VP Vance: “Neither law nor morality appears in a vacuum, but ultimately come from religion. And the morality and religion that formed the American consciousness were decidedly Christian, founded upon the principles and the divinity of Jesus Christ.”
James Talarico: "In my mind, Theocracy is the most dangerous form of government. Our faith in Jesus should lead us away from theocracy, tyranny, Christian nationalism and toward a multi-racial, multi-cultural democracy."
From our country’s beginning, for as long as America has embodied freedom and exceptionalism, the soul of our nation has been rooted in the Christian faith.
Today we gather, as our forefathers did on this day centuries ago, to rededicate our nation to God.
I am introducing a Constitutional Amendment to end Birthright Citizenship.
Under current interpretations of American law, anyone born on American soil automatically becomes a U.S. citizen, regardless of whether the parent was here legally or not. This is wrong and not at all the intent of those who wrote the 14th Amendment.
We are a country filled with immigrants, and legal immigration is valuable and should be protected. But we are also a country whose borders have been too open and our generosity exploited too often. President Trump has moved to seal our border from illegal immigrants more than any other president.
But we will have more to do.
We need to make sure that only children born to legal residents of the U.S. are automatically citizens. I have supported protecting birthright citizenship from abuse since the beginning of my tenure in the Senate, when I cosponsored the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2011, and now I am proposing an amendment to protect United States citizenship in case the Supreme Court fails to address this issue correctly.
One of the worst things about our current immigration nightmare—and one that often goes unmentioned—is the fact that:
NO ONE VOTED FOR THIS.
Seriously. Not one American—Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, etc—ever voted for this.
Because no elected official ever ran on a “We are going to let 100 million+ immigrants into the country” platform.
They just did it anyway, once in power, without the consent of the governed.
We are a nation of settlers and citizens. Immigrants transport to another country. America was born out of settlers conquering a new found land. Republicans using Democrat talking points isn’t going to cut it.

This is how to fix voting in a constitutional republic:
1. Only those in mandatory selective service get to vote
2. Pass the SAVE Act and ensure only legal citizens are voting
3. Have at least three years of gainful employment and are currently paying taxes
4. One vote per household, the standard throughout most of human history
Those who only stand to gain will always vote for more gain.
@DeaceProducer The Save Act is proof that Republicans want to lose and be the minority party forever because then they can just gripe and complain and make a lot of money without ever doing anything. If they actually passed the Save Act they might actually win MORE and then lose their grift.
@StevenN23402223 False. It’s actually the opposite when you read the less clear text of Revelation 20 in light of the more clear text of John 5:24-29 and John 6. It’s basic hermeneutics.

@TinashePeter_ 6/ Dispensationalism is actually the bad theology that rebuilds the wall between Jew and Gentile in the people of God that the gospel tore down (Ephesians 2:11-22). Stop calling the historic Protestant faith evil. Your theology didn’t even exist till early 1800s.
@TinashePeter_ 5/ Literally just read your Bible. It’s not replacement theology. Gentiles are you”grafted in” the Olive Tree of the people of God (Ro 11). Christ is the true Israel. He is the fulfillment. All those who are in Him belong to Israel.
