening to him bad mouthing us here on free republic because his boy,Ted Cruz, was getting his butt kicked by Trump. Mark went into a tizzy about some nonsense involving agrarian populism. Then once Trump won Mark found Jesus. I’m trying to like him but he just mean a high iq mean guy masquerading a champion of liberty as he outlines in his latest book that you should all buy

Barred from citizenship because of a *TREATY* with the Emperor of China that forbade the United States from granting citizenship to any Chinese subjects.
