Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) announced on Tuesday that he plans to introduce legislation ending birthright citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants on American soil, citing it as a “magnet for illegal immigration.”

President Donald J. Trump announced on Tuesday that he plans to draft an executive order to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants born in America.
Trump told Axios’ Jonathan Swan:

But now they’re saying I can do it with just an executive order. Now, how ridiculous–we are the only country in the world where a person comes in, has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States for 85 years with all of those benefits? It’s ridiculous. It’s ridiculous–and it has to end.

Sen. Graham cheered Trump’s move against birthright citizenship, citing it as a significant “magnet” for illegal immigration.

“Finally, a president willing to take on this absurd policy of birthright citizenship,” Graham said in a statement. “I’ve always supported comprehensive immigration reform – and at the same time – the elimination of birthright citizenship.”

Graham continued explaining that birthright citizenship is a foreign concept in most modern countries.

The South Carolina Republican said, “The United States is one of two developed countries in the world who grant citizenship based on location of birth. This policy is a magnet for illegal immigration, out of the mainstream of the developed world, and needs to come to an end.”

Eliminating birthright citizenship would prevent children born of illegal aliens would not receive citizenship status and would likely deter the practice of foreigners having “anchor babies” where immigrants plan to give birth to children on American soil to obtain citizenship for their children.

The anchor baby population has skyrocketed in recent years. One Congressional Budget Office (CBO) study found that the anchor baby population per year exceeds the number of American citizens births from American citizens.

To enshrine Trump’s executive order into law, Graham said that he plans to draft legislation to codify the president’s changes to birthright citizenship.

Graham said, “In addition, I plan to introduce legislation along the same lines as the proposed executive order from President Trump.”

I think the space aliens have taken Lindsey Graham and replaced him! This can't be the same person who was part of the Gang of 8 several years ago!

He's free of McCain now, and finding that Trump World is much better than he saw through his McCain-colored glasses.

Whatever it is, it's a positive for Lindsey.

About fell off my chair when I read this. It's a winning issue for Republicans imo, to go after illegal immigration. Evidently Sen. Graham has come to realize that too. It was one of the main reasons Trump was elected after all. People of both parties want this to end. It's the politicians that usual fail (probably due to their rich donors) and seem to want things to stay as they are. May get interesting....

I smell a big fat rat! If sellout Gang of Eight illegal alien cheerleader Sen. Lindsey Graham is pushing this bill there is definitely something rotten in Denmark.

There is no reason any of us should think that Sen. Graham is suddenly the hero of American citizens fighting to turn back the illegal alien invasion and overthrow of America.

Don't forget this is Mr. LaRaza for the US Senate.
