Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) announced on Tuesday that he plans to introduce legislation ending birthright citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants on American soil, citing it as a “magnet for illegal immigration.”
President Donald J. Trump announced on Tuesday that he plans to draft an executive order to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants born in America.
Trump told Axios’ Jonathan Swan: But now they’re saying I can do it with just an executive order. Now, how ridiculous–we are the only country in the world where a person comes in, has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States for 85 years with all of those benefits? It’s ridiculous. It’s ridiculous–and it has to end.
Sen. Graham cheered Trump’s move against birthright citizenship, citing it as a significant “magnet” for illegal immigration.
“Finally, a president willing to take on this absurd policy of birthright citizenship,” Graham said in a statement. “I’ve always supported comprehensive immigration reform – and at the same time – the elimination of birthright citizenship.”
Graham continued explaining that birthright citizenship is a foreign concept in most modern countries.
The South Carolina Republican said, “The United States is one of two developed countries in the world who grant citizenship based on location of birth. This policy is a magnet for illegal immigration, out of the mainstream of the developed world, and needs to come to an end.”
Eliminating birthright citizenship would prevent children born of illegal aliens would not receive citizenship status and would likely deter the practice of foreigners having “anchor babies” where immigrants plan to give birth to children on American soil to obtain citizenship for their children.

HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Miracles still do happen!
My thoughts exactly. He finally knows how his bread is buttered. Good job, Lindsey! We love you (now) 😘
>Another law that we need to enact is that you must be a U.S. citizen to buy property. That will initially cause the real estate market to crash as all of the foreigners will be forced to sell their holdings or become a citizen. This will then allow real Americans will be able to enter the real estate market for the first time in their lives.<
Absolutely! When you sell your basic life giving systems, which land is the primary one, you as a nation and culture are doomed.
Mexico has rigidly enforced laws forbidding foreigners from buying up land and other resources.
We don’t get rich selling our basic life support assets for paper fiat money to people who can and will impose their will on us simply because they own us.
I believe we have to retake our resources and husband them for not only our children and grandchildren, but ourselves as well.
So, these balls are deflatable?
Graham is doing this so it fails; knowing it will fail to head off Trump’s EO.
He is enjoying his newly acquired balls.

Maybe McCain had a tight grip on them, so when the angry one croaked, the Great Senator was finally freed.
That’s my interpretation and understanding, too. The liberals bastardized the original intent to give birthright to anybody with a foot on US soil.
I think “catch and release” has actually accelerated. I hadn’t heard President Trump ended the “release” part.
“Follow the Constitution” - what a novel idea!
Wow! Sorry McCain had to die, but Lindsey is reborn!
That’s not it.
Maybe also had to do with new SCOTUS majority as any EO or act of Congress would surely be challenged.
It seemed to be consistent with the 14th.
Congress defined part of the understanding of the 14th a hundred years ago, making Native Americans citizens not just members of their tribes.
ANOTHER good ploy. Have it hashed out in public and in the courts, and in the process, disseminate the REAL intent of the 14th Amendment to that unaware segment of the public.
And he knows the GOP-e will never let this come for a vote.
What he will get is a bigger mailing list for his re-election

Illegals are not supposed to be eligible for welfare already - but many states ignore that law.

States?
When Fedzilla aids and abets (at the detriment of Citizens)...what THEN?
I first heard about the ending of the ‘release’ part of ‘catch and release’ by President Trump during his interview with Ingraham. It’s been restated many times since.
Thanks. I haven’t watched his interview w Laura yet.
