Rep Andy Ogles pushes anti-birthright citizenship proposal after SCOTUS ruling

Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., on Tuesday accused the U.S. Supreme Court of betraying the nation and introduced a proposal to crack down on birthright citizenship.

The nation’s supreme court on Tuesday ruled against an executive order President Donald Trump issued last year that targeted the idea that babies born on U.S. soil are entitled to American citizenship.

The 14th Amendment says in part: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

Trump’s order Declared it to be the policy of the United States that no department or agency of the United States government shall issue documents recognizing United States citizenship to persons, or accept documents issued by State, local, or other governments or authorities to persons purporting to recognize United States citizenship: (1) when such person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of such person’s birth, or (2) when such person’s mother’s presence in the United States was lawful but temporary and the person’s father was “The person in question was not a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States at the time of his or her birth.”

Ogles criticized the Supreme Court’s decision on Tuesday, offering part of an explanation: to post In X, he said the Supreme Court “betrayed America.”

In his office’s statement to Fox News Digital on Wednesday, Ogles said: “Yesterday, the Supreme Court cheapened the most valuable thing on planet Earth: U.S. citizenship. Not only is citizenship by birthright not expressly enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, but this corrupt system allows foreign nationals to take advantage of our country, our interests, and our generosity. These aliens have embedded themselves in our society and are being trained by foreign governments to corrupt our culture.”

He added, “I do not allow these anchor babies to colonize our country. Protect our sovereignty. Drop anchor!”

The congressman’s “Hoe Away Act” aims to crack down on the issue.

offer It would amend U.S. law to state that those born in the United States and subject to U.S. jurisdiction are citizens at birth and provide that in order for a child to be considered under U.S. jurisdiction, one of the parents must be a “citizen or national of the United States,” “an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States and whose domicile is in the United States,” or “an alien with legal status under immigration laws on active service in the armed forces (as defined in title 10, chapter 101, United States Code).” will change it to run.

The measure would also amend U.S. law to stipulate that “any alien who is pregnant and not married to a U.S. citizen seeking admission to the United States as a nonimmigrant shall not be admitted.” Although it also states, “Nothing in this subparagraph shall be construed to render inadmissible an alien seeking legitimate medical treatment related to childbirth.”
