Ep 359 | The History Lesson the Political Establishment Won't Give You on Birthright Citizenship
from Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz · host Blaze Podcast Network
Today, I continue the theme of how so many “conservatives” you see on TV have accepted foundational premises of the Left on key issues. Nowhere is this more evident than with birthright citizenship. I offer a unique history lesson explaining exactly what our Founders meant by “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” and a wild fact about Chester Arthur. I also show how too many conservative legal scholars are making a mistake by adding on to fundamental rights rather than confining them to where they belong. Finally, I delve into some new crime and border stats to demonstrate the point that our political leaders need to focus on trends and not downplay their significance until things get worse. Show links The case of the jihadi bride and government’s failure to protect our citizenship In NYC, 55% increase in murder, 21% increase in rape so fare this year Ron DeSantis fighting for E-Verify where Trump wont touch it Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.
