Democrats’ Latest Scheme to Keep Borders Open
In a move that surprises absolutely no one, four Democrat-led states have decided to challenge President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship. Because heaven forbid we actually try to address the rampant abuse of our immigration system. These states, led by the usual suspects of liberal strongholds, are running to a federal judge in Seattle – shocking, I know – to block the implementation of an order that dares to question the sacred cow of automatic citizenship for anyone born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents’ status.
The lawsuit, part of a broader assault involving 22 states and various immigrant rights groups, is set to be heard on February 19. It’s as if these Democrats wake up every morning asking themselves, “How can we further erode America’s sovereignty today?” The executive order, signed on Inauguration Day (talk about hitting the ground running), could affect hundreds of thousands of people. But apparently, that’s not enough for the left – they want to ensure that number stays in the millions.
The Left’s Obsession with Open Borders
Let’s break this down for those keeping score at home. The U.S. is one of about 30 countries that apply birthright citizenship, a principle known as jus soli. But here’s the kicker – we’re one of the few developed nations still clinging to this outdated concept. Most others have long since realized that handing out citizenship like candy on Halloween might not be the best immigration policy. But no, according to the left, we must maintain this relic of a bygone era, consequences be damned.
“President Trump’s attempt to unilaterally end birthright citizenship is a flagrant violation of our Constitution. For more than 150 years, our country has followed the same basic rule: babies who are born in this country are American citizens.” – New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin
The lawsuits claim that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship for those born in the U.S., a view that’s been held for over a century. But here’s a thought – maybe, just maybe, it’s time to reassess this interpretation in light of our current immigration crisis. Trump’s order argues that children of non-citizens are not under U.S. jurisdiction and should not be recognized as citizens. It’s a bold move, and one that’s long overdue.
The Real Cost of Unchecked Immigration
While the left wrings its hands over the potential “harm” of denying automatic citizenship, they conveniently ignore the very real harm inflicted on American citizens by unchecked illegal immigration. The strain on our healthcare system, our schools, and our social services is immense. But apparently, that’s a price the Democrats are willing to pay – with your money, of course.
The lawsuit highlights potential negative impacts, including loss of access to healthcare and education for about 150,000 children annually. But what about the millions of American children who already struggle with overcrowded classrooms and overburdened healthcare systems? Where’s their lawsuit?
As this legal circus unfolds, one thing is clear – the left will stop at nothing to keep our borders as porous as possible, even if it means twisting the Constitution into a pretzel. It’s high time we had a serious conversation about what it means to be an American citizen, and whether handing out citizenship based solely on geography is really in our nation’s best interests. But don’t hold your breath waiting for the Democrats to engage in that discussion. They’re too busy running to the courts to preserve an amendment that’s long past its expiration date.
