Finally, a Fourteenth Amendment challenge makes it to our Supreme Court! This is in line with my long-held belief against these birthright citizenship rulings, which reward every lawbreaker whoseeks for her child to be born in “the land of plenty.” What should have been a Congress-enacted, time-restricted law, ensuring all the rights and freedoms of ...

Somalis are getting a lot of much-needed attention in places like Minnesota and Maine, where they’ve walked off with billions in taxpayer dollars through coordinated acts of fraud.
