Birthright citizenship was never intended to extend to the children of illegal aliens. While proponents of unrestricted birthright citizenship argue that the 14th Amendment was meant to grant citizenship to anyone born on American soil, critics argue that it was not meant to apply to anyone simply on the basis of being born on U.S. soil.

00:01:38.000 Three and three.
00:01:39.000 It doesn't cover everything, but it's a damn good place to start.
00:01:47.000 George Washington, our first president.
00:01:50.000 Key fact number one.
00:01:52.000 George Washington's reluctancy to the presidency and his walk away from power.
00:01:58.000 Unlike many kings, emperors, or leaders of the past, George Washington was both reluctant to become America's first president, and despite his immense popularity, opted to limit his tenure as president to two terms voluntarily walking away from power.
00:02:13.000 This set the stage for policy for future presidents, though it would not become official law until the ratification of the 22nd Amendment in 1951. In a 1789 letter to Henry Knox, Washington, Expressed trepidation and humility, stating, I can assure you that my movements to the chair of government will be accompanied with feelings not unlike those of a culprit who is going to the place of his execution.
00:02:38.000 So unwilling am I, in the evening of a life nearly consumed in public cares to quit a peaceful abode for an ocean of difficulties, without that competency of political skill, abilities, and inclination, which is necessary to manage the helm.
00:02:54.000 Key fact.
00:02:55.000 Number two, George Washington despised slavery.
00:03:00.000 Although George Washington inherited slaves at an early age and maintained ownership of the slaves throughout his lifetime, his views toward the institution of slavery changed dramatically over the years.
00:03:11.000 Following the American Revolution, Washington ceased the buying or selling of slaves, convinced his wife to give up her slaves, and upon his death, freed 123 slaves per his will.
00:03:23.000 Furthermore, Slaves that were too elderly or unable to care for themselves were actually to be cared for by Washington's estate in perpetuity.
00:03:31.000 Even more, Washington's most trusted confidant during the Revolutionary War was an enslaved man named Billy Lee, and many believe this played a large influence.
00:03:40.000 Key fact number three.
00:03:43.000 Washington's farewell address.
00:03:46.000 Each year, to this day, George Washington's 1796 farewell address is read aloud in the United States Senate.
00:03:53.000 As a reminder of Washington's vision for America, in his letter to friends and citizens, Washington warned of the threats that regionalism, factionalism, and foreign intervention would continually pose to our constitutional republic, which was necessary for you, the people, to preserve, regardless of who was in the White House.
00:04:13.000 The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government.
00:04:20.000 But the Constitution, which at any time exists, until changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people, is sacredly obligatory upon all.
00:04:31.000 To date, the United States Constitution stands as the oldest active Constitution in the world.
00:04:42.000 Birthright citizenship.
00:04:43.000 Key fact number one.
00:04:45.000 The basis of birthright citizenship is the Constitution.
00:04:49.000 Per the 14th Amendment, all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States.
00:05:01.000 Which brings us to key fact number two.
00:05:06.000 Birthright citizenship was never intended to extend to the children of illegal aliens.
00:05:13.000 While proponents of unrestricted birthright citizenship argue that the intent of the 14th Amendment is to grant citizenship to anyone born on American soil, the original drafter of the 14th Amendment jurisdiction clause, Michigan Senator Jacob Howard, made it clear that the 14th Amendment was expressly not meant to apply to anyone simply on the basis of being born on U.S. soil.
00:05:37.000 He stated, Illinois Senator Lyman Trumbull further
00:06:07.000 clarified.
00:06:09.000 It cannot be said of any Indian who owes allegiance, partial allegiance if you please, to some other government that he is subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
00:06:21.000 The only Supreme Court case on birthright citizenship, one which is often misconstrued, is United States v.
00:06:28.000 Wong Kim Ark. 0.96
00:06:30.000 The ruling states that birthright citizenship can be extended to children of non-citizens, but only if they are legal permanent Key fact number three.
00:06:42.000 The fallout and cost of the misinterpretation of birthright citizenship.
00:06:48.000 According to the Center for Immigration Studies, in 2023, there were 225,000 to 250,000 babies born to illegal immigrants, which accounts for 7% of all births that year in the United States.
00:07:03.000 Now, in addition to the complication of birth tourism, The national number of children born annually to illegal aliens is larger than the number of births in any single state other than California or Texas. 0.85
00:07:16.000 In the L.A. metro area alone, more babies are born annually to illegal immigrants than the total number of births in 14 separate states and D.C. These anchor babies cost the United States taxpayer $70 to $90 billion per year. 0.97
00:07:39.000 The gender wage gap myth. 0.93
00:07:41.000 Key fact number one.
00:07:43.000 The origin of the often cited 77 cents on the dollar statistic.
00:07:49.000 The commonly cited statistic that females earn 77 cents on the dollar compared to males for the same work comes from a 2011 U.S. Census Bureau report that stated, In 2010, the female-to-male earnings ratio of full-time year-round workers was 0.77.
00:08:08.000 Now, this statistic has been widely parroted by those in media, academia, and even in a 2012 summer campaign ad for Barack Obama during his second-term run for White House.
00:08:20.000 This famous statistic, however, merely and broadly compares the salaries of all working men and all working women in all fields.
00:08:30.000 Make no mistake.
00:08:32.000 When you hear the 77 cents on the dollar statistic cited, this...
00:08:37.000 Is that to which they are referring?
00:08:40.000 Key fact number two.
00:08:42.000 There is no wage gap when accounting for job choice and education.
00:08:48.000 A study by Forbes found that when accounting for performing the same job, same experience and qualifications, the wage gap between male and female workers completely disappears.
00:08:59.000 And according to a study out of New Zealand and Australia, when it comes to high-earning careers, women actually earn more than men.
00:09:07.000 The more this field was studied, the more apparent it became that the wage gap is largely, if not entirely, explained by the choices workers make.
00:09:15.000 For example, Harvard study found that men are 83% more likely to take overtime than their female counterparts.
00:09:22.000 Men also take 48% fewer unpaid hours off than women.
00:09:26.000 When adjusted for these relevant parameters, the wages paid for comparable time and effort worked have been found to be consistently comparable.
00:09:34.000 Regardless of sex.
00:09:37.000 Key fact number three.
00:09:39.000 Over 90% of workplace deaths are men.
00:09:43.000 Researchers at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.K. government confirmed that 92 to 94% of workplace deaths in each respective country are men.
00:09:56.000 Contrary to the opaque statistical manipulation that can take place in comparing wages, The loss of life in the workplace is quantifiable, documented, irrefutable, and tragic.
00:10:13.000 Gun crime.
00:10:15.000 Key fact number one.
00:10:17.000 Higher gun ownership correlates directly with lower gun crime.
00:10:22.000 Gun-friendly areas are the safest in America.
00:10:26.000 According to the Crime Prevention Research Center and Columbia University study, 2% of U.S. counties account for 56% of all murders, and nearly all high-murder counties have a major city with a Democrat mayor.
00:10:41.000 This is also true of overall gun prevalence, with a study from Crime Research and the University of Chicago and John Lott showing that 94% of all mass shootings since 1950 have occurred in gun-free zones.
00:10:57.000 Key fact number two.
00:11:00.000 The number of homicide deaths from firearms each year.
00:11:04.000 You are far more likely to die from an unintentional or accidental death than be murdered with a firearm.
00:11:12.000 According to the CDC, between 2018 and 2022, there were an average of 17,673 homicides from firearms each year.
00:11:22.000 In other words, you are 20 to 25 times more likely to die from an accidental injury, a fall, a car crash, or poisoning than be murdered with a firearm.
00:11:34.000 Key fact number three.
00:11:38.000 The number of defensive uses of firearms each year.
00:11:44.000 Defensive firearm uses far outweigh firearm homicides.
00:11:51.000 According to nationalacademics.org, almost all national surveys estimate And
00:12:21.000 concluded that roughly 1.6 million Defensive firearm uses occur in the United States every single year.
