Birthright Citizenship: Debunking the Myths

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, amid numerous threats from abroad and pressing domestic issues, it’s outrageous that the media is fixated on Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant, documented wife-beater, and alleged MS-13 gang member.  Garcia has been ruled deportable by immigration courts and the Department of Homeland Security due to his gang ties and illegal status. Despite clear evidence, the media ignores his criminality, and Democrats defend him. The ruling class protects Garcia while criticizing President Trump, yet it ignores Biden’s defiance of Supreme Court orders on student loans. Also, the 14th Amendment does not provide for birthright citizenship, contrary to media claims, and its authors never intended it to include such a right. At no time did the authors of the 14th Amendment ever mention birthright citizenship. For 40 years AFTER the ratification of the 14th Amendment no court had ruled, and no Congress had argued that there was something called birthright citizenship. Later, the Capital Research Center's report, "When Charities Betray America," examines how certain "pro-Palestinian" groups, specifically Within Our Lifetime (WOL), Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), and Code Pink, have increasingly promoted anti-American and anti-police rhetoric since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel. Analyzing thousands of social media posts, the study found a 3,000% surge in calls for violence and a 186% increase in anti-American and anti-police keywords among 496 groups and activists, many tied to nonprofits or charities. Finally, Jim Trusty calls in to explain that the DOJ’s decision to seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, which raises complex legal issues, including federal jurisdiction over a traditionally state-handled crime.
