Supreme Court Battles Birthright Citizenship as CCP Exploits It to Sway U.S. Elections

The U.S. Supreme Court is taking up a case this week that could shake the foundation of American citizenship. If you are born on U.S. soil and subject to its jurisdiction, you're a citizen. A heated fight is brewing over birthright citizenship. Now, new reports say the Chinese Communist Party might be using it to sneak in future voters and sway U.S. elections. In June 1866, Congress approved the 14th Amendment in order to overturn the Dred Scott decision that stripped citizenship from enslaved people and their children. It guaranteed that anyone born in America, regardless of their race or parents, would be recognized as a true American. Legal scholar Dr. John Eastman said that while the amendment's original intent remained strong for about 75 years, it began to shift over time. "Somehow it just kind of worked into our nation's psyche that if you're just born here, that's all that's necessary, and that's never what that amendment said or intended," he explained. "It was very clear they were codifying the 1866 Civil Rights Act...the word they used was temporary sojourners."
