The Supreme Court has issued a ruling that has sparked intense debate and controversy, with many deeming it one of the most disastrous in generations.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the three liberal justices to block President Donald Trump's executive order and hand over birthright citizenship to the children of tens of millions of illegal aliens and birth tourists from China and other enemy nations.
The majority ruled that the 14th Amendment, which was passed after the Civil War to give former slaves equal rights, mandates citizenship to nearly anyone born on U.S. soil, regardless of their immigration status or allegiance to the country.
This decision has significant national security implications, as it puts the newborn child of an MS-13 gangster who crossed the border illegally on equal footing with the descendants of generations of Americans who fought world wars and built the country from nothing.
Justice Samuel Alito warned in dissent that this ruling is "one of the most important decisions in the history of the Court, and in my judgment, the Court has made a serious mistake."
The damage from this ruling cannot be overstated, as it threatens the very foundation of American sovereignty and national identity.
Citizenship defines who shares in America's blessings and burdens, who upholds its values, who honors its history, and who joins its social contract.
The American people built the New York skyline, tamed a vast frontier, defeated fascism and communism, landed on the Moon, and created the freest and most prosperous and powerful country in human history.
Deciding who we invite to share in this legacy is a fundamental aspect of American self-governance.
The 14th Amendment's ratifiers could never have imagined, let alone intended, citizenship for the children of millions of unvetted illegals or for a birth-tourism industry that's funneled hundreds of thousands of foreigners, especially from China, into the country for this purpose.
Justice Alito noted that a child born here to an enemy visitor from China or another hostile power, then raised abroad to hate the United States, would have lifelong citizenship and the right to vote in every election, potentially even running for president of the United States.
The votes of Justices Roberts and Barrett, who call themselves originalists, are especially despicable, as they ignore the amendment's text, history, and limiting principles.
The Supreme Court recognized the principle of excluding children of diplomats and children of invading soldiers from birthright citizenship in Elk v. Wilkins (1884), ruling that Native Americans born on reservations were not entitled to birthright citizenship under the amendment.
Congress later extended birthright citizenship to them by statute in 1924, but the amendment's ratifiers could never have intended it for the children of illegal immigrants, foreign criminals, or fraudster tourists.
By deciding the case on sweeping constitutional grounds, the majority made fixing this catastrophe extraordinarily difficult, requiring the passage of a constitutional amendment by two-thirds of both chambers of Congress and three-fourths of the states or a constitutional convention.
This ultimate betrayal by the court is unforgivable, and the Trump administration must pursue mass deportations of all illegal immigrants, starting with women of childbearing age, to prevent them from creating more fake citizens.
Cutting federal funds for programs that benefit illegal immigrants will also force the hands of those who exploit our generosity, and the Trump Justice Department must continue to use all criminal and civil tools to sue, imprison, denaturalize, and expel illegal aliens who have entered our country and attacked our citizens.
The American people deserved better from Justices Roberts and Barrett, who put their vanity over our sovereignty, national security, and country.
Lifetime tenure exists precisely so justices can resist political fads and elite pressure, but this abomination of a ruling destroys our sovereign power and duty as We The People to define and control our own future.
It amounts to national suicide by judicial decree, and it is the ultimate betrayal by five unelected narcissists in robes.
