About this episode

Dr. Kevin Roberts and co-host Larry O'Connor discuss the birthright citizenship debate and its implications for American identity and national security.

Who gets to be an American? This week, Dr. Kevin Roberts and co-host Larry O'Connor break down one of the most important debates in America today: birthright citizenship. With President Trump’s executive order challenging automatic citizenship for children born to non-citizens now before the Supreme Court, they explore the original meaning of the 14th Amendment, the rapid rise of birth tourism, its serious national security implications, and the striking statistic that nearly 10% of babies born in the U.S. are to foreign citizens. They also examine how these policies contribute to higher housing costs and labor competition while addressing the deeper question of what it truly means to be an American and how the nation can preserve its sovereignty, rule of law, and national identity.
