Texas Republican Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX) joined Breitbart News Saturday to discuss an array of issues including the dangers of socialism and his resolution to end birthright citizenship, which is one of President Trump’s priorities.
“I introduced this resolution calling on the president to resume the interpretation of section 1 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution as it was originally intended, and applied as law for a century, and end this birthright citizenship misinterpretation,” Babin stated.
“There was never an intention to grant citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants. It was simply to grant citizenship to the children of former slaves at the end of the Civil War,” Babin explained to Breitbart Washington Political Editor Matt Boyle. “It was only in the 1960s where it was starting to get this kind of skewed interpretation that it pertained to anyone who stepped foot in our country, legal or illegal.”
“It’s simply not the case. It’s never been tried in court. It’s never been interpreted by the Supreme Court, and I think the president is doing the right thing. This 14th Amendment misinterpretation drives illegal immigration. Absolutely drives this. It’s a magnet for people to try to sneak into the country, have an anchor baby, and then we wind up with families of illegal immigrants becoming citizens and residents of the United States,” Babin added.
