“This is one of the most important decisions in the history of the Court, and in my judgment, the Court has made a serious mistake,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote in his dissent to the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision to insert birthright citizenship into Americans’ Constitution.
He continued in plain language to show how the decision endorses birth tourism, which would automatically grant full citizenship to foreign adults who have never lived a full day in the United States:
The Court’s interpretation is not only contrary to the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment, it produces grotesque results. While foreigners who wish to immigrate lawfully must sometimes wait for many years, a child born here to a birth tourist is automatically a citizen.
The Court’s interpretation also has national-security implications… Suppose that a person’s only connection to this country is that he was born here to a mother who was present just long enough to give birth and then quickly returned to her native country. Suppose that country is a strategic adversary or enemy of the United States. Suppose the child never visited the United States while growing up and was inculcated with hatred of this country. According to the Court, that person is a citizen of the United States. He can enter and leave the country as he pleases. He can travel the world on a United States passport. Even if he plots to harm this country, he cannot be deprived of his status as a citizen, at least under current precedent.

It has ALREADY caused enormous damage to the is country.
This needs to go away.
This ruling on birthright citizenship is indeed grotesque
And its obviously utterly absurd in this era of 21st century jet travel.
If practiced by only two countries in the world - USA and Canada
It’s impossible that the “magic soil” notion and automatic citizenship was the intent of the writers of the 14th Amendment.
I agree with him that this is the largest abomination of Supreme Court decisions in recent memory. THIS just made ANY woman stopping into America and dumping her kid for ALL THE RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES OF BEING AN AMERICAN!! The Red Chinese can now ship their women here for new American-born Red Chinese kids to come back one day, voting, etc. Hell, one of these Red Chinese American-born kids can one day become President of the USA!! Just like Obama did!! 50 years or more from now, this may very well happen when these illegal kids comes of age.
Business idea:
“Birth Tourist Hotel, Birth Center and Maternity Ward”.
Billions await!
The birth tourist hotels already exist, along with the travel agencies that arrange the trip.
Roberts, Kagan, Sotomayor, Coney Barrett, and Ketanji Brown Jackson. These are the justices who opened the gate to Chinese (and other bad actors) flooding the country (unless Congress acts).
Kavanaugh filed an opinion concurring in the judgment and dissenting in part.
Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch wrote separate dissents.
Yup. Thanks Amy. You stupid &#^@^!

Yes, Judge it is indeed “grotesque”. So was Dred Scott. And we know what that led to.
In about 20 years it’s going to really, really suck to be a White male. Straight, gay, young, old, Jew or Gentile, it won’t matter.
Grotesque is a SCOTUS that equites the birth of slave children in the 1800’s to foreigners births today.
Were they at a liberal cocktail party hosted by the NY Times when this decision was made?
ALL THESE “BIRTH TOURISM “ BABIES CAN COME BACK & DEMAND CHEAPER TUITION WHEN THEY WANT TO ATTEND COLLEGE HERE.
AND THEN THEY ARE REALLY “EMBEDDED”.
Women did this.
SUCH HAVE BEEN IN OPERATION IN LOS ANGELES FOR GENERATIONS..
OLD MOTELS GET CONVERTED TO SUCH-—
I LEFT SO CALIF OVER 33 YEARS AGO & THEY WERE OPERATING THEN
ALL THESE “BIRTH TOURISM “ BABIES CAN COME BACK & DEMAND CHEAPER TUITION WHEN THEY WANT TO ATTEND COLLEGE HERE.
AND THEN THEY ARE REALLY “EMBEDDED”.
I ALSO WONDER WHO PAID FOR ALL THE HOSPITAL BILLS
When you are siding with the three dumbest women to ever sit on the supreme court, you should realize you are making a horrible blunder.
Bad news for Islam too, because the Chinese will be running America in a few decades, due to this ruling and the impotence of the GOP in Congress.
China won’t put up with Muslims here, or anywhere else once the lights are out for western civilization.
Which is what the SCOTUS has just decreed.
Sadly, your remark is dead on true, not even sarcasm.
