Government watchdog targets ‘weapons of mass reproduction’ after Supreme Court ruling
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A top government watchdog group 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.
Conservatives across the country criticized Chief Justice John Roberts, Associate Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh, along with the court’s three liberal justices, arguing that the ruling opens the door to citizenship for children born to foreign nationals illegally present in the U.S. and dilutes American citizenship.
The Oversight Project shared its «Keeping Families Together Plan» with Fox News Digital, arguing the ruling did not grant legal status to the parents of so-called anchor babies, a premise central to its proposal.
«Now that the illegal alien community has achieved weapons of mass reproduction… you need to turn off that multiplying effect. And if the goal of mass deportation is quantitative, which of course it is, you need go [to] places where legal immigration spreads the most or is concentrated the most,» said Mike Howell, an attorney and president of the Oversight Project.

«That’s why I’ve advocated so long for worksite enforcement,» he said, noting farms and factories need enforcement rather than «playing onesies and twosies» in sanctuary cities.
An increase in deportations, particularly of the parents of potential anchor babies, is key now that unfettered naturalization is a real possibility, he added.

«Go to ‘red’ places and deport.»
By deporting parents of so-called «anchor babies,» in most cases the child would be deported with the parent — and if not, that parent would have the «moral onus» of abandoning the child, Howell said.
«If you are truly committed to the idea that birthright citizenship is absurd in its application, then it should be preventative,» he added, saying part of the plan to keep foreign families together would entail throwing roadblocks up to pregnant foreigners having children in the U.S.
Positioning ICE at certain hospitals would help prevent that, he said.
Turning to combating «birth tourism» — in which organizations help foreign nationals travel to the U.S. for the purpose of giving birth to U.S.-citizen children — Howell said China is the biggest source of the practice and other economic threats.
Asked how to thread the needle with the U.S.’ economic reliance on Beijing, Howell said Tuesday’s ruling shows it is time to play «hardball.»
He criticized President Donald Trump’s blessing of thousands of Chinese students continuing to study in America, which, in Howell’s words, would «prop up our failing university system.»
«The elite regions of [China’s] upper class love access to the U.S. financial system and coming here and taking advantage of it. And so if you’re negotiating and it’s the art of the deal… take away the thing they want.»
Howell claimed one Chinese billionaire has been «shipping his sperm» to California to inseminate women, resulting in children being born with U.S. citizenship.
«What kind of serious country allows [that],» he said. Reports from outlets including Fortune have described wealthy Chinese businessmen engaging in repeated surrogacy arrangements involving American women.
Howell said that despite talk of President Donald Trump’s «mass deportation» agenda, the numbers don’t match the boasts so far.
«The fact remains there isn’t a mass deportation campaign underway. And that’s why we’ve been pushing this Mass Deportation Coalition, which has so many members across the country and a policy framework for them to do it,» he said, acknowledging that Trump has had «special interests» buffeting his attempts because they don’t want their workforces deported, and setbacks like the public outcry over agent-involved shootings in Minneapolis that led to «cold feet.»
Asked about the Oversight Project’s plan and Howell’s comments, the White House said Trump remains «totally committed» to protecting the «value of natural-born citizenship.»
«[That] is why, following yesterday’s ruling, he directed Congress to take immediate action to address this. Simultaneously, the administration will double down on our efforts to keep the border secure and deport illegal aliens.»
Spokesperson Abigail Jackson added that the DOJ will prioritize birth-tourism schemes, some of which Howell laid out.
Howell’s plan also includes a veiled shot at Roberts — who, despite being a Republican’s appointee, is often the swing vote in favor of the court’s liberal minority as he was Tuesday.
The George W. Bush appointee famously roiled Republicans after deeming ObamaCare constitutional by defining its no-insurance penalty as a «tax,» while writing in the same 2012 ruling that Congress could not force Americans to buy insurance.
«The question is not whether that is the most natural interpretation of the mandate, but only whether it is a ‘fairly possible’ one,» Roberts wrote in NFIB v. Sebelius.
Howell said lawmakers could therefore create a mechanism through congressional reconciliation to punish birth-tourists — but define the penalty as a «tax.»
«Much like the ObamaCare plan being upheld as a tax by the Supreme Court, this would survive constitutional scrutiny,» the Oversight Project’s plan read.
The plan also goes farther, calling on DHS to suspend all visas for countries like China that engage in birth tourism.
SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER
The key, Howell said, is to start ignoring the noise from the left and from critics and power through the end of the congressional term with attainable goals in mind no matter how controversial critics say they are.
«We took a hit today, a big hit, but the damage can be mitigated and the overall problem can be solved with a lot political backbone and using the money from the Big Beautiful Bill quickly and without fear of what the left-wing media might say about it,» he said.
«Reconciliation is a beautiful vehicle to achieve those kind of cost-cutting measures. ObamaCare was a tax. The rule is a tax, so why can’t we use a tax here? I’m sure the legal pundits will have much to say about that one,» Howell remarked.
«But by any hook, nook, or cranny, we need to fight this policy,» he went on, adding the mainstream media and some moderates will be lambasting the social repercussions of the plan.
«If the administration’s going to take to the airwaves and say this is like a disgraceful ruling that undermines our sovereignty, then they need to act.»
«The suburban moms will be angry. They will say all that kind of stuff. But I want them to follow through because there’s 77 million Americans who sent Trump back to the White House after everything we went through.»

In the interim, Rep. Andy Ogles IV, R-Tenn., and Sens. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., and Rand Paul, R-Ky., have unveiled constitutional amendment proposals to overturn the court’s ruling, though observers say the efforts appear politically untenable at present.
When asked about characterizations of DHS’ efforts, an agency spokesperson told Fox News Digital, «we disagree with the ruling. Congress must get to work to end birthright citizenship immediately.»
«In President Trump’s first year back in office, more than 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S. because of the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration including an estimated 2.2 million self-deportations. As of June 24, we have now deported over 948,000 illegal aliens and arrested over 981,000 illegal aliens,» the spokesperson said, adding that since the first day of Trump’s administration, DHS has been delivering on the promise to «Make America Safe Again» and more than 3 million have been deported.
«Our message is clear: if you come to our country illegally, we will find you, we will arrest you, and we will deport you.»

Furia en Venezuela con las fuerzas de seguridad: robos, borrachos y poca colaboración con las víctimas de los terremotos
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., has a plan to snuff out a multibillion-dollar global industry.
Scott is one of several Republicans racing to ram birthright citizenship tweaks through Congress after the Supreme Court’s bombshell ruling blocking the Trump administration’s effort to limit the right and President Donald Trump’s call for lawmakers to quickly respond.
Despite an increasingly crowded field of legislation, Scott argued in an interview with Fox News Digital that his approach to halt birth tourism could work, even with Democrats.

«The whole concept of the 14th Amendment, that ‘under the jurisdiction thereof,’ if you are on vacation in America, you certainly should not have a child while you’re here and think in any way, shape or form that kid is going to somehow, some way be an American citizen,» Scott said.
«That’s just illogical. I would just say look at it from the mirror perspective,» he continued. «If you did that in any other country, would that child in that country become a citizen of that country? The answer is no.»
Scott’s legislation, which is still being drafted, would target tourism visas and any child born in the U.S. to a woman with said visa from becoming an American citizen.

His legislation is «designed specifically to get to the president’s desk to sign into law,» a tacit acknowledgment that in the Senate, he will need Democratic support to put a dent into the issue.
«That means that Democrats cannot have any opposition to this notion that thousands of companies having hundreds of thousands of women come to this country to have a baby so that they leave with an American citizen,» Scott said.
«We should break that whole cycle, destroy it in its infancy by not allowing it to exist at all,» he continued. «And that to me is the best approach.»

Trump said he would prefer legislation over a «long and unwieldy» constitutional amendment, which has been floated by a handful of Senate Republicans, including Sens. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., and Rand Paul, R-Ky.
Tackling the 14th Amendment completely is something Scott said he’d do, but he acknowledged that it’s not «possible in the current political environment.»
«What is possible is for us to recognize that if you’re here temporarily, and you know you’re here temporarily, you should not leave with an American citizen as your child just because you gave birth on our soil,» Scott said.
Meanwhile, in the House, there’s another approach led by Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn.
Ogles, a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, unveiled legislation Wednesday that would allow the government to bar pregnant foreigners from entering the United States.

The Tennessee Republican says the measure, dubbed the Anchors Away Act, is necessary to crack down on the birth tourism industry, in which foreigners give birth on U.S. soil so that their children obtain U.S. citizenship.
However, the legislation faces steep obstacles to clearing Congress, and it is unclear whether the bill would get a floor vote in the House amid Republicans’ razor-thin majority.
«This is a conversation that I’m starting that I’m a champion of,» Ogles told Fox News Digital in an interview. «I’m working with the White House. And as long as it takes to get it done, I’ll be here to fight for it.»

Ogles has also authored the Assimilation Act, legislation that would impose vast changes to the legal immigration system by ending birthright citizenship, requiring employers to implement E-Verify and scrapping the green-card lottery, among other provisions. The Tennessee lawmaker’s recently introduced Remigration Act would allow the government to denaturalize individuals convicted of certain crimes, including defrauding the government.
«What we’ve seen over the last several decades is that Congress, quite frankly, has delegated its right to legislate to the Supreme Court,» Ogles said. «So this actually creates the opportunity for Congress to do its job. To define what it is to be a naturalized citizen, to define who can and cannot come into this country, because as the legislative body, we are the ones that are supposed to make those decisions.»

Desafío al Vaticano: los “lefebvrianos” ordenaron cuatro nuevos obispos y tensaron la relación con el papa León XIV
La Fraternidad San Pío X consagró este miércoles por su cuenta a cuatro nuevos obispos en una ceremonia en Suiza. Se trata de un acto “cismático”, según el papa León XIV, que pidió a esta comunidad tradicionalista que renunciara a su proyecto.
En una ceremonia en la pradera suiza de Écône, adonde asistieron miles de fieles de todo el mundo, la comunidad consagró a cuatro obispos: dos franceses, un estadounidense y un suizo.
El superior general de la comunidad, el sacerdote Davide Pagliarani, dijo en su homilía que se trataba de un día “histórico”.
“Dios me trajo acá”
Luz Dussan, una fiel colombiana de 57 años, viajó desde Estados Unidos para la ceremonia.
“Pensé que nunca en la vida viviría esto, pero mira, Dios me trajo acá”, declaró.

“No importa lo que digan los demás del mundo. Estoy feliz de lo que ha hecho la fraternidad, de verdad que se merecen los cuatro obispos, porque realmente estamos creciendo. La comunidad latina sobre todo está creciendo en la fraternidad”, agregó.
Al seguir adelante sin la aprobación del pontífice, los dos obispos con que contaba la comunidad y los cuatro obispos consagrados en la jornada quedan de hecho excomulgados de la Iglesia católica romana.

Sin embargo, al inicio de la ceremonia, el secretario general de la sociedad, Foucault Leroux, dijo que ellos consideraban “que todas las penas y censuras (…) son nulas y sin efecto”.
Quiénes son los “lefebvrianos”
La comunidad, fundada en 1970 por el obispo francés Marcel Lefebvre (1905-1991), agrupa a unos 600.000 fieles, según estimaciones, que se rigen por una interpretación estricta de la tradición doctrinal y litúrgica.
Rechaza en su conjunto los avances de la Iglesia desde el Concilio Vaticano II (en la década de 1960), defiende un modelo de sociedad patriarcal y un ideal de Estado teocrático.
“Para mantener la fe, ¿acaso estamos rompiendo con la Iglesia? Este dilema es falso. Pertenecemos a la Iglesia, en primer lugar por la fe, por la profesión integral de la fe de la Iglesia”, afirmó Pagliarani.
La misa de consagración, de cuatro horas y enteramente en latín, se organizó al aire libre en la pradera de Écône, en el mismo lugar donde Lefebvre consagró a los primeros cuatro obispos de su comunidad, en 1988.
En la ceremonia, los cuatro sacerdotes yacían boca abajo en el suelo mientras se cantaba la Letanía de los Santos, antes de recibir la imposición de manos del obispo, el momento clave, seguido de la unción.
“Nada cismático”
Para el Vaticano, consagrar a un obispo sin el acuerdo del papa es un acto de insubordinación directa que conlleva la excomunión automática de los obispos y constituye un “acto cismático”.
“Les suplico desde el fondo de mi corazón: ¡reconsideren su decisión!”, escribió recientemente León XIV en una carta dirigida a Pagliarani, superior general de la Fraternidad.
En su misiva, el papa advirtió que, en caso de cisma, los sacramentos, como el matrimonio o la confesión, administrados por los obispos dejarían de ser reconocidos por la Iglesia católica.
“No es un acto de rebelión: es un acto que nace del amor por la Iglesia”, dijo el sacerdote Michel Rion, profesor de Teología en el seminario de Écône.
“No hay absolutamente nada cismático o contrario a la Iglesia en nuestras acciones. Esperamos que llegue el día en el que el papa vea esto. Para nosotros, ser cismáticos es lo peor que podría ocurrir, preferiríamos morir a ser cismáticos”, insistió.

En 1988 el papa Juan Pablo II hizo un llamado similar a la Fraternidad para disuadirla de ordenar nuevos obispos. Fue en vano. La ordenación provocó una excomunión inmediata, que fue levantada en 2009 por Benedicto XVI.
La comunidad afirma estar presente en más de 75 países de seis continentes, con más de 750 sacerdotes.
La Fraternidad San Pío X es influyente en ciertos círculos conservadores, y cuenta hoy día con 751 sacerdotes, 264 seminaristas y cerca de 800 lugares de culto repartidos por 77 países.
No obstante, es muy minoritaria dentro del catolicismo, que cuenta con más de 1.300 millones de fieles en todo el mundo.
