A top government watchdog group has released a multipoint plan to protect the homeland and the integrity of U.S. citizenship after the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling affirming birthright citizenship as enshrined in federal law. The plan, called the ‘Keeping Families Together Plan,’ aims to prevent the exploitation of birthright citizenship by illegal immigrants and to promote worksite enforcement.

Background

Conservatives across the country have criticized the Supreme Court’s ruling, arguing that it opens the door to citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants and dilutes American citizenship. The Oversight Project’s plan includes increasing deportations, particularly of the parents of potential ‘anchor babies,’ and suspending all visas for countries that engage in ‘birth tourism.’

Mike Howell, an attorney and president of the Oversight Project, said that the plan is necessary to prevent the exploitation of birthright citizenship and to protect the value of U.S. citizenship. ‘Now that the illegal immigrant community has achieved weapons of mass reproduction… you need to turn off that multiplying effect,’ he said.

Proposed Solutions

The plan also includes positioning ICE at certain hospitals to prevent ‘birth tourism’ and creating a mechanism through congressional reconciliation to punish ‘birth tourists’ by defining the penalty as a ‘tax.’ The plan goes further, calling on DHS to suspend all visas for countries like China that engage in ‘birth tourism.’

The White House has stated that President Trump remains ‘totally committed’ to protecting the value of natural-born citizenship and has directed Congress to take immediate action to address the issue.
