Paxton emphasizes that America prioritizes its citizens and seeks to prevent illegal immigration schemes that threaten national security. The article critiques the Supreme Court&#8217;s recent decision to reject interpretations of birthright citizenship as outlined in the 14th Amendment,arguing that the original intent excluded certain groups,such as foreign nationals and native Americans,from automatic citizenship at birth. Despite federal rulings,some states like Texas have enacted laws (e.g., Senate Bill 4) and executive orders to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/40000-illegal-immigrants-caught-on-protected-borderland-this-year-forest-service-says\/\" title=\"Forest Service reports 40,000 illegal immigrants apprehended on protected borderland this year.\">combat illegal entry<\/a> and birth tourism, demonstrating a proactive approach in enforcing immigration laws at the state level. The piece also touches on political debates surrounding birthright citizenship and the tension between federal and state authority on immigration issues.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>They didn\u2019t break through the fence.

Rules on Trump Cases Purely on Personal Ideology\">recent birthright citizenship decision<\/a>. The court struck down President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order commanding federal agencies to only recognize citizenship for children of legal residents.<\/p>\n<p>To be exceedingly clear: The Supreme Court was wrong. Completely.<\/p>\n<p>When he proposed the Citizenship Clause to the 14th Amendment, Sen. Jacob Howard specifically said that it would not \u201cinclude persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include all other persons born in the United States who are subject to its laws.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He later noted that Native Americans born in the U.S. wouldn\u2019t be given citizenship either because they are \u201c<em>quasi<\/em> foreign nations\u201d \u2014 even the Native Americans in compounds under U.S. rule.<\/p>\n<p>According to the drafter of the Citizenship Clause, jurisdiction is more than legal authority.<\/p>\n<p>Howard argued that allegiance to any government other than that of the United States removes from your children the possibility of birthright citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>But the Supreme Court rejected the author\u2019s interpretation of the Citizenship Clause.<\/p>\n<p>This decision brought disappointment to many conservative voters. Many sided with President Trump when he said in a  <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116732049110199246\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">post<\/a>, \u201cThe United States of America cannot live with the shackles of Birthright Citizenship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Putting the Supreme Court\u2019s disappointing decision aside, even if the Court is going to prevent Trump from carrying out the popular mandate, state actors have proven themselves capable of fulfilling the voter\u2019s wishes, at least to some extent.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/capitol.texas.gov\/tlodocs\/85R\/analysis\/html\/SB00004I.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Senate Bill 4<\/a> in Texas makes state-level illegal entry a crime. This classification empowers state officials to arrest individuals and deport them for entering unlawfully.<\/p>\n<p>Similar bills have been passed in Iowa, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arizona, and Tennessee. These states are now able to enforce the nation\u2019s borders, even if the federal government is being limited.<\/p>\n<p>Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott issued an <a href=\"https:\/\/gov.texas.gov\/news\/post\/governor-abbott-issues-executive-order-cracking-down-on-birth-tourism-schemes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">executive order<\/a> that directs state agencies to investigate and eliminate these unlawful birth tourism schemes in Texas. This order also brings to justice any licensed healthcare provider that helps facilitate the invasion.<\/p>\n<p>This is federalism in its finest form. May state officials continue to push forward even as the Supreme Court falls short.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
