Levin makes it very clear about Birthright Citizenship. Jurisdiction is the key element.

Another win is coming soon when the SCOTUS lets everyone know the real truth which is "there is no Constitutional basis for universal birthright citizenship to legal immigrants or illegal immigrants in the Constitution itself."

DUH!!

This is why a simple solution to this is for Congress to exclude illegals from jurisdiction for the purposes of birthright citizenship by statute.

Levin has been on this issue for decades and he should be appointed special assistant AG or special assistant Solicitor General to help with the arguments at SCOTUS. He would be an incredible asset.

The elimination of the National Origins Quota System in 1965, which had been in place since 1921, started the engine to the vehicle that got us here today. They replaced it with the Immigration Act of 1965.

Assimilation is what is needed again. Allegiance to the USA is a given or one can get the hell out!!

SFP will be here shortly to tell you why Mark Levin is wrong and he is right. And will cite Wong Kim Ark case incorrectly 5,000 times.

Not by much. Someone would have done it, in any case.

There is no way the court will side with the EO. I hope I’m wrong, but I seriously doubt it.

This is why the people saying that this is a pointless exercise are wrong. Will Trump win this? I don't know. But plenty of very knowledgeable people believe it has a chance.

Our cowardly SCOTUS will duck the case just as it did w/ Tx v Pa.

Why? It's pretty clear. Any person here illegally is still under the jurisdiction of their country of origin.

Good segment by Levin right there. SFP will disagree citing WKA.

WKA



One Wong does not make a right.

Proponents of birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants who say that the Wong Kim Ark ruling has settled the issue conveniently ignore the fact that Wong’s parents were domiciled residents and thus were in the United States legally.

They didn't duck Dobbs, which was a case with HUGE social implications. I think the birthright citizenship issue will be one the USSC takes a look at again given the context in which the controversy arises....people illegally entering the country and seeking to remain based upon the position their child born in the US should automatically be a citizen.

Making it across the border by hook or crook and squirting out a kid is not the basis of citizenship policy. It’s ridiculous on its surface.

The senator from Michigan who put the clause "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" in the 14th Amendment said in speeches he gave later that it did not apply to people who are illegally in the U.S. Other politicians during that time did the same.

It is an absurd proposition on it’s face. Historically and near universally, citizenship has primarily been determined by the citizenship of an individual’s parents or their parent’s country of birth, not the location where the mother gives birth to a child.

This is exemplified by the fact that children born to American citizens while they are abroad are not granted citizenship in the nation of their birth. Indeed, throughout nations across the globe, a child born to foreign nationals is considered a foreign national themselves: the few exceptions reinforce the rule.
