  1. Ban pregnant women from obtaining US visas until after they deliver. Then watch the scramble to change the birthright laws.

  2. And why didn’t it pass then?? Republicans voting against it because a Democrat was pushing it?? Would be good to know.

    1. That’s a reasonable question. Reid’s bout of sanity was only temporary. The AI response to my question was as follows:
      In 1993, then-Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) introduced the Immigration Stabilization Act of 1993. The bill sought to end birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants by clarifying the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment.The bill failed because it stalled in the Senate Judiciary Committee—then chaired by Sen. Joe Biden—without receiving any hearings, markups, or votes.
      Senator Reid later regretted introducing the bill. He publicly called it a mistake and referred to his past stance on immigration as “the low point of [his] governmental career”.

      The reason it did not pass goes back to the time of the Reagan-Bush Crime Family. The Dead Elephant Party backers (read the Koch Brothers and the US Chamber of Commerce) wanted cheap, union-busting labor. The Socialism-Abortion-Chappaquiddick Party wanted legions of ignorant voters. FIFY.

    I read in the book “The South Was Right” that when the 14th amendment was crafted, the Southern States were still outside of the union.
    The yankee congress couldn’t get enough votes to pass this abomination, so they told the Southern States if they were to be part of the union again that they had to vote on this amendment.
    Since the South wasn’t part of the united states, how could they vote on any amendments or laws? The South for all intents and purposes was a foreign nation voting in another country’s affairs.

    1. No. The states in the Confederacy voted against the 14th amendment except Tennessee. These states were then ejected from the union with no rights. Their readmittence back into the union was conditional on agreeing to signing off on the 14th amendment.
