Boortz discusses the debate over birthright citizenship and a Supreme Court case involving efforts to limit who qualifies for automatic U.S. citizenship under the 14th Amendment. He reviews the long-standing practice of children born in the United States receiving citizenship regardless of their parents’ status and examines proposals that would require at least one parent to be in the country legally. Boortz argues for stricter limits on birthright citizenship and looks at how the Court’s decision could affect immigration policy in the future.
Going back to my talk radio days, and for the most part, that was in the last century, we would talk about women from Mexico living in border towns like Nogales, Ciudad Araconia, Ciudad Juarez, Tijuana, pregnant, pregnant Mexican girls. that would wait until right before they were ready to deliver. Let’s say the water broke. They’d get in a cab and go to an American hospital as an emergency. The baby would be born in an American hospital, and even though their mother was not a citizen, they would be. That’s birthright citizenship.
