CHANGE? Trump targets birth tourism and citizenship in new executive orders.

Trump’s administration argues that the ruling still grants him the authority to limit birthright citizenship under longstanding exceptions recognized by the court. The executive orders only apply only to future births tied to four categories:

Children born of foreign diplomatic staff working on behalf of another government while in the U.S. The 14th Amendment doesn’t confer automatic citizenship on ambassadors’ families, and this order would expand that category to other noncitizen employees.

Children of people who are classified as alien enemies, including those who belong to federally declared terrorist groups. The 14th Amendment doesn’t apply to invading armies, and this designation would expand that category.

Those born in U.S. territories — but only if Congress changes the law to end automatic citizenship there. A bill seeking to do that was introduced last month but isn’t expected to pass. This would apply most notably to those in Puerto Rico.

Children born of mothers who expressly and deceptively enter the U.S. for the sole purpose of having a child here, namely at a birth-tourism center. The order seeks to limit the use of surrogate mothers for this purpose as well.

Will they hold up in court?

ANALYSIS: TRUE. The Problem Is Not Just DEI or Academic Fraud; Academic Standards Are Gone.

GOOD QUESTION: Is Schumer on the Ropes Amid Far-Left Romp in Democrat Primaries?

The latest and perhaps biggest blow to Schumer & Co. came on Tuesday night in Michigan, where progressive upstart Abdul El-Sayed defeated Rep. Haley Stevens in the Democrat Senate primary.

It is difficult to overstate how much of a disaster the contest was for the Democrat establishment and for Schumer personally. Schumer effectively endorsed Stevens and rallied his allies to sink nearly $65 million into her campaign. Stevens also had the endorsement of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and outgoing Democrat Senator Gary Peters.

El-Sayed won anyway, and if he wins in November (by no means a sure thing, but still plausible), Schumer will have another major detractor in the Senate. El-Sayed has made no effort to hide the fact that he’s not a fan of the 75-year-old New Yorker and would like to see new leadership atop the caucus.

“If you’re Chuck Schumer, I’m pretty damn dangerous,” El-Sayed declared during a campaign event late last month. On another occasion, El-Sayed promised that he would not vote for Schumer for leader and has indicated that he plans to back progressive Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen.

Following El-Sayed’s victory, Schumer attempted to extend the olive branch and project unity ahead of the general election. “We are a big tent party,” Schumer told reporters when asked about the race. But that cordiality is unlikely to last if El-Sayed ever makes it to the Senate.

Schumer’s fecklessness only encourages them.
