The Supreme Court just got a front row seat to a key fight over America’s future, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. The Trump administration’s bold move to restore sanity to our broken border is under heavy fire from—no surprise—the liberal wing of the Court. At issue is whether we’re going to keep handing automatic citizenship to the children of anyone who slips across the border or flies in on a tourist visa, just because they happen to give birth on U.S. soil.
Predictably, the leftist justices are fully committed to keeping the floodgates open. They want to twist the Constitution into a pretzel, insisting that “subject to the jurisdiction” somehow means every single person present on American ground, even illegal aliens and birth tourists. It’s an insult to the intelligence of any honest American. But what’s truly shocking is seeing some so-called conservatives on the bench getting wobbly, peppering the Trump administration’s side with tough questions and acting nervous about drawing a clear line.
Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Kavanaugh even bent over backwards to poke holes in obvious arguments—splitting legal hairs and pretending we can’t differentiate between law-abiding citizens and people exploiting the system. Roberts fumbled over side issues like Chinese birth tourism, missing the real point entirely. Meanwhile, Kavanaugh got bogged down debating how two phrases from more than a century ago could possibly differ, as if the Founders didn’t intend actual loyalty and legal status to matter.
Justice Barrett and Justice Gorsuch both pressed the administration, too, suddenly worrying about “consequences” as if the real-world consequences haven’t already been a disaster. Does anyone think the current mess—where citizenship is a free prize for lawbreakers and tourists—reflects what our Founders wanted? America is not a hotel, and our citizenship is not a participation trophy.
Justice Alito, thankfully, seemed ready to defend the right side of history. But the fact is, this case is showing just how far some folks on the right are willing to bend for fear of media backlash. The left is counting on our timidity and confusion. If the Supreme Court can’t find the backbone to stand up for American citizenship, who will? We’re either a sovereign nation, or we’re just a doormat for every globalist grifter with a plane ticket.
The real question is this: when will the elites in Washington and on the Court stop playing games and actually put Americans first?
