➡ The Supreme Court has allowed an executive order by the President to change the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment, meaning that not all individuals born in the US will automatically be American citizens. This decision overturns a previous ruling that granted citizenship to children born to illegal immigrants. The new interpretation emphasizes that citizenship does not automatically extend to those born in the US if their parents are not citizens or green card holders. This change could lead to different birthright citizenship regulations across states.
➡ Justice William Brennan’s 1982 footnote in a Supreme Court decision, which states that children born to illegal immigrants in the U.S. are automatically citizens, is being challenged. The hope is that the conservative majority, which has previously overturned significant rulings, will also overturn this interpretation of the 14th Amendment. This could lead to significant changes in the nation for future generations. The author also invites readers to join a conversation by calling a hotline to share their thoughts on various topics.

So Democrats and the legacy media are starting to flip out over the ramifications of Friday’s ruling from the Supreme Court. Here’s just a sampling of the local news stories that broke out over the weekend. Check this out. In just a matter of weeks, people who are born in the US won’t necessarily be American citizens automatically. That’s because the Supreme Court will allow an executive order issued by the President changing the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment to go into effect. Yeah, let me just stop there really quickly because I think we’re already seeing a bit of a straw man here.

I mean, obviously, obviously not everyone born in the United States gets automatic American citizenship, right? I mean, the Fourteenth Amendment does not, it emphatically does not say that all persons born in the US are citizens. There is no such thing as birthright citizenship, which I hope to show you in the course of this video. But I mean, for example, a child born in the United States to a foreign diplomat is not a citizen. A foreign diplomat can serve here in the United States for years, have lots and lots of kids born here, and not a single one of those children will be counted automatically as a citizen, not one.

There are all kinds of exceptions to this. The Fourteenth Amendment does not apply to tourists. It doesn’t apply to ambassadors. Again, there are all kinds of exceptions. And what President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship is basically done, as I’ll explain in due course, is he’s overturned an absurd footnote to a ruling back in the 1980s by a radical leftist Supreme Court justice that claimed that babies born to illegal migrants were automatically citizens. But let’s keep going. I just hope her citizenship is safe still. This mother wants to remain anonymous. She came to Florida a few years ago under a tourist visa to have her daughter, and she left just a few months later.

Stop. Stop. Did you hear that? She came to Florida a few years ago under a tourist visa to have her daughter. She got a tourist visa to have her daughter here in the United States. I mean, she openly admits it, or they openly admit it. They’re openly admitting that she exploited our tourist visa program deliberately to have her baby born here so she can get you a citizenship. I mean, they’re not even trying to hide it anymore. Let’s just keep going. I fear that she could be treated differently because of how she obtained her immigration status.

We wanted my daughter to have the opportunity to study in America in the future, but we as a family have no plans to move there. No plans to move here, but don’t let the door hit you on the way out. On Friday, the Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration once again, clearing the way to end birthright citizenship, something that could happen in a matter of four weeks. And thanks to this decision, we can now promptly file to proceed with numerous policies that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis. In January, President Donald Trump signed an executive order changing the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment, stating that American citizenship does not automatically extend to those born in the United States when their parents are not citizens or green card holders.

This immigration attorney explains with a new ruling we could see different birthright citizenship regulations across different states. Florida’s not part of that, so is it possible that the vital records people here in Florida, not subject to that universal injunction anymore, might start issuing birth certificates compliant with the executive order? Yes. So the executive order is expected to take effect once again in 30 days, Darlene. So now, if you can believe it, what you just heard there was actually rather tame by comparison of other local media outlets. Take a look at this historical report coming from a local news station in Savannah, Georgia.

You’re not going to believe this. As of this very moment, technically, the executive order can take effect in all other states, including South Carolina and Georgia. It might be, and most likely will happen, that within the next few days, we will see new legal actions, new court orders. The orders aren’t going to go into effect for 30 days, right? So there’s 30 days for this to be fought out. But then… What are you going to do with somebody in a hospital, undocumented alien, to have a child? You know, are the ICE agents going to show up and take that child and kick them out of the United States? It’s a very vulnerable and very particular group of people that are all in legal status, yet they are not green card holders yet.

They are on the path to green card holder to become green card holders, but not yet. And so if they have a child that is born, what does this mean for this child? Well, I got huge news. My brand new book, America Awakened, officially launches July 4th, and it’s already being called my most important work yet. The book unpacks the fall of globalism, the rise of a new conservative age, and how you are part of it. If you want to be on the inside, if you want to understand where we’re going and why, this is your guide.

So don’t wait, grab your copy of America Awakened and join the movement that’s changing the world. So again, you’ll notice that these local news affiliates, they’re not even trying to at least appear objective or unbiased. They are 100% behind this absolutely absurd notion, this totally unconstitutional notion, that illegal migrants, people who are not supposed to be here in the first place, who have no legal claim whatsoever to being here, can give birth to kids and automatically those kids become US citizens. No country on the planet would even dream of having such a legal structure for obvious reasons.

Now, as I’m sure you have guessed, the 14th Amendment does not say that all persons born in the United States are automatically citizens. It simply does not even come close to making a statement like that. In fact, there is no birthright citizenship in the Constitution, period. Full stop, as our borderline illiterate, auto-pen justice, Katonji Jackson, would say. The Constitution says, quote, all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens. That second critical conditional phrase is conveniently ignored or just completely misconstrued, misrepresented by advocates of birthright citizenship. It’s that second clause that’s so key here.

Subject to the jurisdiction thereof. Scholars have long noted that the original meaning of that phrase refers to the political allegiance of an individual and the jurisdiction that a foreign government has over that individual. So as the Heritage Foundation has pointed out, the fact that a tourist or illegal alien is subject to our laws and our courts, if they violate our laws, does not place them within the political jurisdiction of the United States as that phrase was defined by the framers of the 14th Amendment. The amendment’s language was derived from the 1866 Civil Rights Act, which provided that all persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power would be considered citizens.

So a key distinction here, you want to write this down, the key distinction here is what we call territorial jurisdiction versus political jurisdiction, territorial jurisdiction versus political jurisdiction. So illegal migrants are obviously subject to what we call our territorial jurisdiction in that they have to abide by and are responsible to the laws of our land, which they broke just by being here. But the difference is precisely because they are not citizens, they are not subjects to our political jurisdiction. They can’t vote, for example. They’re not allowed to. Let’s put it that way. They’re still the citizens of the country they left.

They do not have American passports. They do not have green cards. They are not American citizens in any way, shape or form. And so what the 14th Amendment is saying is that you have to be in some way, shape or form under the political jurisdiction, not territorial, political jurisdiction in the United States in order for your children to be granted birthright. I shouldn’t even call it birthright. In order for your children to be granted citizenship by virtue of being born here. It’s not hard. Again, this is why the kids born to diplomats from foreign countries are not granted automatic citizenship.

This is why tourists who happen to go into labor while they’re here, their kids are not granted automatic citizenship. They’re under territorial jurisdiction. They have to obey our laws, but they’re not under political jurisdiction in that they can’t vote. And that latter jurisdiction is the political prerequisite for birthright citizenship full stop to the extent that there is that I don’t even think we should use that term anymore. And illegal migrants, migrants who do not have political permission to be in our nation by definition are not subjects of our political jurisdiction. Again, this isn’t hard. But apparently it is when you have local news stations posing as journalists when in point of fact they’re nothing more than radical left wing activists.

If you ever wonder where all this confusion comes from, you can thank the liberal zealot justice William Brennan who slipped a footnote into a 1982 Supreme Court opinion announcing that the kids born to illegals on U.S. soil are, voila, automatically citizens based on his apparent inability to read the second qualifying clause. So this all goes back to a freaking footnote, a footnote to a decision, 1980 Supreme Court decision. So President Trump is absolutely right in what he’s doing here. And I’m hoping that the conservative majority that overturned Roe v. Wade and the Chevron doctrine that just completely destroyed and dismantled this whole notion of national injunctions from these idiot judges.

I’m hoping that same 63 majority will overturn this absurd interpretation of the 14th Amendment in the process. I think they will. And as such, once again, Trump will have changed the nation for the better for generations to come. Hey there, Turley Talk. You know what? I’d love to hear from you.
