Charlie Kirk (4:50)
We control Congress, and we should not let Republicans off the hook. What are they doing all day long? Hello, Congress. Get off your tail. Fix this. Enough hearings and enough showboating. Pass a bill right now fixing the circuit and district court system. I don't know if you need to break the filibuster for that. It's a very interesting question. The purpose of the 14th Amendment at the time was passed was to deal with the matter of freed slaves. And this all goes back to the core question of now birthright citizenship. So there's two things. First, we're talking about nationwide injunctions. Secondly, we're talking about birthright citizenship because the question of birthright citizenship is arguably a question of if America gets to be a country. The amendment made it clear that freed slaves and their children were, were full US Citizens. America would not be a country with a permanent underclass of people denied citizenship. That was a good thing. We support that. But in the 160 year since this amendment, it has been exploited by the left, of course, for a far more pernicious purpose. The left will tell you that the Supreme Court ruled definitively more than a century ago that that all people born in America, including those born to tourists and illegal immigrants, are citizens. The case in question was called the Wong Kim Ark case. Wong Kim Ark was a man born to non citizen Chinese immigrants who had to settle in the United States. The court ruled that Ark, being born in America, was a citizen. But here's the distinction. And the left has a they think they have this one all dead to rights. And they're wrong. Wong Kim's parents were legal US Residents. Nobody disputed that. They weren't criminals who had just broken into the country. They weren't tourists who simply flew to Guam from China for five days so they could have a baby and give them a US Passport. You see, the question is, do non US Citizens get the children of non US Citizens and criminals get US Citizenship? Currently, the answer is yes. And this is President Trump's phenomenal moral courage. He is asking the question, while we still control the U.S. supreme Court. You understand that people will board flights eight months pregnant from Beijing, fly into San francisco for a 60 day vacation, go to a local San Francisco hospital, give birth, and that is called birth tourism. Did you know that last year there were 225,000 babies born to illegal immigrants? That's more than babies born in all but two US states taken individually. So nearly 250,000 people are becoming US citizens for no good reason whatsoever. Do you know we're one of the few countries in the industrialized world that actually has this practice? France, New Zealand and Australia have all abandoned birthright citizenship in the past few decades. Ireland was the last country in the European Union to follow the practice, ending it in 2005. Framers of the 14th amendment. And one of the biggest pushers of the 14th amendment was a man by the name of Lyman Trumbull. Senator Lyman Trumbull, considered the driving force behind the amendment, specifically stated that at the time that the citizenship clause does not encompass individuals still owing allegiance to any other country. So the Designer of the 14th Amendment in the US Constitution said that this should not apply to the children of illegal aliens or other of temporary tourists. Two Supreme Court cases have uphold upheld that the 14th Amendment excludes citizens of foreign countries, the slaughterhouse case in 1872 and Elk v. Wilkins in 1884. This is a loophole that no one has had the courage to actually challenge and the left thinks that this oh, there's no way that it applies that. No, no, no, no. There's a lot more to this than you might realize. You it's going to require though, a little bit of intestinal fortitude from either John Roberts or Amy Coney Barrett. So if there's someone to pray for, pray for either John Roberts or Amy Coney Barrett to go with Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Alito and Thomas. American Indians and their children did not become citizens until 1924 with the passage of the Indian Citizenship act despite being born on American soil. So why would they need this law if simply being born within the US Automatically granted someone citizenship? Birthright proponents like to point to the 1898 Supreme Court case United States v. Wang, but conveniently forget that even then the children's Chinese parents, as I said, were here legally, lawfully and permanently. This right here would be a major victory for the country and is a question whether or not we are still a country. It is insane that you could stop in Guam for a week, have a baby and that baby is handed a US Passport. That dilutes the idea of what a country is and I pray the Supreme Court will rule accordingly.

This is a C Span caller who drops a truth bomb about how Chinese women are flown to America and they get citizenship for their babies and then return to China and raise them loyal to the Chinese Communist Party. All the while that baby has a US Passport and can come into our country at any time and infiltrate the nation. This is a national security threat. Not only is this morally wrong, is it constitutionally wrong, is it culturally wrong. This is a threat to our US national security. So a baby gets a US Passport, goes back and becomes a loyal operative of the Chinese Communist Party, can then come to our country at any time. Not on a student visa. That is a US Citizen, not a permanent resident. They can vote. And as a sleeper cell to the United States of America. And again, France doesn't allow this. Ireland doesn't allow this. No other country allows you to do this except America. It's an outrageous relic of left wing activism. Let's play cut 394. I'd like to know if your guest knows what a Chinese maternity house is. There are houses where the Chinese government takes citizens that when they're in their seventh or eighth month, 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 where 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. Chinese maternity houses. And no one is questioning it. No one is saying, hey, you know, this is probably a bad idea. Right now there are protests outside the US Supreme Court calling President Trump a racist for doing this. President Trump is racist because he signed an executive order. Your R word doesn't mean anything to us anymore. We roll our eyes, we shrug our shoulders. He's commander in chief, protecting our country. But even beyond the national security aspect, which is massive, by the way, I want you to think about that. Let me just go one step further. Could you imagine if you're like a Iranian terrorist and you want to be able to get a future terrorist US Passport? Just think about how many sleeper cells have US Passports now. Because of this. And we know why the left wants it. They want it as a way to make the illegals un deportable. They want to be able to change the body politic of the country. It's very simple. The Democrat party and the left cannot win popular opinion because the people are sovereign. So then you change the people. It's not simple. You just change the body politic. You change the material of what is the sovereign. You dilute the influence of native born Americans. You bring in a bunch of people from around the world and give them US passports. You want a passport and you get a passport, or you have a baby and you get a passport. The other element of this, which of course is less talked about, is that if birthright citizenship gets struck down, the incentive, the incentive to then break into this country goes down dramatically. The incentive to overstay your visa goes down dramatically because then your kid doesn't get a special award reward for you breaking the law. So this is the right thing on multiple different levels. And it's not as if, as if we're thinking about something radical the rest of the world is not doing. The rest of the world is laughing at us that you can come here with a bunch of money on a first class fight flight totally pregnant, have a baby and boom. And then even beyond that, you can break into America without warrant or invitation. You could border jump and, and cut in line, not be here. And in violation of 8 USC 1312, which requires you to tell the government where you are, why you're there, and to notify the government of your movement. So you're violating the law, you are a felon on a daily basis. 8 USC 1312. And then even though you are a felon, you can have a baby. And that baby then becomes what President Trump aptly put it. We should get that piece of tape, by the way, because he said it so beautifully back in 2015 and he was attacked. Remember what he said. Remember what President Trump said? He hasn't used this term in a long time. Anchor baby. It's exactly what it is. We gotta get rid of anchor babies. And I do have to put one more final point. I think it's very important. This is how much the conservative movement has changed over 10 years for the better. 10 years ago it was incomprehensible to say that we should get rid of birthright citizenship. People would scour in the D.C. republican elite. Oh, don't say that. They'll call you a racist. I remember 10 years ago when Trump brought it up, I was only three years into this, I was 21 years old. I did not even have thick enough skin for this. The Overton window has returned back to common sense and decency. And President Trump deserves enormous and repeated and public thanks for that. Because 10 years ago, it was like Ann Coulter. That's it. She was like the only one that was talking about getting rid of birthright citizenship. Now it's at the U.S. supreme Court, potentially, possibly, hopefully, prayerfully being repealed. Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
