It's time to go on the offensive about birthright citizenship. Congress has the broadest power under the Constitution to pass a statute and put an end to birthright citizenship.
Today Mark had Professor Erler who is an expert on the 14th amendment and who has the right to decide who becomes citizen. He maintains Congress has that authority. There is no basis in the constitution for birthright citizenship.
Hopefully people will listen to get an authoritative perspective. I'm not really interested in hearing opinions from people who won't take the time to listen.
It is very clear who gets to decide who becomes a citizen and it is not the Supreme Court.

This is not new, even Levin has said this for a decade.
Thanks Mark (for all that you do).
The details of how to repeal are irrelevant. IF something is created by man it can most certainly be altered, or eliminated by man. We see it happening before our very eyes.
The point is get ‘er done whatever it takes. It’s for the children.
Low Info voters: where’s the Cheetos?
From the Article:
” It is difficult to imagine that the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment intended to confer the boon of citizenship on the children of illegal aliens when they explicitly denied that boon to Indians who had been born in the United States.
Those who defy the laws of the U.S. should not be allowed to confer such an advantage on their children. This would not be visiting the sins of the parents on the children, as is often claimed, since the children of illegal aliens born in the U.S. would not be denied anything to which they otherwise would have a right. Their allegiance should follow that of their parents during their minority.
A nation that cannot determine who becomes citizens or believes that it must allow the children of those who defy its laws to become citizens is no longer a sovereign nation.
No one is advocating that those who have been granted birthright citizenship be stripped of their citizenship. Equal protection considerations would counsel that citizenship once granted is vested and cannot be revoked; this, I believe, is eminently just.”
Unless it's a government program. In that case, it can only grow.
Low Info Voter: yeah. And speaking of the Indians, that team name is raaaaaaaaaaaacist!
Listened...great segment.
It doesn’t need to be repealed. It isn’t in the U.S. Constitution or the Bill of Rights. It’s not there. It was created by a bunch of buffoons in black robes while they were hittin’ da happy smoke.
You have to get it past the GOPe first.
I need to see the caveats before I jump on this bandwagon.
I agree 100%, children born in the U.S to non-citizens are not citizens.
Children born to citizen parents?
Children born to citizen father, non-citizen mother?
Children born to citizen mother, non-citizen father?
Children born to citizen mother with no father known?
Children born to non-citizen mother with no father known?
Now replace “children born to” with “children born out of country to”. Ignore the gimmies.
President Trump will have a phone and a pen. That’s all he needs-— right? Scotus is a joke. They can’t read English. They can’t enforce anything !! Rock and roll!! It’s PAYBACK!!
Bwahahaha! Not under the Al Capone Administration it doesn't.
This kind of talk is downright stupid. It detracts from a solution to the real problem. That problem is the unrestrained and huge flow of illegal immigrants across the southern border. The solution is a big border fence.
But every word wasted in these futile and asinine attacks against birthright citizenship makes it less likely that the fence will ever get built.
Mark Levin will be on Hannity tonight (now) to discuss the anchor baby issue.
We can surly do both. Build a wall and pass legislation repealing birthright citizenship including a notation in the law of Jurisdiction Stripping denying the courts the ability to review the law.
When you wake up the morning of January 20, 2017 with President Trump lounging in America's figurative boudoir smoking a stogie, you and all his supporters will regret that little liaison. That strongman will bring tyranny to this country to make Barack Hussein Obama look like a piker. He will rule this country like Putin rides the Russian bear. Nothing will escape his grasp.
Well, I’m advocating “stripping” citizenship from those who have no right to it whatsoever, and I think a whole lot of other people feel the same way. What do they mean “no one” is advocating this?
Such wonderful fantasies!
