Birthright Idiocy

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court dealt Donald Trump, his administration and the United States a huge blow when they upheld the concept of birthright citizenship – ruling that anybody who is born on US soil, even if it’s to an illegal alien, is automatically a US citizen. This ruling stems from the 14th amendment which was designed only to ensure that children of former slaves were citizens. Yet, the Supreme Court expanded the 14^th Amendment to grant citizenship to babies who are born in the United States to mothers who are foreigners and aliens, even though, on May 30, 1866, Senator Jacob Howard, who introduced the 14^th Amendment stated clearly on the Senate floor that, “this will not, of course, include persons born in the United States to foreigners, aliens…” So, they did not care what the original intent of the amendment was. They legislated from the bench.

In response to this ruling, we must deport every person here illegally. If citizenship is important as this decision indicates, then lack of citizenship should be equally important. If you are not a citizen and you are here illegally, you must be deported immediately, no questions asked. If being born in this country means you are a citizen, and being a citizen means you get to stay, then not being born in this country means you’re not a citizen, then you must go. There is no more, he has been here for 20 years, has a job and pays taxes, so he gets amnesty and can stay. No. He is not a citizen, he’s gone. Likewise, when it comes to voting, if you are a citizen, you get to vote. If you’re not a citizen, you don’t get to vote. That’s it.

This also applies to the parents and the siblings of the baby born here. Were they born in this country? No. They’re not citizens. They must go. There’s nothing in the 14th amendment that says the parents or the siblings of the baby born in this country get to be citizens. There is nothing in the 14^th Amendment that says that there is such thing as an anchor baby or chain migration. So, the illegal immigrant mother who has a baby on US soil, has one of two choices, take the baby with her to her country of origin and keep the family together or leave the baby here and we’ll put the baby in an orphanage or allow social services to raise the baby. The mother and the rest of the family does not get to stay.

The 14th amendment doesn’t say, ‘if you’re born in this country, your mother, father, brother, sister, aunt, uncle and grandparents who weren’t born in this country automatically gets citizenship.’ It doesn’t say that. Because what’s even more illogical than birthright citizenship, is anchor babies and chain migration. If the Supreme Court just declared that if where you are born determines citizenship, then if you were not born here, you are not a citizen. Get out. There are at least 30 million people who were not born in the United States, who are not naturalized citizens of the United States, who came into the United States in violation of our immigration laws, every single one of them are not citizens, and every single one of them must be deported.

The people who voted for this absolutely hate America and absolutely hate the citizenry who have made up the United States of America for the last 250 years. They despise that demographic group. And they want to erase that demographic group not only from this country but from the world. This is a generational genocide. The demographic group that built this country, and grew it into the greatest country on the planet, is targeted for erasure by people like those on the Supreme Court who voted for this. There’s no two ways around it.

The great Alexander Hamilton, the guy the leftist were all gaga over a few years ago because of the musical that people of color made of him, once said, “The influx of foreigners must, therefore, tend to change and corrupt the national spirit. To admit foreigners indiscriminately is to invite a Trojan horse into the citadel of our liberty and sovereignty.” We have been admitting foreigners indiscriminately into this country for decades, and with this ruling will continue to do so.

China does not allow this; Muslim countries do not allow this; there is not mass migration into China or the Middle East. They don’t worry about diversity. You can say that makes us better and more moral. Maybe. But when China or the Muslims take over this country, diversity will end. Just like it doesn’t exist in their countries, it will no longer exist in this country when they are running the show. So, allowing this absurdity in the name of diversity in America, will end diversity in America.

But this is not about diversity, it is about erasing the white race from this country and this planet. That is what they always mean by diversity – eliminate the white race. And when the white race is eliminated, the world will be a much worse place. How do I know? Where are all the best countries in the world? Europe and North America – the predominantly white countries. Don’t take my word for it, ask the refugees. When there are refugees from any country, where do they go? Europe, the United States or Canada. Refugees don’t go to the Middle East, they don’t go to Africa, they don’t go to China. They come to the predominantly white countries because the predominantly white countries are the best. And when there are no more white people, the world will be filled with dysfunctional countries or totalitarian countries, or both.

The left loves to tell us that black people built the United States, or Muslims are an integral part of the United States, or Central and South American immigrants are vital to the American economy. If all the illegal immigrants and refugees who are coming into this country are going to be so beneficial to this country, and they’re going to add so much to this country, the question is why aren’t they adding all that great value and benefit to their country of origin? Why haven’t they built their country of origin into anything worthwhile? Why are the countries of color so dysfunctional that people of color must come to white countries? Haiti is a hellhole. When Donald Trump said that, everybody on the left called him a racist. But now, when Trump is sending Haitian immigrants back to Haiti, the same people who called Trump a racist for saying that Haiti is a hell hole are claiming that Trump is punishing Haitians by sending them back to the great country of Haiti. Haiti is a hellhole country, but the United States does not benefit from bringing in dysfunctional people from a dysfunctional country.

This ruling is a threat to our country on multiple levels because ultimately, it comes down to loyalty to this country. Do we really want to grant citizenship to people whose loyalty are with another country? Democrat Congresswoman, Delia Ramirez who is an “anchor baby” has stated very clearly, “I am a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” That is what birthright citizenship produces. United States politicians who have more loyalty to another country over the United States.

One million Chinese communists will soon be voters because of birthright citizenship. The Chinese government pays surrogates to birth their babies in the United States, take them back to China where they are indoctrinated into Chinese communism, and when they are 18 years old, they return to the United States and vote for the most radical leftists. 1 million Chinese communists voting in our elections will determine Governor races, Senatorial races and the Presidency. So, President Xi of China will now have more power to determine who our President is, and therefore what our foreign and domestic policies are, than the average American taxpayer.

But the biggest problem we’re facing as a country is not necessarily birthright citizenship, or a liberal immigration policy, or the massive influx of refugees from Third World countries, it’s not even open borders and illegal immigration, the problem is our welfare state. If we would eliminate our welfare state, most of these problems that were arguing about would go away. 

These people who come here illegally, or come as refugees, or are born here to illegal immigrant parents, immediately go on the public dole. They get welfare; they get housing subsidies; they get SNAP; they get a free education; they get free healthcare. 81% of Somalis who are living in Minnesota are on public assistance. They could not survive in this country if they weren’t being subsidized by the government to stay here. That’s the issue. Many of these problems would go away if we did away with the welfare state. If all of these people who have come to the United States in the last 20 years were ineligible for welfare and public assistance, the overwhelming majority would go back to their home countries. They’re not smart enough, talented enough, skilled enough, hard-working enough to survive in the US economy. Most of them can only stay here with massive government assistance. Why is Mamdani freezing rent in New York City? 40% of New Yorkers were not born in the United States. These new immigrants don’t have the ability to earn the money necessary to live in New York, so we must blow up the real estate market in New York City to accommodate them.

We wonder why we are $39 trillion in debt as a country. It is driven by two things, fraud and the welfare state, and most of the fraud is being run through the welfare state as we saw in Minnesota. And who picks up the tab for the $39 trillion of debt and all of the welfare state expenditures? The United States citizens who have been here and whose families have been here for generations. They’re the ones who are paying for the newcomers to stay here because they’re the ones with jobs, they’re the ones who are paying taxes, they’re the ones who have never been on public assistance. They’re footing the bill.

Back in the 1970s, Milton Friedman the great economist once said, "It's just obvious you can't have free immigration and a welfare state." But that is exactly what we are doing.  The primary objection to all of these laissez-faire immigration policies, is that these people come here and they start draining the system. They don’t add to the system. The statistics are clear, immigrants from Third World countries have a negative impact on the United States. Immigrants from first world countries are a positive addition to the United States. The reason why the European immigration from the late 19^th century and early 20^th century was so successful was because there was no welfare state. You came here and you had to work and earn your way to survive. That is why those immigrants have been so successful and why their progeny continue to be, and our current massive welfare state is the reason why so many current immigrants and their offspring have been a negative drain on the country. The United States is the only country in the world with birthright citizenship, no voter ID and a massive welfare state. And that is the perfect storm which will absolutely destroy this once great country.
