News Explained: Birthright Controversy, Illegal immigration, the Southern Border Emergency

from Common Sense for America · host Bruce Rutherford

In this 3-part episode, Bruce reacts to national news headlines regarding Trump's executive orders at the southern border. We discuss border patrol, illegal immigration, and the designations of cartels and criminal networks as foreign terrorist organizations.  Lastly, we cover what seems to be one of the most controversial decisions made by president Donald J. Trump: his plan to end birthright citizenship.  Could there be justifiable rationale behind these choices, or are we undoing our nation's long-standing DNA and right for every man and woman to pursue happiness and self-reliance?
