{whitehousedossier.com} ~ President Trump’s view that he could overrule birthright citizenship was reportedly informed by an article written last July in the Washington Post by Michael Anton... a former Trump National Security Council official and current research fellow at Hillsdale College. Anton notes that the principle of birthright citizenship is based on the 14th Amendment, which was written to ensure former slaves would be citizens of all states. That definition is included in the amendment’s first sentence: “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.” People who claim the amendment applies to illegals say a “clear reading” of the amendment proves their children born here are citizens. The argument against this centers on the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” It would seem to me that a clear reading just of the text suggests that illegal aliens, and therefore their children and those they give birth to, are subject to the “jurisdiction” of another country. Anton writes that the authors of the amendment clearly indicated it would not apply to people like tourists or illegal aliens... I am sure he also got advice from his lawyers
Earlier this month the Environmental Protection Agency released a report “showing overall decreases across sectors and that total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions reported decreased by 2.7 percent from 2016 to 2017.” EPA acting administrator Andrew Wheeler noted, “Thanks to President Trump’s regulatory reform agenda, the economy is booming, energy production is surging, and we are reducing greenhouse gas emissions from major industrial sources. These achievements flow largely from technological breakthroughs in the private sector, not the heavy hand of government. The Trump Administration has proven that federal regulations are not necessary to drive CO2 reductions. While many around the world are talking about reducing greenhouse gases, the U.S. continues to deliver, and today’s report is further evidence of our action-oriented approach.”
In fact, U.S. emissions are now at their lowest levels since 1993. So much for needing the Paris Agreement to bring about lower emissions, as the U.S. now has reduced its carbon emissions more than any other country on the planet. And several countries who signed the accord, like Canada, China, Spain and the EU, have actually seen carbon emissions increase, which once again provides proof that the Paris climate deal was little more than a socialist boondoggle primarily designed for wealth redistribution, not combating climate change.
Once again, scumbag-Gore has been caught crying of wolf.
