CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 31, 2026
TOMORROW THE SUPREME COURT WILL HEAR ARGUMENTS OVER WHETHER THE 14TH AMENDMENT GUARANTEES U.S. CITIZENSHIP TO ANY BABY BORN IN THIS COUNTRY TO FOREIGN WOMEN. IT WILL BE THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL ISSUE THIS SESSION, OR PERHAPS ANY SESSION SINCE THE OVERTURNING OF ROE VS. WADE.
THE 14TH AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION WAS PASSED 150 YEARS AGO IN ORDER TO GRANT CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS TO FORMER SLAVES AND THEIR CHILDREN. THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WILL ARGUE THE AMENDMENT HAS BEEN ABUSED TO ALLOW ILLEGAL ALIENS THE RIGHT TO GIVE BIRTH TO U.S. CITIZENS. PLANE LOADS OF PREGNANT CHINESE WOMEN FLY TO U.S. PROTECTED ISLANDS IN THE PACIFIC, GIVE BIRTH AND THEN FLY BACK TO CHINA. WHEN THE CHILDREN ARE GROWN, CHINA SENDS THEM BACK TO DO THINGS BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNIST REGIME. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE ALSO HAVING THEIR BABIES HERE AND THEY, TOO, BECOME INSTANT CITIZENS. THIS MUST STOP.
THE OLD JOKE SAYS “IF I’M BORN IN A GARAGE IT DOESN’T MAKE ME A CAR.”
THE COURT SHOULD RULE FOR THE PLAINTIFFS IN THIS ONE. THE FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY MAY HANG ON IT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
