Stopping the Sanctuaries

Sanctuary cities have vowed to protect illegal immigrants from deportation, but that will not stop the Trump administration from enforcing the nation’s immigration laws. ...

When President Donald Trump signed his executive order that ended birthright citizenship — the misguided legal theory that anyone born in the United States, even to an illegal alien, is a citizen — the communist-founded American Civil Liberties Union and a coalition of 22 blue states and Washington, D.C., sued him. Multiple federal judges, including one appointed by former President George W. Bush and another by President Ronald Reagan, agreed with the open-borders lawfare activists that anyone born here is a citizen. So even “conservative” judges blocked the order.

That case will almost certainly land in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, which might well decide against Trump to declare that the 14th Amendment, as the plaintiffs erroneously claim, does indeed confer citizenship on any human being born in the United States. But that frightening prospect aside — the millions of illegal aliens President Joe Biden unlawfully admitted to the nation would drop anchor babies as quickly as they could — Trump’s other executive orders are working, and working well. Trump declared a national emergency at the border. He blocked the entry of aliens until he decides that the illegal-alien invasion at the Southwest border, sponsored and subsidized by his predecessor, is over. He ordered the military to secure the border, and he declared that the drug cartels that operate there are terrorists. He temporarily halted refugee admissions.
