Trump birthright citizenship fight comes roaring back with ‘invaders’ play after Kavanaugh roadmap

Jim Banks honors Lindsey Graham, slams past 'kid gloves' approach to Iran
EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Jim Banks will introduce legislation Monday aimed at ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants and birth tourists by defining them as children of "invaders" under federal law after a Supreme Court ruling last month dealt a setback to President Donald Trump’s executive order on the issue.

Trump recently urged Senate Republicans to move faster on his legislative agenda, including ending birthright citizenship, telling them they were "not fighting hard enough," Banks, R-Ind., recalled in a June 30 interview with Human Events.

Banks told Fox News Digital he plans to introduce the Citizenship Act as soon as the Senate opens for business Monday afternoon – crafting it with a nod to Trump-appointed Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s concurrence in last month's Trump v. Barbara case.

Kavanaugh, concurring in the judgment and dissenting in part, said Trump’s order conflicted with federal birthright citizenship law but suggested Congress could amend that statute to create new exceptions.

Now we'll probably see a flurry of bills to "honor" Lindsey Graham. :boring:

Nothing will be done. It's self destructive, but if it leads to the Rats gaining power they will stop any reform. In the end a country like China, that plays the long game, will have enough dual citizens move to critical counties and then vote to swing elections in their favor.

Once again the SCOTUS failed us and the legislators will just talk.
Why vote for Republicans if they won't do what they said they would do.
