Dear @VP@JDVance, I was honored to see you endorse my idea of prohibiting birth tourism citizenship in U.S. Territories (which China has exploited to the hilt), and I'd like to offer you some even bolder ideas to save our national sovereignty.
So far, solutions to the Anchor Baby problem have focused on the "anchors," but the SCOTUS decision requires renewing focus on the "boats" they tether and ending their incentives to give birth here. Here’s how.
Take all the conditions in the original Trump EO and direct all the consequences onto foreigners who exploit "loophole citizenship" by declaring them PERSONA NON GRATA.
Specifically, if an alien without legal permanent residency chooses to have a child on U.S. soil, the foreigner parents must either renounce the child’s American citizenship or lose the ability to ever again legally step foot in the U.S., their choice.
Under the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. § 1182(f)), the President has broad power to suspend or restrict entry of any class of foreign nationals the President determines would be “detrimental to the interests of the United States.” The President should use this authority to deem such foreigners:
1) permanently ineligible for U.S. entry under any visa type (whether visitor, student, work, or otherwise)
2) permanently ineligible to petition for asylum, refugee, or temporary protected status
3) permanently ineligible for lottery or family based entry
4) permanently ineligible to petition for any legal residency or U.S. citizenship whatsover, including by future marriage to an American citizen.
Foreigners cynically use their children as tools to get lawful access to the U.S., its resources, and its opportunities that were paid for in blood and treasure by generations of Americans that came before. Forever shut the door to that access and birth tourism would plummet overnight.
But what about the people who would defy any ban or are already here illegally? That’s a tougher problem, but still addressable. The lawbreakers would have know that if they exploit “loophole citizenship” and choose not to renounce their child’s U.S. citizenship, they will have automatically moved themselves up on the deportation tracking and priority list.
The president can also exercise his discretion under the INA to strip away common procedural tools immigration lawyers use to delay or withhold removal and can require expedited deportation once they are caught as we currently do with repeat offenders and criminals.
Congress, for its part, should codify these changes to prevent any potential future open borders President from unilaterally undoing them. It may also need to create mechanisms for a parent covered by the EO to be able to renounce their child's American citizenship as an exercise of their parental rights, especially in cases of truly accidental births on U.S. soil.
States too have a role to play in limiting perverse incentives. For example, they can require parents who are here illegally to pay for the public schooling of their children, whether U.S. citizen or not (and thereby prompt the court to revisit the wrongly decided Plyler v. Doe decision of 1982).
People are furious because the biggest court rewrite of the Constitution since Obergefell has placed our national identity at the mercy of foreigners making decisions according to THEIR interests, on THEIR timing, and on THEIR terms.
In the American system of government, for every egregious SCOTUS decision, there should be an equal and opposite reaction from the other federal branches, the states, and the People. It’s how our system is designed, and we should exercise that power to make sure it is Americans, and only Americans, who decide who can join our great nation.
Free enterprise is the foundation of America’s economic success, and it remains our edge on the world stage.
Under @DFC_CEO, America’s Deal Team embraces the scale and sophistication of the U.S. private sector to help advance the interests of our nation and partners.
The relationship between the United States and Britain is rooted in shared ideals of liberty, shaped by history, culture, and mutual sacrifice. From foundational documents to moments of crisis like World War II, both nations have repeatedly stood by one another, building a lasting partnership grounded in trust, resilience, and a common commitment to freedom.

Finnish President @alexstubb thinks Trump can secure an unconditional ceasefire in Ukraine.
"Ukraine is in a much better place politically, militarily and economically than they have been at any time during this war," he tells @DashaBurns.

Two common threads in recent communist victories: the so-called highly educated, indoctrinated by leftist schools to believe in socialism, and the affordability crisis created by socialist spending policies. We know the fix: capitalism and free enterprise.
Congress can demonstrate it before the midterms through Reconciliation 3.0. 👇https://t.co/AQX2ai92o9
Comments Given in Seoul on Impacts to acquisition and technology transfer driven by demands of South Korea building an indigenous nuclear powered submarine.
This endeavor was discussed and agreed in principle at summit meeting in Buson, South Korea last year. Operational needs, industrial capacities and common interest in regaining commercial shipbuilding market space, leads to a Small Modular Reactor adapted to existing South Korean KSS III (and Japan’s Taigei class) submarine currently in production as the optimum path forward.
These small modular reactors are fast being developed in the US. An important use-case for these is in commercial shipping, which South Korea is deeply invested in assisting US rebuild.
My message in Seoul’s was to mitigate risk and costs by taking an iterative approach to developing a domestic nuclear submarine centered initially on a scaled down small modular reactor developed initially for commercial purposes. And, to build on but not compete with the AUKUS nuclear submarine endeavor amongst US-Australia-UK.
See the full report on best way forward on developing a South Korean (and Japanese) nuclear powered submarine:

On the cusp of America's 250th anniversary, DFC is proud to carry the torch of American Economic Statecraft into a new era of strength, growth, and goodwill.
It’s not a coincidence that cities ignoring federal immigration law are also home to Antifa terrorist cells. It’s part of a coorindated effort by the Left to destroy American sovereignty and rule through anarcho-tyranny.

The U.S.-EU relationship is evolving. @POTUS President Trump has been clear that America must reorient its military focus, and Europe must step up and assume greater responsibility for its own defense. Our partnership must mature into something more balanced and ultimately reinforce our shared security and defense goals.
Great talking with @BBCWorld's @CaitrionaPerry
