On September 22, 2026 Trump walked into the United Nations, the globalist haven for world government for 81 years, and announced the most profound, bold statement ever made in the UN General Assembly. “As President of the most extraordinary nation in history, I have no interest in leaving dangers to grow for another day. I do not believe in letting problems fester; they only become harder to solve. So, while others have talked, I have acted. While others have spoken of peace, I have made peace. While others have ignored threats, I have confronted them. While others have talked of courage, America has shown it. While others have promised strength, I have used it to make America the most powerful country in the world” (Transcript: President Trump Addresses the 81st Session, UN General Assembly, Sept. 23, 2026. Hereafter, Transcript).
Trump was talking about the United Nations that was secretly created to be a world government and evolved as such since October 24, 1945. That is what globalism is and what we now call the Deep State was then called the globalists and had been evolving as such since. Like a javelin to the heart he added “There is no global government — and while I am President, there will be no global taxes” (Ibid.). He is ending Deep State rule over the United Nations and telling them this to their face. Virtually every news outlet missed the significance of this action and statement whether intentional or ignorantly. Fake news wrote about everything but this story, still every person in the Assembly heard every word and understood. Clearly he was talking to the Deep State.
Trump’s plan for the United Nations is two fold: reform it and remove the Deep State from it. The first, to turn it into a truly peace organization through his Board of Peace of which at least 30 countries are already involved. Presently Trump is implementing “the most sweeping UN reforms in history. ‘We cut the UN budget for the first time ever, slashing it by 15% in 2026 and eliminating more than 4,000 positions from the UN bureaucracy,’” he told the Assembly.
The second, the UN “must stop imposing the far left agenda of globalist bureaucrats who nobody ever elected.” This included dismantling all organizations openly working for world government. Top of the list was “the out of control institution known as the International Criminal Court. ‘We will never allow US service members or anyone else to be investigated or given show trials by an anti-American tribunal with no jurisdiction over us. You’re an evil group of people.’” He called on all ICC member nations “to officially resign from this rogue institution immediately” (Ibid.). He called for the same for member nations of the WHO, World Bank, and World Economic Forum. (X22 Report, Ep. 3998b, Sept. 22, 2026, 30:11). All these organizations openly work for world government.
Trump is dismantling the one-world government the Deep State created through the UN. He spoke too of the “The craven hypocrites of the Human Rights Council” who do not protect “children from transgender mutilation and transgender insanity” and “have little to say about the persecution of Christians” all over the world (Transcript).
He said, “It is deeply ironic that the United Nations has an entire institution, the UNESCO group of people and countries devoted to protecting cultural heritage. Yet with their ceaseless promotion of mass migration, these globalists are actively destroying the greatest cultures and most extraordinary heritage in all of history. There is no human right to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a sovereign nation, and we want to remain a sovereign nation, and so should you” (Ibid.).
His plan is to weaken the UN and strengthen an American hemispheric alliance which includes bringing in Greenland as part of his American Shield. And he did this in their face—at the biggest globalist organization, the UN. President Trump, while at the UN "SIGNED the permanent security deal for US rights over Greenland, an absolute historic moment, with major consequences for decades to come. He was flanked by Denmark and Greenland leaders.” (Eric Daugherty, X22 Report, Ep. 3998b, Sept. 22, 2026, 31:43).
President Kennedy had to deal with a socialist enemy force only 90 miles off our coast with missiles aimed at our cities. World War III hung in the balance. President Trump had to deal with an actual invasion crossing our border with Mexico, a significant amount of its force coming from Socialist Venezuela which included at least 24,000 military aged Chinese men without women and children (See column #748). Trump’s Shield of the America’s is an extension of the Monroe Doctrine to prevent either eventuality happening again. We will have no enemy on our border poised to do us harm.
Trump continues, “the United States has also reached an unprecedented agreement regarding the northern frontier of North America, the large and strategically vital piece of land known as Greenland. This agreement, made with the Kingdom of Denmark, an incredible, beautiful country, and the Greenland people itself, gives the United States permanent control over security and all other needs on that territory” thus, “expanding America’s footprint in the Arctic and North Atlantic….We will have the complete ability to do what is necessary to defend the American continent .…No US adversary will ever be permitted to establish military presence in Greenland anymore or make sensitive investments there without our expressed written approval; … We’ll be building two very major military bases”(Transcript).
Trump removed the Deep State proxy governments in Venezuela and Iran this year and has exposed Ukraine as another to be neutralized soon. The Cartels in this hemisphere have been designated as terrorist organizations and in Venezuela are now being terminated. Trump said of Mexico, “It’s unacceptable for the United States to share a 2,000 mile border with a territory controlled by enemy cartels. So Mexico must reclaim control of its soil from enemies of humanity.” With Trump’s help, Mexico will be removing them as well. Also Cuba, under Deep State influence since Fidel Castro came to power in 1959, will be freed soon.
This and much more was in Trump’s UN speech. If all this continues to unfold, as is presently likely, there will be no global government or global taxes and no Deep State proxy governments either. I have waited to publish this column for fifty years. Trump is destroying one-world government, more commonly called the New World Order.

On August 6, 2026 Trump issued two new executive orders sure to send birthright citizenship back to the Supreme Court. This from his intentionally ending the practice by Executive Order 14160, titled "Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship,” White House, January 20, 2025. The executive order challenged the prevailing over 50-year-plus distortion of the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, The words birthright, baby, or immigration weren’t in the amendment, then, nor now. Trump ended birthright citizenship in the United States for children of unauthorized immigrants as well as immigrants legally but temporarily present in the U.S., such as those on student, work, or tourist visas. On June 30, 2026, his order was shockingly declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court.
United States v. Wong Kim Ark of March 28, 1898 was the first Supreme Court case to decide on the status of children born in the United States to alien parents. This decision “repurposed” THE 14TH AMENDMENT, WHICH HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IMMIGRATION, from U.S. Ex-slaves and their offspring seeking citizenship to illegals aliens invading our borders. It is TOTALLY unconstitutional to change the meaning of an amendment to something never intended by its authors. Even one perversion leeds to others.
With this distortion the 14th Amendment was “repurposed,” as Justice Clarence Thomas called it, from giving ex-slaves citizenship after the Civil War to birth citizenship for illegals invading America who, while present, deliver a baby who gains citizenship enabling that child to sponsor them for citizenship later. The 13th amendment made ex—slaves free, the 14th extended ex-slaves citizenship and the 15th, the right to vote. These Reconstruction Era amendments cannot be seen separately and have nothing to do with immigration. Those receiving it then were ex-slaves. They dealt almost entirely with our black population. In the Court’s recent decision we could not get further from original intent or as constitutionally written. It’s a massive perversion.
On August 6, 2026, Trump issued Executive Order “Continuing to Protect the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship” to essentially move back to original intent and at least limit the privilege, as once it was before 1898. United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), itself a distortion, affirmed that children born in the U.S. are citizens unless they fall under certain exceptions. These exceptions were identified in Trump’s recent EO’s as: “children of alien enemies, members of designated foreign terrorist organization, or specifically designated global terrorists, children of certain foreign government employees, diplomats, embassy, consular staff with immunity, children whose parents engage in commercial transaction to obtain citizenship, explicitly including birth tourism packages or paid surrogacy arrangements aimed at securing a U.S. birth, children born in certain U.S. territories where federal statute does not already confer citizenship, agencies are directed not to issue or recognize citizenship documents for people in these categories when neither parent is a U.S. citizen (White House, Executive Orders, August 6. 2026). The Deep State and far left Democrats want no exceptions—anyone birthed in the U.S.—even for one day.
We are optimistic that the Supreme Court will switch this vote as they have previously supported many of these “exceptions” in the past. Anticipate many lawsuits here but it will end up in the Supreme Court who will have a second chance to regain the confidence of the American public after their last ruling on birth citizenship, especially Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett.
Trump's second August 6, 2026, Executive Order titled, “Ending Birth Tourism,” is “entirely different. It uses the president's existing statutory authority over visas and admission to the United States.” It directs the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security to “deny visas, revoke travel authorization, bar entry, and remove people who come or arrange for others to come for the primary purpose of giving birth to obtain citizenship for their child (Ibid.).
In either executive order the Trump administration “is not claiming the power to overrule the Supreme Court. It is arguing that these narrow categories fit inside the historical exception the court itself recognized.” (X22 Report, Ep. 3966b, August 9, 2026, 44:43). But he IS CLAIMING CLARITY on their statement in Trump V. Barbara, that the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution extends the privilege of citizenship to children born to parents in the United States “for whom no extraterritorial fiction applie[s].” What does that mean? This means someone is fully considered to be in the place where they physically are, rather than being treated as if they are still on foreign soil,” which they should be until they meet the qualifications of citizenship.
This opens a can of worms. So you are a citizen of any country you visit, at least for a time, because that is where you presently are? If so, the Supreme Court opened the doors to every person in the world who could get to America, and you are recognized as a citizen because you are here. Insane!! The visa entry restrictions on birth tourism are the part least likely to be seen as a direct challenge to the Court's constitutional holding.
"This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, and aliens." We have desecrated Senator Howard's citizenship clause even giving preference to these excluded groups.
Trump is going to operate within the interpretation of the Supreme Court’s ruling. The ruling left intact the traditional narrow historical exceptions, mainly children of foreign diplomats with immunity and children of invading enemy forces, where “extraterritorial fiction” applies, so they're not considered fully under U.S. jurisdiction” (Supreme Court’s ruling in Trump V. Barbara, 609 U.S. _, 146 S. Ct. 2438, 2449 (2026). Trump will likely get his win.
In Trump v. Barbara, Chief Justice John Roberts held that “children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause” (Ibid.). He did not explain how it is possible to be ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the United States if you are not first a citizen and are admittedly unlawfully in the United States. Ex-slaves were life-long residents and lawfully in the United States so undisputedly “subject to the jurisdiction’ of the United States thus once freed could get citizenship. Illegals came from somewhere in which they were subject to a jurisdiction and THAT WAS NOT IN THE United States. Worse, their kid can’t have the jurisdiction not possessed by either parent.

Within two weeks the “settled” birth citizenship issue sprang back to life. At least two billboards within five miles of our southern border announced in Spanish an “anchor baby hospital”—essentially advertising birthright citizenship for sale. Mission Regional Medical Center confirmed to Fox News that it was responsible for the advertising campaign, which promoted deliveries starting at $3,950 for a natural birth and $5,525 for a C-section, and directed viewers to a website, havemybabyinTEXAS.com, which since this news broke has been taken offline (“Abbott orders probe after Texas hospital advertises 'birth packages' in Mexico: 'Citizenship is not for sale’ Gov Greg Abbott directed Texas HHSC to probe the hospital for potential violations, warning citizenship 'is not for sale,’” By Brooke Taylor, Fox News, July 7, 2026). Moreover, birth tourism is an illegal practice now incentivized by the Supreme Court ruling. Consequently, Trump requests the Supreme Court for a rehearing “IMMEDIATELY. This miscarriage of justice will destroy America if they don't change [this] absolutely insane decision,” he insisted.
One of two billboards within five miles of our southern border announcing in Spanish where foreigners could “have my baby in TEXAS.com” advertising birthright citizenship for sale. Birth tourism is an illegal practice now incentivized by the Supreme Court’s 14th Amendment ruling. Mission Regional Medical Center confirms it was responsible for the advertising campaign.
In the majority opinion announced June 30, 2026, the Supreme Court in Trump v. Barbara, Chief Justice John Roberts held that “children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause” (“Supreme Court strikes down Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order in landmark decision,” by Scott Bomboy, National Constitution Center, June 30, 2026). Six of the nine justices consurred.
Three of the six members of the majority Justices: Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Keegan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, virtually never support the Constitution as written, and the whole argument against unlimited birthright citizenship is based on what was written and meant when written. Roberts has betrayed that base many times, for example his support of Obamacare and in this case. Some feel he is compromised. This gave the other side four justices initially--one short of a majority, BEFORE the court challenge.
Kavanaugh’s basing his decision on federal law as interpreted the last half century that has distorted original intent, rather than the Constitution itself, was shameful. The Supreme Court’s entire function is to keep federal law in harmony with the Constitution not the distortions of it over time which is what he essentially acknowledged doing—not changing the Constitution by collective distortion. One distortion begets another and overtime becomes “a different constitution,” at justice and liberty’s expense. In this case, he was missing in action (MIA). These gave the left their victory. To ALL justices, especially Chief Justice Roberts, please note, visitors and illegals are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the country they came from--WHICH IS NOT AMERICA, only becoming so, AFTER the grant of citizenship here.
Justices: Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch dissented, arguing that the 14th Amendment citizenship clause was intended to secure rights for free slaves and does not apply to children of foreign temporary visitors and illegal aliens. These three were the only Justices of the nine that correctly used the Constitution as written in making their judgment.
A rehearing request is possible through Rule 44, but is all uphill. The last time the justices opted to rehear a case previously decided was in 1965, and that was to address a technical issue, not to issue a full reversal (X22 Report, hereafter not cited, Ep. 3945b, July 9, 2026, 57:36). The Supreme Court has only reversed a merits ruling once, in 1956’s Reid v. Covert (Trump demands Supreme Court re-examine birthright citizenship case: ‘Miscarriage of justice,’ by Ryan King, July 9, 2026). The request must be made by the president within 25 days of the ruling and a majority of the justices is still required but one of the members of the previous majority must support the rehearing.
Amendments 13, 14 and 15 were entirely about ex-slaves in the South, already under the jurisdiction of the U.S., ending slavery, making them citizens, and giving them the right to vote. None of these amendments had ANYTHING to do with foreigners coming in or immigration or even contained these words!!! Democrats have taken the 14th out of context and repurposed it to apply to children of foreign temporary visitors and illegal aliens. It is 100% perverted and unconstitutional and every honest justice knows this to be true.
The rehearing justice will not be one of the three women justices who never rule by original intent, as already mentioned, nor will it be Chief Justice John Roberts who can’t be trusted and wrote the opinion of the majority. That leaves only two majority justices, Amie Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh, the two court surprises, who normally follow original intent (as written) as do Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch.
Look for Kavanaugh, once reminded of his proper function as a a justice, and possibly Barrett as well, to be the member of the previous majority to support the rehearing required by implementing Rule 44. And with the new data, ANCHOR BABY HOSPITAL in Texas, coming to the fore, a new majority of 5—4 against is possible but it would require both Kavanaugh and Barrett—a miracle. But this president has received other miracles. Let the Constitution, as written, prevail. Justice Thomas wrote a 91 page dissent, it would be well if Barrett and Kavanaugh reviewed his dissenting comments (Ep. 3945b, July 9, 2026, 57:36).
Should Amendment 14 not prevail as written in the rehearing. "Trump's efforts to reverse birthright citizenship, may still succeed with or without SCOTUS: (Just the news.com/government/whitehouse. Truth (Ep. 3938b, June 30, 2026, 40:42). Trump, "The Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship, which is too bad for our country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through legislation, with the support of the president, that has now been determined during this process. No long and unwielding Constitutional Amendment is necessary! Congress should start TODAY to work on ending, expensive and unfair to our country, Birthright Citizenship. They will have my complete and total support!” (Ep. 3938b, June 30, 2026,40:55). Let’s begin by defining the jurisdiction thereof to make it clear that citizenship is tied to the parents—not the soil. Also, we need to deny any state or federal funds that provide status to anyone "not subject to the jurisdiction thereof” of this country (Ep. 3938b, June 30, 2026, 41:35). These would disincentivize birth citizenship.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, greatly disturbed by the slow walk, or no walk, on the subject of pedophilia and child sex slavery in the United States by the Democrats and RINO’s in Congress said, “We found at least 146,000 migrant children that were unaccounted for during the Biden administration,” adding, “We’re investigating reports to where some of these kids claim that they were raped 600 to 700 times.” One had a venereal disease at age 8.
The major mission of both outgoing (Kristi Noem) and incoming (Markwayne Mullin) Trump Homeland Security Secretaries was the same. Remove the most dangerous criminal illegal aliens from this country as quickly as possible and find the 448,000 lost Biden children returning them to their home countries and families.
He then uttered the most profound statement on the subject possible. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t care if you have kids. You don’t have kids. I don’t care if you’re a liberal, you’re independent, you’re a Democrat. You’re Republican. IF YOU CAN’T STAND FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT TO GO FIND THESE KIDS, WHO ARE YOU?,” he told reporters (“Trump admin has found 146K migrant kids who went missing under Biden: DHS chief,” by Josh Christenson, June 11, 2026, New York Post). That should unite to action every honorable person in this country. Will it?!!
It has been known for some time, that nearly 450,000 unaccompanied children went missing under former president Joe Biden’s four year immigrant invasion. Of these “nearly 300,000” are still unaccounted and likely experiencing the same horrifying abuses as those already rescued.
Mullin fumed. “And do you know where we’re finding most of them: sanctuary cities.” He continued, “between fiscal years 2019 and 2023, more than 448,000 unaccompanied minors were in Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s custody before being transferred to the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services for resettlement with domestic sponsors, the IG’s report found” (Ibid.). Apparently in the transition is where they were dropped out of sight.
That said, he next reminded us of the insanely horrifying documentation that Senator Chuck Grassley obtained last year, May 2025, from the Department of Health and Human Services, data showing “that 65,605 reports regarding migrant children were ignored or dismissed under President Joe Biden, including 7,346 reports of human trafficking.” What if any of these reports were from the victims who had escaped their enslavement hoping to get help from a government phone number that was supposed to help?
Mullin also reminded us of the serious abuse to women in particular, “One-third of girls smuggled into the U.S. were likely assaulted before they reached the southern border.” How can this be tolerated? It can’t!!
Two reasons why child sex trafficking can no longer be tolerated. 1) Because it is pure evil. "But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea (Matthew 18:6). 2) Child sex slavery “is the fastest growing international crime network that the world has ever seen. It has already passed the illegal arms trade and soon it is going to pass the drug trade because you can sell a bag of cocaine one time but a child 5 to 10 times a day.” Never in history has there been more slavery than now (“Trump is the Lone President to Criminalize Pedophilia,” LibertyUnderFire.org, July 30, 2025).
Trump and his FBI and ICE have rescued 146,000 children to date with another 300,000 to go. Last December the number rescued was 62,000 so the Trump administration is making great progress, despite Democrat engineered opposition to ICE. At that time Tom Homan reported, “We know many of them are in sex trafficking. Many are in forced labor. Many are being abused,” Homan added. “I can’t discuss some of the mistreatment we found out about. President Trump again proved why he’s the greatest president in my lifetime. Over 62,000 children rescued.” (“Trump admin has rescued 62K migrant kids from sex trafficking, child labor, border czar Homan says,” By Ryan King, Fox News, Dec. 7, 2025).
The unanswered “hotline” incentivized migrant child abuse and left the victims (usually girls) truly alone in a foreign country. Some of these calls had to be from victims desperate for help from predators. Help can't come if no one is ever really on the other end of the line.
The DOJ has since identified more than 15,500 so-called “super-sponsors,” those connected to more than three migrant minors trafficked into the U.S. “These often used fraudulent forms of identification and made false claims to officials to gain custody of the children once they were in the U.S.” Kristi Noem, as DHS Secretary earlier this year, “described the cases as ‘horrific’ and said the Biden administration was guilty of ‘true neglect at best and criminal at worst.’” To these, Mullin speaks directly, "We're going to bring you to justice. We're going to charge you, and we're going to work side by side with Todd Blanch and DOJ to make sure you pay for your crimes,” (“DOJ charges three with ‘wide-ranging conspiracy’ to smuggle migrant kids to the US,” By Josh Christenson, June 11, 2026, New York Post).
But will punishment include institutions? Who supports a society selling its children to satisfy adult perverse sexual appetites? Let us suggest a few: Disneyland, Hollywood, Deep State news outlets, most social media outlets, and, as demonstrated, the Biden Administration. Where is the opposition to the hideous practice of pedophilia? By their actions the Democratic Party still mostly defend the practice.
Trump has advocated capital punishment. There are no crimes more serious than those to children. This may be one reason the Justice Department is attempting to get the children found and under protection before the Epstein Files are fully exposed as the children are the leading witnesses exposing the pedophits who would be incentivized to remove them.
Once again, “If you can’t stand for law enforcement to go find these kids, who are you?”

Help preserve our Republic while we still can by sharing this column.
Let us first establish that Congress represents all the citizens of this country (all factions and political parties) and establishes all federal law of the land within our borders. ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) was created by Congress to enforce the federal law they created respecting this country’s borders. Fighting against it is the same as fighting Congress, the U. S. Constitution and the U.S. armed forces. Anyone doing so proves themselves treasonist and an enemy to us all. This has always been the case and understanding until now. Any battle against ICE is to be waged only in the legislative branch and not on the streets of America.
Delaney Hall, an immigration holding center outside Newark, New Jersey where demonstrators gathered May 30, 2026 arguing that the facility is really a concentration camp and those inside kidnapped or abducted. They omitted two important details. If they had not broken our laws by crossing the border they would not be in this place. Or, once in, and realizing that those on this side considered it an invasion, taken advantage of Trump’s generously funded self deportation plan. Americans overwhelmingly support deportation.
The enemies of this country and the U. S. Constitution have been in play for well over 100 years under generic names: Internationalists, Globalists, the Establishment, and now the Deep State. Their major goal during the Biden years was to bring in millions of unvetted illegal immigrants and team up with them to destroy America. The laws of entree into this country are enforced by ICE thus they seek to destroy ICE and the Republic it preserves. This conglomerate, collectively called the Deep State, funds and assists virtually every Anti-American cause.
This facet’s most recent activity to destroy ICE was May 30, 2026 outside Delaney Hall, an immigration holding center outside Newark, New Jersey, thus we will call it the Delaney Hall Riot. They admit to being a “collection of anti-Israel, Marxist and Democratic organizations.” This riot was planned for up to a year in advance. They comprise at least 100 organizations and are heavily financed to the tune of $825 million in combined annual revenue. Within the 100 organizations are “big names like the ACLU, Indivisible and Democratic Socialists of America. Their document calling all socialists to assemble was the “Delaney Hall Creator Brief.” In mere minutes, “the call to action spread through secret groups on Signal, an encrypted messaging platform, activating hundreds of anti-ICE activists… collaborating on transportation, logistics and supplies, like goggles, protections against pepper spray, respirators and protective knee pads.”
Word choices are an important part of the propaganda war. “The strategy document directs content creators to call the detention center a ‘concentration camp’ and detainees ‘captives’ who were ‘kidnapped/abducted/taken.’” These “tactics mirror the system deployed in Minneapolis earlier this year to protest ICE actions, and military experts say the operations resemble the tactics of an insurgency” (“Secret Signal chats reveal how anti-ICE agitators coordinated Newark riots,” by Asra Q. Nomani, Michael Dorgan, Preston Mizell, FOX News, June 4, 2026). Indeed it does because THIS IS AN INSURGENCY. “They act like military battalions…Fox News Digital observed tents stocked with respirators, goggles, protective pads, decontamination supplies and other protest-support equipment.”
Fox News pointed out a fatal weakness, an Achilles' heal, to them if only the House will act upon it. “About 70 of the groups have received special designations as charities by the IRS, have status as regular 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) nonprofits, as well as labor union 501(c)(5) and 501(c)(6) nonprofits, enjoying tax-deductible donations and certain tax-free benefits.” These seventy organizations presently are “under congressional investigation for alleged abuse of those designations.” Ending their inappropriate tax exemption status is critical to saving America.
The lies about Delaney Hall being a concentration camp, they being kidnapped, and being horribly mistreated were debunked rather quickly when “the state of New Jersey's health inspectors went to Delaney Hall and didn't find a single violation. They concluded, ‘No lawbreakers in the history of human civilization have been better treated.’” (Fox News, X22 Reports, hereafter not cited, Ep. 3920b, June 4, 2026, 7:10).
Let us acknowledge our recent deportation history—all living presidents deported. Bill Clinton deported 2 million with no riots or objections from his political party. George W. Bush deported 2 million with no riots or objections. Obama deported 5 million with no riots or objections. Trump’s first term he deported 2 million with no riots. Biden deported 4 million with no riots or objections from his party. Trump’s second term, as of June 1, 2026, deported 900k with numerous riots, protests, even deaths and universal objection from RINO’s and Democrats, 2 million self deported. Its all manufactured to stop Trump (Ep. 3917b, June 1, 2026, 16:57).
We live in a day when both the Departments of Justice of Biden and Trump have ruled the other domestic terrorists. Americans who block ICE or immigration enforcement usually also have extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders. If they are physically ready to block ICE they are likely also to support overthrowing the U.S. Government—three of the 8 definitions of Domestic Terrorist.
Trump’s most recent Executive Order “Restoring Integrity to America’s Financial System” should discourage our banks and financial systems from being used as accomplices to criminal activities. Trump describes it, “I recently signed a powerful new executive order, which will be led by the Treasury Department, to stop banks, credit cards, and financial institutions from being used to facilitate human smuggling, drug trafficking, illegal immigration, and the criminal cartels who orchestrate these activities. Access to our nation’s financial systems must be limited to those who have a legal right to be here, and who are engaged in lawful and legitimate commerce. Bank accounts being used to enable illegal immigration, or to store the welfare received by illegal aliens will be shut down, and funds will ultimately face impoundment and seizure so they can be returned to taxpayers. It is not ludicrous, but profoundly dangerous, that any illegal alien can simply present a blue state drivers license, or Biden border document, and have unrestricted access to the U.S. financial system… My executive order will also allow us to stop billions in leaving our country in all manner of criminal activity. It has been said this measure we are taking is the most effective means of reversing Biden's border invasion.” And indeed it likely will be. Some of us remember some banks shutting down Trump accounts in his first term while supporting Epstein’s illicit millions in blackmail money (Ep. 3919b, June 3, 2026, 21:05).
For illegals who still do not want to return home. Department of State Secretary Marco Rubio has lined up 20 countries willing to take them. They quickly succumb to deportation to their home country when told they would be going to a different foreign country.

President Donald Trump ignited the birthright citizenship issue by an executive order mandating that we return to the Constitution as written by ending the practice. His EO was titled “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship.” Consequently 22 Democrat state AG’s sued the Trump Administration (PRESIDENTIAL ACTIONS Executive Order, Jan. 20, 2025). Generally Republicans agree with this action and many Democrats do not. A ruling accepting or rejecting this practice is expected by the Supreme Court any day.
All Deep State media quoted only the message they wanted remembered highlighted in yellow, knowingly leaving out the eligibility requirement of six words essential to the amendment “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Amendments 13, 14, and 15 were created to incorporate the newly freed ex-slaves in the South. None of these amendments had anything to do with immigration or contained even the word yet some Democrats saw this group as a way of supersizing to a permanent single party rule, thus encouraged this serious PERVERSION of the Constitution.
The post Civil War amendments all dealt with what to do with the former slave residents the North had made free against the will of the South; the 11 states once holding them in bondage, and although now free, wanted to keep them as still subservient in citizenship and voting. The 13th Amendment was ratified December 6, 1865, constitutionally ended slavery, the 14th on July 9, 1868) giving their yet unborn citizenship, and the 15th on March 30, 1870 extending the right to vote—together they equalized ex-slaves by law. The amendments must be treated together. None had anything to do with immigration—the word was not mentioned or implied.
Actually, birthright citizenship is prohibited by the 14th Amendment. LibertyUnderFire.org published on Sept. 28, 2010, “Are ‘Anchor’ Babies Constitutional?,” and we have followed with several like columns over the many years. The concept of “anchor” babies refers to those whose parents are illegal immigrants into the United States and while here have a baby. That baby then inherits full citizenship and even the right later, as an adult, to sponsor his/her own illegal parents in their quest for citizenship. How can a child of such a parentage have what his parents clearly do not have? Is this practice constitutional? No, and although miss-practiced widely the last several decades, has never been original intent or practice.
For the casual reader the amendment seems to validate such if we omit the middle highlighted six words : “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” The debate for or against the practice of allowing citizenship for babies of illegal’s born in the U.S. rages on with virtually no expert or otherwise going to the source of the alleged authority—the crafters of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
Senator Jacob Merritt Howard, architect of the 14th Amendment, actually structured the Amendment, (one of two defining the legal status of freed slaves after the Civil War, the other being the 13th which gave them freedom) to prevent that very interpretation. He wrote: “This amendment which I have offered is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born within the limits of the United States, and [already, as were ex-slaves] subject to 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 [emphasis added], 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 was he who insisted that the qualifying phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” be inserted into Section I. Those sneaking across our borders in the cover of darkness (under Biden in open daylight) are clearly foreigners and thus specifically excluded from automatic citizenship. Notice the exclusion of babies born of ambassadors while here too.
The early record of Senate deliberations on the 14th Amendment show this to be the view of the Senate. There is no such thing as automatic citizenship from this amendment without serious and unscholarly distortion of it. In fact, Lyman Trumbull, co-author of the 13th Amendment outlawing slavery, addressing the definition of the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” asked, What do we mean by complete jurisdiction thereof? Not owing allegiance to anybody else. That is what it means.” Those crossing our borders illegally have jurisdiction or allegiance elsewhere and thus cannot have automatic citizenship—nor can their babies.
On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens born in the U.S. The text of the order states that it applies only to newborns. It is not retroactive for people who are already U.S. citizens. According to a lawsuit filed by virtually every Democrat state AG in the country, there are about 150,000 children born each year to two parents who are illegal aliens. How can a child of such a parentage have what his parents clearly do not have? Trump wants to return to Amendment 14 which denied this practice.
Citizenship was denied Native Americans until 1924 as they owed allegiance to their Sioux or Apache or Blackfoot, or whatever, Indian nations and thus were not yet “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” of the nation they lived within. Certainly one must cease to be at war or conflict with the conquering country. So just being on U.S. soil, even all their life as were they, did not make them citizens automatically until the “jurisdiction thereof” part of the Amendment was satisfied.
Many of our Mexican friends send portions of their paychecks home to Mexico and plan to return to their native land upon retirement with pensions and/or social security sent to their “first” country from the country they extracted the wealth from—the U.S. Some vote in Mexican elections from here. It is indeed hard to argue that they are not instead subject to the jurisdiction of another land other than the United States—and most admit it. Unfortunately for them the U. S. Constitution specifically denies such citizenship.
Democrat AG’s from 22 states are now taking Trump to court for this “long-standing right.” This is likely to progress to the Supreme Court where it will be defeated if the court holds to original intent as understood and practiced for at least the first hundred years of the amendment’s history. No new amendment is needed to get us back to original intent. Trump’s executive order on this matter is within his authority and enough. Only ignorance, or intent, took us off the Constitution to begin with. It remains the law of the land as written. Only the grossest distortion or intent by those in power and a population grossly ignorant of their founding document could miss this. The president swears by oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” which, in this case, he is doing.
Either the Supreme Court follows the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, or it doesn’t! Justices, if you fail to uphold the Constitution on one of the clearest amendments written, you will lose the confidence of the people that you are fit for your high, Holy and distinguished office.
