Birthright Citizenship Will be Overturned. President Trump, Congress, and the Supreme Court will finally end this outrageous precedent. By Robert W Malone MD, MS (12/10/24)
Relevant Sections of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution
Section 1
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Section 5
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Dr. Malone clearly explains how the 14th Amendment, which gave citizenship to freed slaves, has been twisted to allow illegal immigrants to give birth in this country and create a “chain migration” of people who are not legal citizens of our country. (This includes Chinese who grow up as dual citizens of the US and China, but likely remain under the control of the Chinese communist government.)

Key points:
President Trump will sign an executive order to end birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens who are born in the USA at the end of January 2025.
Legacy media and some attorneys believe this action would violate the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment.
The key issue is the meaning persons born in the United States must be “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”
Masses of illegal aliens are crossing the border to bear “anchor babies” — children born in the United States to non-citizen parents — and then automatically gain U.S. citizenship due to birthright citizenship laws.
These babies often provide the legal anchor for the child’s guardians to stay in the United States and collect entitlements for the child.
Section 1 of the 14th amendment was ratified in 1868 to extend citizenship to freed slaves and their children. It was never meant to apply to the children of people in this country illegally.
Hans A. von Spakovsky, legal scholar at the Heritage Foundation, wrote an excellent article on the 14th amendment in 2018. In part, it reads:
Critics erroneously believe that anyone present in the United States has “subjected” himself “to the jurisdiction” of the United States, which would extend citizenship to the children of tourists, diplomats, and illegal aliens alike.
But that is not what that qualifying phrase means. Its original meaning refers to the political allegiance of an individual and the jurisdiction that a foreign government has over that individual.
…the 1866 Civil Rights Act…provided that “[a]ll persons born in the United States, and not subject to any foreign power” would be considered citizens.
Sen. Lyman Trumbull, a key figure in the adoption of the 14th Amendment, said that “subject to the jurisdiction” of the U.S. included not owing allegiance to any other country.
Republican legal scholars argue that “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” should exclude the children of illegal aliens from the protections. This interpretation can be applied (with a simple majority vote of Congress) via Section 5 of the 14th Amendment: "The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
The Supreme Court likely will make the final determination after the inevitable court challenges. (ED NOTE: Because of court challenges, please do not hold your breath waiting for change, but be encouraged that change can happen.)
Most Americans favor controlled LEGAL immigration, but not ILLEGAL immigration, especially with the purpose of creating birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants.
