Thread: Bill O'Reilly Slams Efforts to Clarify Birthright Citizenship as Futile, Again

This evening, Bill O'Reilly (Fox News) took verbal stabs at those who believe that birthright citizenship does not apply to the children of illegal aliens. He slammed talk radio promoting the idea that it has been and is wrongly applied .

He had 2 guests, both pro his view.

1) David Rifkin, Reagan Dept. of Justice Official

2) John HOO, Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General

Mr. Rifkin actually stumped for Jeb Bush during his appearance.

Then he had Marco Rubio on as a guest to further his attempts to shame and name call those who want this farce of birthright citizenship to illegal alien children born in the United States to stop.

Bill O'Reilly is calling the American people opposed to birthright citizenship, "Nativist." He is saying this whole discussion is dangerous.

So he had a Jeb Bush supporter and Marco Rubio to shout down the American people.

I would have enjoyed a debate with Mark Levin on the following:

“Senator Jacob Howard, the author of the citizenship clause of the Fourteenth Amendment – he spoke – he told us what he meant. He defined who would fall within the ‘jurisdiction of the United States.’ Ready?

“‘Every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, [meaning the states – their jurisdiction] is, by virtue of natural law and national law, a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include 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 every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great issue in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country.’

(snip) Is it not plain English? Is he not as clear as can be, that it does not include aliens, it does not include foreigners, it does not include families or with ambassadors or foreign ministers?

“So, the author of the citizenship clause intended to count foreigners, aliens and those born to ambassadors, foreign ministers, as outside the jurisdiction of the United States. That’s Senator Jacob Howard. He knew, as his reference to natural law indicates that the republican basis for citizenship is consent – consent of the country.

“You can’t self-immigrate. You can’t claim jurisdiction because you happen to walk into the United States."
