The government watchdog group, The Oversight Project, has released a multipoint plan to protect the homeland and the integrity of U.S. citizenship following the Supreme Court's ruling on birthright citizenship.
The plan, dubbed "Keeping Families Together," aims to prevent the dilution of American citizenship by targeting parents of so-called "anchor babies" and combatting "birth tourism." According to the plan, the focus should be on deporting parents of potential anchor babies, which would likely result in the child being deported as well.
Attorney and president of The Oversight Project, Mike Howell, emphasized the importance of preventing the multiplication effect of illegal alien communities. He suggested increasing deportations, particularly in areas where legal immigration is concentrated. "Go to 'red' places and deport," he said.
Howell's plan also includes measures to combat "birth tourism," in which foreign nationals travel to the U.S. to give birth to U.S.-citizen children. He pointed to China as the biggest source of the practice and other economic threats. To address this issue, Howell suggested suspending all visas for countries like China that engage in birth tourism.
The plan has sparked controversy, with some lawmakers advocating for constitutional amendments to overturn the court's ruling. However, observers say the efforts appear politically untenable at present.
Despite the challenges, the White House has reaffirmed President Trump's commitment to protecting the value of natural-born citizenship. The administration has directed Congress to take immediate action to address the issue and will double down on efforts to keep the border secure and deport illegal aliens.
The Department of Justice has also signaled its intention to prioritize birth-tourism schemes, with a spokesperson stating that the agency will work to "Make America Safe Again." The agency has reported significant deportations and arrests under the Trump administration, with over 948,000 illegal aliens deported and over 981,000 arrested as of June 24.
