The deep flaw in current citizenship rules isn’t just bad policy, it’s being exploited by criminals.

When Trump is sworn in, one of the changes he’s planning to make is to revert to the ORIGINAL constitutional definition of citizenship. It’s not enough to be born here… the parent has to be here lawfully under specific legal conditions.

It’s not really all that controversial. If a diplomat has a child while abroad, the child is a citizen of the home country, not the country they’re visiting. If a child is born on base while overseas, it’s the same issue.

Trump is promising to flip America’s official citizenship policy so that being born in on American soil isn’t an automatic citizenship. That, together with ending chain migration will be a huge change to immigration policy.

Just this week was a conviction that highlights why Trump has the right idea here.

A San Bernardino County man was sentenced today to 41 months in federal prison for operating a “birth tourism” scheme that charged Chinese clients tens of thousands of dollars to help them give birth in the United States to obtain birthright U.S. citizenship for their children.

Michael Wei Yueh Liu (刘维岳), 59, of Rancho Cucamonga, was sentenced by United States District Judge R. Gary Klausner.

At the conclusion of a four-day trial, a jury on September 13 found Liu and Jing Dong, (董晶), 47, of Rancho Cucamonga, guilty of one count of conspiracy and 10 counts of international money laundering. Dong is expected to be sentenced in the coming weeks.

From at least January 2012 to March 2015, Liu and Dong ran a maternity house in Rancho Cucamonga. Liu and Dong rented apartments in Southern California to provide short-term housing and provided other services to pregnant women from China who traveled to the United States to give birth so their children would acquire U.S. citizenship. Typically, within one or two months after giving birth, the women returned to China.

Among the services Liu and Dong provided were assistance on how to obtain visas to enter the United States, customs entry guidance, housing, and transportation in the United States, as well as assistance applying for U.S. legal documents for the children of their customers. — DOJ

Ironic how people like Liu and Jing Dong realize that American citizenship is something uniquely valuable… but so many American politicians haven’t clued in to that fact.

John The Baptist: A Rude Awakening Precedes A Great Awakening.

This timely little tome chronicles the politically incorrect ministry of one of God’s most effective wildmen, John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Christ’s ministry.

The abrasive message of repentance John preached 2000 years ago is still confrontational and offensive today — but it is also life-changing.

In our putrid, worldly culture that has turned away from God, this book is a must-read for every Christian.

Available in paperback for those of you who like the feel of the pages in your hot, little hands, on Kindle to keep it right at your fingertips, and as an epic Audiobook.
