Birthright Citizenship: American Sovereignty Dangling By a Thread in the Supreme Court

Birthright Citizenship: American Sovereignty Dangling By a Thread in the Supreme Court | by Alan Wall | @ ThePostEmail.com

(Apr. 12, 2026) — The news is full of foreign policy crises, scandals, conflicts, and trends in all directions.

However, a current case before the U.S. Supreme Court tops it all.

It’s the birthright citizenship case, which determines the future of our nation and what sort of country it will be.

Does the U.S. have sovereignty to confer its own citizenship, or does anyone from any point on the globe have the right to take it from us? Are we an autonomous nation or a colony of the world?

Under current policy, any child born on U.S. soil to a foreign mother (regardless of her citizenship or legal status) becomes an American citizen for life.

A female illegal alien can cross the border and give birth to a child five minutes later. That baby is now a U.S. citizen, with the eventual right to vote and bring in more foreign relatives.

It’s not just illegal aliens — well-off foreigners come to the U.S. on tourist visas, birth offspring, then return home with dual citizens.

Decades later, that child can return and claim all the benefits of U.S. citizenship.

It’s insane and the policy must be abolished.

In Mexico, where I resided for many years, U.S. citizenship is seen as a valuable possession. … continue reading at: https://www.thepostemail.com/2026/04/12/birthright-citizenship-american-sovereignty-dangling-by-a-thread-in-the-supreme-court/

BORN IN THE USA: The Case Against Birthright Citizenship | by Dinesh D’Souza

The case against birthright citizenship seems straightforward and persuasive. Is it really right for an eight-month pregnant Mexican woman to illegally cross the Rio Grande, give birth, and be allowed to stay in America because her newborn child is now a natural born citizen? By the same token, is it just for a Chinese millionaire to have 100 children by surrogacy, arrange for them to be born in the US, and then move them back to China, where they are now US citizens and can later vote in US elections?

That’s crazy, right? And these are not hypothetical or imaginary horrors. They are going on, and they have been going on for some time. … continue reading at: https://dineshdsouza.substack.com/p/born-in-the-usa-the-case-against

The Trump v. Barbara Oral Arguments Fallout | by Joseph DeMaio

The Trump v. Barbara Oral Arguments Fallout | by Joseph DeMaio | @ ThePostEmail.com

*https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/argument_transcripts/2025/25-365_k536.pdf*

(Apr. 3, 2026) — Well, the oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara, the “birthright citizenship” case, are over and the matter is now under advisement with SCOTUS. Interested readers can view the transcript here.

And as usual, the armchair pontificators are busily at work tapping out their predictions on their keyboards…, not unlike your humble servant. And the fact that President Trump attended the event (although he left before it was over…, arguably not the wisest or most courteous move…, where is Susie Wiles when you need her…?) rendered it even more interesting.

Your servant has made his views known here as to what the constitutional and principled outcome should be. That outcome, of course, is not to be confused with what the actual outcome might be in the hyper-politicized and toxic/TDS-afflicted/anti-Trump Beltway swamp…, where, BTW, the U.S. Supreme Court is located.

Moreover, as previously noted by your servant here at The P&E, those who believe that the Supreme Court functions in an independent “deep, logical and rational cocoon,” unaffected by outside political or societal forces, are foolishly indulging in a controlled substance. … continue reading at: https://www.thepostemail.com/2026/04/03/the-trump-v-barbara-oral-arguments-fallout/
