Sen. Jim Banks Introduces Bill to End Birthright Citizenship for Children of Illegal Aliens and Birth Tourists Using Kavanaugh Playbook — Defines Them as Children of “Invaders”

Senator Jim Banks (R-IN) is set to introduce the Citizenship Act Monday afternoon, legislation that would finally slam the door on birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens and birth tourists by classifying their parents as “invaders” under federal law.

The proposal comes just weeks after the Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship, ruling that children born in the United States to illegal immigrants and temporary visa holders remain U.S. citizens under the Fourteenth Amendment.

Chief Justice John Roberts authored the majority opinion, joined by Justice Amy Coney Barrett and the Court’s liberal bloc, while Justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred on statutory grounds.

Banks’ legislation seeks to respond directly to that ruling by codifying the argument that individuals who enter the United States illegally should be treated as “invaders” for purposes of federal citizenship law.

Supporters argue that the Fourteenth Amendment’s phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” was never intended to grant automatic citizenship to children of those who entered the country unlawfully or solely to obtain U.S. citizenship for their newborns.

According to Fox News, Banks is using a clever legislative workaround inspired by Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s concurrence in the case. Kavanaugh noted that while Trump’s executive order conflicted with existing statute, Congress has the power to amend the law and create clear exceptions, exactly what this bill does.

The legislation would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to state that any person who enters the United States without authorization or for the purpose of engaging in birth tourism is considered an “invader.” Their U.S.-born children would therefore not receive automatic citizenship.

Vatican Rejects US Claim That Pope Leo Speaks as a Politician, Insists That Leo XIV’s Opinions on War and Migrants Are Official ‘Proclamations of the Gospel’

The Globalist playbook of ideas does not equate to the teaching of the Gospels.

We have been reporting here on TGP about the most disturbing behavior by leftist Pope Leo XIV, who lets his ideological bias fly in the defense of ideas that are popular with the Globalist-Liberal establishment of our planet.

It’s the war, it’s the migrants, it’s global warming: Leo opens his mouth, and predictable leftist talking points fill the air.

Most conservative Catholics are disgusted by his relentless political statements, but the US ambassador to the Holy See went above and beyond, playing down Leo XIV’s criticism of the U.S. war in Iran, saying he spoke as a politician, not a religious leader.

The Vatican issued an angry public rebuttal, arguing that when Leo’s talks about war, migrants and other topics, he is ‘officially proclaiming the Gospel’.

DOJ Warns Election Officials In All 50 States They Can Face Criminal Charges For Allowing Non-Citizens To Vote

The election officials of all 50 states received a letter last week from the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Rights Division informing them they may be prosecuted if non-citizens are permitted to vote in an election and their ballots are counted.

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon confirmed Thursday that the letters were sent out to the officials of all 50 states.

“I saw some, you know, hyperventilating from some, including the, I think, lieutenant governor in Utah – who’s also the election official – and she seemed to think she was being persecuted because Utah is refusing to hand over their voter rolls in our civil litigation,” Dhillon remarked to John Solomon on Just the News’ show “No Noise.”

“No, Deirdre, this is not aimed at you,” Dhillon said. “It is for everybody, and you know, in fact, many election officials are lawyers. They know this, but no one has been enforcing these parts of our laws, and we’re enforcing them. We’re enforcing them against people who voted illegally. There are criminal prosecutions ongoing in that regard, and we’re going to enforce them against the people whose responsibility is to ensure that doesn’t happen if they look the other way.”

According to the report, within just the past several months, the DOJ has achieved some two dozen voting arrests, prosecutions, or convictions on non-citizens. With about 90 more cases under investigation, Dhillon underscored that the letters sent to state election officials informs those individuals that they can face criminal charges as well for allowing non-citizens to remain on voter rolls and cast ballots in elections.

About a dozen states that have agreed to hand over their voter rolls to the DOJ have already identified 20,000 to 30,000 non-citizens on their lists, DOJ officials told Just the News, adding that they cite three primary problem areas in states’ voter rolls prior to the 2026 midterm election: 1) hundreds of thousands of dead people still on the rolls and listed as eligible to vote; 2) tens of thousands of illegal aliens on the rolls; and 3) many foreigners registering and voting in a federal election.

Dhillon stressed the importance of the election integrity issue to Greg Kelly of Newsmax’s “Greg Kelly Reports.”

“[I]f we’re going to have a country, we have to enforce its laws,” she said. “And for too long, these laws that criminalize not only non-citizen voting but also election officials and others willingly allowing it, going looking the other way, conspiring to do it, enabling it – that’s a crime too. But you know, we’ve seen very few, if any, prosecutions under those laws. So, I wanted to spell it out for the election officials, make sure that they’re on notice.”

Chip Roy Unveils Bill Requiring Hospitals Participating in Federal Healthcare Programs to Report Immigration Status Data

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) is introducing legislation that would require hospitals participating in federal health care programs to ask patients to indicate their immigration status.

The hospitals would have to report aggregate totals, including the number of patients who say they are not lawfully present in the United States. 

Roy’s “Illegal Alien Patient Reporting Act” would amend Title XI of the Social Security Act and exclude hospitals from participation in federal healthcare programs if they fail to comply with the legislation’s reporting requirements.

“For years, Americans have watched overcrowded emergency rooms, rising healthcare costs, and strained hospital resources while being kept in the dark about the potential billions of taxpayer dollars spent on healthcare for those who are in the country illegally,” Roy told Breitbart News.

“That lack of accountability is unacceptable and absurd,” the Texas Republican continued. “The Illegal Alien Patient Reporting Act delivers the transparency and accountability Americans deserve by ensuring hospitals report the extent to which illegal aliens are adding to the fiscal burden of our healthcare system.”

Under the bill, hospital admission, registration, and other intake forms would be required to ask patients or their authorized representatives to indicate the patient’s immigration status.

Non-Citizen Voting Arrests Continue To Mount, State Officials Put On Notice

The Trump Justice Department has secured roughly two dozen non-citizens voting arrests, prosecutions or convictions in the last few months, with another nearly 90 more cases under investigation.

Just the News reports that the wave of prosecutions represents a growing number of individuals charged in the last year with illegally voting in U.S. federal elections as foreigners.

Department of Justice (DOJ) officials say all 50 states were sent notices this month that election officials can and will be prosecuted too if they allow non-citizens to vote.

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon told the Just the News, “This is not some idle threat.”

The letters state that state election officers face potential criminal penalties for “aiding and abetting” non-citizen voting. This includes knowingly retaining non-citizens on voting registration lists or assisting them with obtaining and casting ballots.

State officials were given a strict 5-day deadline by the DOJ to submit explanations of how they are complying with federal voter eligibility laws.

Dhillon drew a clear line on non-citizen voting, saying:

It isn’t just bad policy to let non-citizens vote in federal elections, it’s a crime. And this Department of Justice will intend to prosecute that crime if these election officials, having been informed that they are non-citizens on the voter rolls, knowingly allow those people to vote, enable their enrollment on the voter rolls, are passive in the face of this knowledge, etc.

Dhillon believes the numbers of foreigners illicitly voting in elections is probably higher but has been frustrated that U.S. Attorney offices across the country haven’t made illegal voting a larger priority until just recently.

Federal law requires voters to be American citizens to vote on the federal level, but some states and cities allow non-citizens to vote in local elections.

The DOJ push comes as President Donald Trump tries to persuade a hesitant U.S. Senate to pass the Save America Act that would impose citizenship and voter ID on all federal election voters.

Most Suspects in 2026 Killings of Irish Women Were Foreign-Born

Official information on murders in Ireland so far this year indicates that, were it not for foreigners living in Ireland, the murder rate—at least of women—would be astronomically lower.

Presuming the information below is true, approximately 85% of the murderers who killed women in Ireland this year were foreigners. Since then, Gript’s Niamh Uí Bhriain has clarified that, of the eight men who targeted Irish women in 2026, every single one was born outside Ireland, although “the suspect in the dreadful killing of Noreen Daly claimed to be ‘Manhattan born, Irish blood.’” The statistic on foreign-born murderers in Ireland therefore depends on whether one considers Finn Yowell an Irishman. Even if one decides Yowell should not be included in the statistic, that would still leave the overwhelming majority of murderers being foreign-born.

It is very difficult to find reliable statistics on migrant crime in Europe because the majority of the national authorities and many of the local authorities specifically try to cover up that reality in order to justify continued mass migration. But whenever data from a criminal category or city actually slips through the cracks of the cover-up, it always tells a very disturbing story. The reality is that immigrants, most especially Muslim male immigrants, have long been driving crime in many European countries, particularly violent and sexual crime. That certainly seems to be true this year in Ireland when it comes to female murder victims.

Majority of Gang Rape Suspects in Germany Are Foreign Nationals

The majority of suspects in gang rapes in Germany are foreign nationals, according to government statistics, meaning that they are significantly more likely than their native German counterparts to take part in the horrific crime.

Last year, there were 751 instances of gang rape reported throughout Germany, according to police crime statistics released following a parliamentary request from the anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in the Bundestag.

The paper of record, Die Welt, reported that 53 per cent or 574 suspects in such cases were foreign nationals, including 110 who hailed from Syria, 64 from Afghanistan, 46 from Iraq, and 44 from Turkey.

In comparison, 509 suspects were said to have German citizenship. This potentially means that the impact of immigration on the issue may be greater still, given that the police did not record circumstances in which suspects were migrants who became naturalised as German citizens.

On the other side of the coin, 80 per cent of gang rape victims were German citizens. According to the figures, there were 772 alleged victims of gang rape last year, including 693 women and 79 men.

The most cases were recorded in North Rhine-Westphalia, the country’s most populous state, with 161 cases. This was followed by 118 in Berlin, 113 in Lower Saxony, and 91 in Bavaria.

It’s Time To Stop Pretending That Migrants Are Entitled To Equal Citizenship

Yet another civil conflict is brewing this week as the Supreme Court tackles a number of foreign citizenship debates, including Temporary Protection Status (TPS) and Birthright Citizenship. The court has ruled that hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian migrants residing in the US under TPS are no longer safe from mass deportations (a win). But, they have also ruled in favor of migrant anchor babies (a big loss).

Both issues deal with changing American perceptions on what is “constitutional” when it comes to foreign access to citizenship. The Supreme Court’s decisions aside, I find it mind boggling that this debate has been ongoing for so many decades. Frankly, foreigners should not have any citizenship rights under the constitution until they have demonstrated assimilation. Until that time, there should be a separate set of rules handling newcomers (and invaders).

When it comes to TPS and the Haitians, the leftists are raging. Despite this status supposedly being “temporary” (the Obama Administration originally claimed these people would only be in the US for 18 months), many of these foreign transplants have been enjoying the benefits of unearned American citizenship for 16 years or more.  Yet, when Haitians protest the TPS decision, what flag do you see them flying?  That’s right – They fly the Haitian flag, not the American flag.  This tells us everything we need to know.

The liberal position on this issue is crystal clear: They believe that the constitution protects foreign migrants and their cultures from overt scrutiny. Meaning, foreigners don’t have to prove themselves worthy of citizenship, they get access regardless. Liberals also believe that it should be extremely difficult to remove migrants once they enter the country.

Keep in mind, this is the LIBERAL position. The woke position is far worse.

The radical left argues that western borders should not exist at all. For other countries, borders are fine. For the US and Europe, borders must be erased. Furthermore, they assert that the American economy must be treated as an open marketplace rather than a closed system. In other words, foreigners should be allowed to feed on the system whenever they please, transfer that wealth back to their third world hovels, and then come back for more.

The “empathetic” liberal position creates the foundation for the militant woke position. It’s rooted in a propaganda narrative created in the early 20th century: The claim that America’s entire identity is a “melting pot” of cultures and nationalities and that there is no original source identity. This false origin story was produced by New York socialists and it’s been spread by Hollywood for decades.

The famous poem called “The Colossus” imprinted on the Statue of Liberty is often used to elevate the melting pot myth. It was added in 1903, over 20 years after the statue was built. It’s author, Emma Lazarus, was a Zionist feminist with ties to numerous socialist movements. The fantasy of the melting pot of “huddled masses yearning to breathe free” was then popularized heavily in the 1960s and 1970s by far-left activist groups and the establishment media.

The melting pot is not our identity and never was. Historically speaking, America has always had a guarded relationship to immigration and we operated on “origin-based rules”. Meaning, Europeans from the north and west were welcomed, everyone else was limited. There was nothing wrong with this model.

America’s source identity is western civilization and European influence. There is no cultural melting pot.

London Police Accused of Letting Algerian Attempted Rapist Walk Free After Being Caught ‘Red Handed’ Near Buckingham Palace

London’s Metropolitan Police officers have been accused by a judge of letting an attempted rapist go after being caught “red-handed” outside Buckingham Palace, the trial of the migrant has revealed.

In the early morning of Sept 7, 2024, Algerian migrant Ramzi Barkat, 54, came upon a woman in St James’s Park, attempted to flirt with her, and when he was shot down, tackled and “straddled” her while holding down her wrists.

Fortunately for the woman, three nearby soldiers heard her screams and prevented Barkat from going further.

However, despite the apparent risk he posed to the public, police chose to release the Algerian migrant on bail or under investigation after the victim was interviewed, The Telegraph reported.

Judge Justin Cole of the Southwark Crown Court accused the police of a “catalogue of incompetencies” during the incident.

“He was simply let go in a situation in which frankly he had been caught red-handed and presented a continuing danger to the public,” Judge Cole said.

“The bottom line is this man was set free for a period of a year, a year to do what he likes, in a situation where he had attacked a lone female in a park. The public would be appalled to hear of such laxity.”

“The public would be appalled to hear of such laxity.”

The revelations came during this week’s sentencing hearing for Barkat, who was jailed for seven years and three months on Friday. Judge Coles said that Barkat “sought to take advantage of a lone vulnerable woman” and “acted like a predator”.

In addition to being found guilty of attempted rape, Barkat was also found guilty of assaulting one of the soldiers who prevented the rape, The Independent reported.

The Algerian migrant had claimed that he was merely attempting to steal the woman’s phone. On top of his prison sentence, he received a 10-year restraining order and a 10-year sexual harm prevention order.

California Is Actively Recruiting Noncitizen Teenagers to Serve as Poll Workers in Elections

California has once again ignited concerns over election integrity after revelations that the state is recruiting noncitizen teenagers to work inside polling places during elections.

Natalie Winters first reported this outrageous development out of the Golden State.

Green card holders as young as 16, noncitizens who cannot legally vote in American elections, are being recruited to check voters off official rosters, distribute ballots, handle election equipment, assist voters, and help close polling locations.

The state admits it does not fully track how many of these noncitizen teenagers are being used in these sensitive positions of trust.

This is not a hypothetical. This is happening right now in Democrat-run California.

Natalie Winters reported:

Documents reviewed by this publication reveal that California officials are directing public schools to identify teenagers as young as 16 to work inside polling locations during the November 2026 election, including lawful permanent residents who are not United States citizens.

These students are not being enlisted to hand out stickers or direct voters toward the entrance. County election agencies say they may issue ballots, check voters off official rosters, help operate election equipment, assist voters throughout the day, prepare ballots for pickup, and participate in closing polling locations.

In other words, California has made citizenship optional for the people performing frontline election duties.

The recruitment campaign appears in a June 30 letter signed by California Secretary of State Shirley Weber and State Superintendent Tony Thurmond and distributed to county superintendents, charter school administrators, and high school principals across the state.

The officials ask schools to provide their campuses as voting locations and encourage students to become poll workers for the November 3 general election.

“High school students who are at least 16 years of age, are U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents, and maintain a 2.5 grade point average are eligible to serve as poll workers,” the letter states.
