Stephen Miller: Trump Exploring ‘All Legal Options’ to End ‘Crazy’ Anchor Baby Policy
Last week, Trump told the media is he “very seriously” looking at signing an executive order that will end birthright citizenship in the U.S., calling the policy “frankly ridiculous.”
During an interview with Fox News’ John Roberts, Miller said the White House is, in fact, reviewing “all legal options” to end birthright citizenship where an average of about 300,000 U.S.-born children of illegal aliens — often referred to as “anchor babies” — are born every year. According to the Fox News interview:
ROBERTS: The president indicated this the other day when he was leaving to get on Marine One. He said that he is looking at birthright citizenship — which is enshrined in the 14th Amendment. What are the plans for that? [Emphasis added]
MILLER: Well, I noticed that you worked in that it is “enshrined into the 14th Amendment.” Many constitutional scholars would wholeheartedly disagree with that. Most Americans think it is crazy that you can come across the border perhaps in your ninth month of pregnancy… [Emphasis added]
ROBERTS: That’s the argument, what do you plan to do about it?
MILLER: Well, we’re looking at all legal options. But I think the key point I want to leave you with today … is that many legal scholars believe that the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” makes clear it does not apply to people here on a temporary basis or here illegally. And so the point would be then, what can we as a government do to execute the president’s obligation to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” The Constitution, being the supreme law of the land, and so what is the correct interpretation of the 14th Amendment. That’s something we have to look at. [Emphasis added]
ROBERTS: So when do you plan to do this?
MILLER: I don’t have any news to make on that today, but I want to leave you with this: For years, Americans had politicians of both parties come and go and surrender their interests to foreign countries and foreign powers. This president, alone, has stood up and protected Americans’ interests, whether it is on trade, on immigration, or foreign policy. He’s ended decades of debacles to put the interests of U.S. citizens first and we should all celebrate that. [Emphasis added]Miller’s statement comes nearly a year after Trump first promised that he was readying an executive order to end birthright citizenship, but the issue has been stalled since October 2018. To date, the U.S. Supreme Court has never explicitly ruled that the children of illegal aliens must be granted birthright citizenship, and many legal scholars...
ILLEGAL ALIEN CHARGED WITH RAPE AND ATTEMPTED MURDER IN MARYLAND ‘SANCTUARY COUNTY’
Kevin Mendoza, 26, is charged with first-degree rape, attempted second-degree murder, and first-degree assault.
Montgomery County Police say the victim suffered multiple injuries during the attack. Doctors told them the severity of her strangulation alone could have resulted in her death.
Shortly before midnight on Aug. 16, the victim was walking through the apartment parking lot carrying items from her car when she noticed Mendoza following her. As the woman tried to unlock the door to the apartment building — located along the 8500 block of 16th Street — Mendoza allegedly grabbed her from behind and threw her to the ground.
When the woman tried to yell, police sayMendoza strangled her with his hands… nearly to the point of unconsciousness. When the woman tried to escape, Mendoza allegedly...
Trump Tariffs Tank Asian Equities, Chinese Yuan. China Ready To Negotiate.
President Donald Trump's latest trade war escalation against China appears to have had an immediate effect on Asian markets and the Chinese Yuan, sending both tumbling early on Monday morning.
"China's yuan currency fell to 7.1487 to the dollar, its weakest level since early 2008 at the height of the global financial crisis," AFP reported. "On equity markets, Hong Kong led losses, slumping more than three percent, with investors also spooked by fresh violent protests in the city that saw police use water cannon for the first time. Shanghai lost 1.3 percent and Tokyo ended the morning more than two percent off."
Chinese Vice Premier Liu He indicated early on Monday that the communist nation was willing to negotiate with the U.S. to prevent the trade war from escalating.
Reuters reported that "Liu, China’s top trade negotiator, was speaking at a tech conference in Chongqing in southwest China" when he made the remarks.
On Friday, the U.S. imposed a new round of sanctions against China after China imposed additional tariffs on the U.S.
In a statement on Friday, the Office of the United States Trade Representative announced:
Today, China announced it will impose unjustified tariffs targeting U.S. products. In response to China’s decision, and in order to achieve the objectives of the China Section 301 investigation, President Trump has instructed the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to increase by 5% the tariffs on approximately $550 billion worth of Chinese imports. For the 25% tariffs on approximately $250 billion worth of Chinese imports, USTR will begin the process of increasing the tariff rate to 30%, effective October 1 following a notice and comment period. For the 10% tariffs on approximately $300 billion worth of Chinese imports that the President announced earlier this month, the tariffs will now be 15%, effective on the already scheduled dates for tariff increases on these imports.
Trump instructed U.S. businesses on Friday to start looking for alternatives to dealing with Chinese businesses.
"Our Country has lost, stupidly, Trillions of Dollars with China over many years. They have stolen our Intellectual Property at a rate of Hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year, & they want to continue," Trump tweeted. "I won't let that happen! We don't need China and, frankly, would be far better off without them. The vast amounts of money made and stolen by China from the United States, year after year, for decades, will and must STOP. Our great American companies are hereby ordered to...
President Trump Praises Appointment of Special Prosecutor in Jussie Smollett Hate Hoax Case
President Donald Trump commended an Illinois judge’s appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate improprieties surrounding Jussie Smollett’s court case.
Dan Webb, a prominent Chicago defense attorney with significant experience serving as a special prosecutor, will investigate the justice system’s handling of Smollett’s court case. Smollett was charged with 16 counts of disorderly conduct after Chicago police became convinced he orchestrated an elaborate hate hoax to make himself appear as a victim of a racist attack.
Smollett actually paid two Nigerian brothers(who have since admitted to their involvement in the hoax) $3,500 to play the role of racist Trump supporters in carrying out a fake “attack” on him.
The 16 criminal charges of disorderly conduct were inexplicably dropped by Chicago prosecutors without any real explanation, leaving law enforcement furious that the hoaxster wouldn’t be held accountable for his...

Immigration Expert: Government Program Incentivizes Employers to Discriminate Against Citizen College Grads
North also said at the panel discussion, hosted by CIS, that millions of dollars a year is diverted from helping Americans to benefiting F-1 student visa holders and the American companies that hire them.
The students, North said, get to work for one year or more at an American business, and the business that hires them gets a discount under the Optional Practical Training (OPT) protocol that allows them not to pay certain payroll taxes for their non-immigrant, non-citizen employees.
“You shouldn’t take money from America’s elderly, give it to fat cat corporations so that they can discriminate against Americans,” North said. “I don’t think that’s a very good idea.”
Colleges and universities are also eager to accept foreign students because of the money their enrollment brings in, both as students and alumni.
At any given time, experts estimate that more than one million students from foreign countries are studying in the United States.
North wrote about OTP for CIS in 2015:
The program that converts foreign college graduates back to foreign students by a wave of a bureaucratic wand had these negative impacts on residents of the United States:
• It denied American workers more than 430,000 jobs during the years 2009-2013; and
• It removed $4 billion from the Social Security and Medicare trust funds.
In 2017, CIS explained how OPT works in reality:
OPT is an example of the administrative state run amok. Instead of law coming from Congress, we have law coming from bureaucrats working hand-in-hand with lobbyists. OPT also illustrates the slippery-slope problem of regulation. Work on student visas started innocently as an integral part of a course of study to give foreign students an experience not available in their home country, but eventually was transformed into a full-blown guestworker program whose stated purpose is to...
