The Supreme Court is hearing its first Trump-era case of his second presidency.
It involves President Trump’s executive order to strip birthright citizenship.
That means children of illegal or temporary residents. Because two illegals don’t produce a legal citizen. That’s simple math.
Leftist groups, immigrants, and several states sued immediately to block the order. Won’t they be surprised when it it’s passed.
Anchor babies are going to be a thing of the past.
Breitbart reports:
The Supreme Court is hearing its first set of Trump-related arguments in the second Trump presidency. The case stems from the executive order President Donald Trump issued on his first day in office that would deny citizenship to children born on U.S. soil to parents who are in the country illegally or temporarily. The executive order marks a major change to the provision of the 14th Amendment that grants citizenship to people born in the United States, with just a couple of exceptions.
Immigrants, rights groups and states sued almost immediately to challenge the executive order. Federal judges have uniformly cast doubt on Trump’s reading of the Citizenship Clause. Three judges have blocked the order from taking effect anywhere in the U.S., including U.S. District Judge John Coughenour. “I’ve been on the bench for over four decades. I can’t remember another case where the question presented was as clear as this one is. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order,” Coughenour said at a hearing in his Seattle courtroom.
The Supreme Court is taking up emergency appeals filed by the Trump administration asking to be able to enforce the executive order in most of the country, at least while lawsuits over the order proceed. The constitutionality of the order is not before the court just yet. Instead, the justices are looking at potentially limiting the authority of individual judges to issue rulings that apply throughout the United States. These are known as nationwide, or universal, injunctions.

Justice Kavanaugh pressed Sauer with a series of questions about exactly how the federal government might enforce Trump’s order.
“What do hospitals do with a newborn? What do states do with a newborn?” he said. Sauer said they wouldn’t necessarily do anything different, but the government might figure out ways to reject documentation with “the wrong designation of citizenship.”
Kavanaugh continued to press for clearer answers, pointing out that the executive order only gave the government about 30 days to develop a policy. “You think they can get it together in time?” he said.
Justice Brown Jackson appeared deeply skeptical of Sauer’s argument.
“Your argument seems to turn our justice system, in my view at least, into a catch me if you can kind of regime … where everybody has to have a lawyer and file a lawsuit in order for the government to stop violating people’s rights,” she said to Sauer.

Why is this even a debate? The fact that they’re fighting against Trump on this should tell us all we need to know.
So far, the Supreme Court arguments about anchor babies is focusing mostly on the Trump administration’s request to end universal injunctions by low-level courts. Justice Thomas injects a helpful reality check:

I wonder if they’ll talk about the Chinese maternity houses?

MADNESS: C-SPAN caller exposes “Chinese maternity houses” where the Chinese take advantage of our Birthright Citizenship.
TODAY the Supreme Court is taking up arguments to maintain or overturn birthright citizenship for illegals.
“They’re houses where the Chinese government takes citizens that, when they’re in their seventh or eighth month (of pregnancy), they ship them here for a month. They let them have their children. And then once they have their children, they take them back to China when now they’re US citizens.”
“But they’re raised in China. They’re loyal to China. We know they’re doing it, but they’re still getting away with it.”
OVERTURN IT! The Supreme Court must be bold on this issue.
