Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined the majority in determining that President Donald Trump's Executive Order 14160, which determined that the U.S. should be like most other nations on earth and not grant citizenship to the newborns of illegal aliens, could not take effect.
But in his concurrence he also outlined a roadmap for the president's agenda to move forward, through Congress.
Kavanaugh, in his concurrence, said the case should have been resolved under federal law, not the Constitution.
And he diagrammed a possible legislative path for that to happen.
A report at Fox News explains Congress first wrote the 14th Amendment's birthright citizenship language into federal law in 1940, then carried it over into the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952.
But that was after the Supreme Court's landmark 1898 decision in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, which said most people born in the United States are U.S. citizens automatically, and Kavanaugh said lawmakers effectively incorporated the court's interpretation into federal statute.

Patriotism, NOT hateriotism!
Republicans in Congress will not support this plan of action because it will both help the country and also increase Republican political power. So it’s dead in the water.
You’re pissing up a rope if the solution starts with “we need congress to . . .
“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”
I wasn’t aware that Chinese breeding cows and their unborn progeny were subject to the jurisdiction of the USA.
It doesn’t say:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside”
does it.
Those completely compromised deadbeats? LOL!
On the other hand, this is a long established tradition.
I see Kavanaugh point.
This really is task for Congress to pass.
relying on executive order and switching back and forth would be a mess!
I know right. Now, need to call nancy for some stock tips...
We need to come up with some kind of solution.
I haven’t studied it but something like if you’re 6+ months pregnant, you’re in the USA illegally and the sentence for that is 5 years prison. No welfare. You would be required to give up the child to adoption services.
Make it so harsh to where they don’t want to deliver here.
Again, I haven’t studied it but make it very harsh for them if they drop their babies on us.
Well, then Trump is as well, if he thinks he’s going to leave office not having patched up the psycho level corruption at the Supreme Court
But he will fix it. He intends to I am sure. Watching
Congress has ignored dual citizenship for over 200 years and handful of SCOTUS case rulings, that it up to Congress to fix it. SCOTUS also ruled the the US oath of naturalization was ceremonial only and has no legal weight.
Too bad about Trump's big blunder: Amy Coney Rabbit and her "Rainbow Fambley". President Trump: the warning signs were all there. All the warning signs. Jeez. Do you ever learn?
I love it when an article starts off with an absolutely false premise.
Birthright citizenship is rare, practiced by only about 30 - 35 countries out of roughly 195 (15 - 18%) in the world.
Of the 38 - 40 countries that are considered to be highly civilized, only two (the US and Canada) practice birthright citizenship.
Sorry, that's an exclusive club, and as Carlin said, "you ain't in it"
As far as you know. 😂😂😂
“Getting it passed with the spineless republicrats in d.c. Not bloody likely.”
I laugh ever time I see a Republican congressman brag on X about what BOLD legislation they’ve proposed. We know that nothing will come of it, they know nothing will come of it, they know we know nothing will come of it, but they still brag about it.
“Kavanaugh said lawmakers effectively incorporated the court’s interpretation into federal statute.”
********
There are two legal concerns, Amendment XIV and 8 USC 1401.
8 U.S. Code § 1401...:
“The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
(a) a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof;”
Congress can change 8 USC 1401, and should:
(a) a person born in the United States [prior to July 4th, 2026], and subject to the jurisdiction thereof;”
All that needs to be done is to add a date and two words.
Why are the leftists not merely relying on Amendment XIV?
Because they know it was meant for the “Africans” of 1868.
“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.”
Funny how the last part seems to get left out in quotes. It means the quoted sentence is retrospective as of the time of ratification and not prospective.
Birth tourism babies typically never reside in the USA.
My alternative suggestion:
The Income Tax Free & Property Tax Free Country Act of 2026
Each state government shall be entitled to create new countries. The territory of each country shall be such that navigation to an ocean or the Gulf of Mexico is possible.
Each such country shall given a constitution, which shall provide, in perpetuity, that it shall be forever revenue limited to motor fuel and personal property sales taxation.
These new countries and their citizens shall be legally independent of all existing domestic governments and courts.
Each such country shall be deemed to have a treaty with the United States, which shall, in perpetuity:
1. ensure each American citizen who becomes a citizen and permanent resident of such a country shall not suffer a revenue imposition from any government of the United States,
2. ensure that country shall have free civilian navigation to and from international waters, and
3. bar the placement of foreign military means within the physical bounds of the country.
That can be done by majority vote.
Those pathetic RINOs won’t even pass the SAVE act. 😣
