Shermichael Singleton absolutely schools the CNN panel on birthright citizenship. He drops the receipts showing that Democrats once agreed it was a loophole Congress needed to shut down. SINGLETON: “Philosophically, I fundamentally disagree with the court on this. To me, I go back to subject to the jurisdiction of,... going back to the original intent of the 1866 Civil Rights Act forward the 14th Amendment being passed.” “What was it to address? What was it to codify?” “It was freed slaves who did not have citizenship. It wasn’t freed slaves and any and everybody else across the globe.” “Of the 27 EU countries, NONE of them, none of the civilized Western countries allow or permit unconditional immigration. None of the Western countries allow it. With the exception of the United States and Canada.” “Now, that is not to say that we should not have an immigration policy where we welcome people. I think we absolutely should. It’s made our country very strong.” “But does it mean we should allow anyone to just come into the country, merely have a child and that child be granted citizenship? I would say not.” “And in fact, Democrats actually believed the same thing.” “You go back to 1993 when Harry Reid introduced Immigration Stabilization Act. His argument at the time was, you’re allowing people to take advantage of our country.” “Senator Dianne Feinstein agreed at the time. Several other Democrats agreed at the time.” “So once upon a time, there was bipartisan support that this is a problem that should be addressed by Congress.” “Now, I would agree that the that the executive branch should not have carte Blanche authority to just do whatever he or she will...I would agree there.” “But Congress needs to act on this by passing an amendment, again, I disagree with the interpretation by the court.” Shermichael Singletonshow more
