TO MY GREAT FELLOW AMERICANS…

[Will Chamberlain @willchamberlain]

The silver lining of the birthright citizenship issue is this:

On the constitutional issue, we got 4 votes. When Trump’s EO came out, conventional wisdom was we’d be lucky to get one vote, that it was obviously unconstitutional.

And it’s not just the vote count - it’s the quality of the opinions. CJR’s opinion sucks. It has no good account for why the already recognized exceptions to birthright citizenship are a closed set other than “well, that’s just the way it is.” That theory didn’t just lose Alito and Thomas; it lost Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, too.

So then the question is: is this the kind of precedent that will stick? What force will stare decisis have? My answer here is: not much. The only people who can claim to be “relying” on this decision are temporary visitors, Chinese spies, and illegal aliens - people who have no inherent right to be in the country in the first instance.

In the interim, we obviously need to go full bore on mass deportation. If we do that, and hold on to power, we will be able to get this fixed - not with a Constitutional Amendment, but with a better Court, that will do to Trump v. Barbara what this Court did to Roe.

Our current system of government has no remedy for the foreign hordes conquering our country.

It’s entirely up to civilians.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Why are you berating a Supreme Court Justice to leak legal decisions to you? This may be the most retarded ambush attempt I’ve ever seen. You should be embarrassed.

[Chip Roy @chiproytx]

BREAKING: The Supreme Court - led by Chief Justice Roberts - failed the American people, the Constitution, and the rule of law today - not to mention endangering the national security of the United Statres. The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in no way stands for the proposition that we must permit a dangerous cottage industry of traveling to our soil to manufacture United States citizenship. That's insane. The Court today should have said so explicitly and ended this damaging exploitation of our laws. Congress must now immediately do at least two things it should have done long ago. First, define the phrase ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof’ very specifically to make clear that citizenship is tied to the citizenship of the parent, not the soil. Second, completely restrict funding from DHS or any other agency or state that provides documentation and status to anyone not subject to the ‘jurisdiction thereof.’ In other words, Congress must act immediately and must not hide behind the fiction that it must amend the Constitution to fix this abuse of our laws. To do otherwise would be an abject failure of the United States Congress.

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

The Supreme Court's ruling on birthright citizenship is a legal abomination. But it's just more evidence that Congress and multiple presidents, in abdicating their duty on immigration for decades, have screwed America irredeemably. We're going live now:

Justice Thomas: "The Citizenship Clause added greatly to the dignity and glory of American citizenship. Today's opinion devalues that citizenship."

[Byron Donalds @ByronDonalds]

A terrible ruling from the Supreme Court.

President Trump is right — birthright citizenship has been abused beyond recognition.

We must fight for an immigration system that puts the American people first, and promotes assimilation and security.

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court rules to Uphold Birthright Citizenship for children of illegal aliens.

Justices Barrett and Roberts sided with the liberals.

Americans were betrayed again.

[Dana Loesch @DLoesch]

Now one of the most disastrous decisions in history.

[Dan Bongino @dbongino]

It’s way past time for a constitutional amendment.

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

This is what Zohran Mamdani’s wife celebrated.

[AG @AGHamilton29]

DSA is full of legitimate left-wing lunatics and extremists. Their goal is absolutely communism.

Reporters should tell the truth about it, not try to cover for them.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

The worst Supreme Court Justices of all time have all been women. That’s just a fact. Republican presidents should take the hint.

[Tim Pool @Timcast]

invaders, pirates, and barbarians

These people are evil and must not be permitted to pillage our home

[Congressman Brandon Gill @RepBrandonGill]

If an illegal alien crosses our border and has a child, most Americans agree that child should not be an American citizen.

Birthright citizenship was never meant for people who had no right to be here in the first place.

[Bonchie @bonchieredstate]

They are willing to kill people to keep up this delusion that they can one day control the weather.

[Oilfield Rando @Oilfield_Rando]

The Supreme Court’s insane ruling just reaffirms that lethal force MUST be employed to secure the borders.

[Katie Pavlich @KatiePavlich]

Yep.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: "It's not Socialism—it's really Communism. They use the words 'Social Democrat' because it sounds so nice, but it's really Communism you're talking about. I think it's the biggest threat to our nation there is, maybe since our founding."

[Andrew Kolvet @AndrewKolvet]

CK on birthright citizenship sounds a lot like Clarence Thomas:

"If you think you can just get on a Delta Airlines flight from Paris and all of a sudden your kid becomes a U.S. citizen, that devalues the meaning of what it is to be a citizen... It's not our job to open up our borders to every sad story around the place..."

"The point being is this and President Trump's executive order is phenomenal. It goes back to this very basic question what does it mean to be a citizen? And we're throwing around citizenship like Frisbees every day. You're a citizen. You're a citizen. You're a citizen. And it dilutes the meaning of the citizen, of what it means to be a U.S. citizen. We need to bring it back to actually say, hey, you have to earn your citizenship. You are not given your citizenship."
