'Congratulations President Xi': 7 reactions to Supreme Court's birthright citizenship decision

5. Stephen Miller

In an appearance on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” Tuesday, White House Homeland Security Adviser Stephen Miller described Trump v. Barbara as “a deep knife wound in the heart of the American republic.”

He lamented the implications of the decision, expressing concern about “people from all over the world” continuing to have the ability to “come into the country, have a baby in a hospital paid for by you and me and then that baby’s automatically a citizen.”

“That baby can sit on a jury when he turns 18 and sit in judgment of you and sit in judgment of me and sit in judgment of our loved ones, can decide who our mayors are, our governors are, our presidents are,” he noted. “Citizenship means nothing if it is open to everyone.”

“There is no possible reading of the 14th Amendment that applies to foreigners with foreign loyalties, foreign citizenship, foreign obligations, foreign everything.”

“If your ruling requires you to suicide your civilization, your reading of the Constitution is wrong,” he said, insisting that the drafters of the 14th Amendment “did not want to create an automatic third-world citizenship requirement for America.”
