Birthright Citizenship: A Fundamental Misunderstanding of the 14th Amendment
- Details
- By Hans A. von Spakovsky - Heritage Foundation
Heritage Foundation - What’s the citizenship status of the children of illegal aliens? That question has spurred quite a debate over the 14th Amendment lately, with the news that several states—including Pennsylvania, Arizona, Oklahoma, Georgia, and South Carolina—may launch efforts to deny automatic citizenship to such children.
Critics claim that anyone born in the United States is automatically a U.S. citizen, even if their parents are here illegally. But that ignores the text and legislative history of the 14th Amendment, which was ratified in 1868 to extend citizenship to freed slaves and their children.

As the almost 50-day partial shutdown drags on, travelers have definitely found some creative coping mechanisms for their long waits at U.S. airports. In Houston, one man went viral for walking up and down the security line with a vodka bottle, pouring shots for annoyed adults. Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson brought in live entertainment, a violinist who was supposed to ease some of the tension. “[A] violin playing like on the deck of the Titanic. Is it that bad?” one passenger joked. And in Baltimore, volunteers passed out “pick-me-up snacks.” Now that TSA workers are finally getting paid, Americans’ aggravation is starting to subside — just not where Congress is concerned.

Today, the Supreme Court issued an opinion that removes the gag from the mouths of Christian counselors by upholding their First Amendment right to free speech.
This decision gives parents and children access to therapy that aligns with their personal and religious views. The Court struck down Colorado’s unconstitutional censorship law that prevented counselors from engaging in voluntary therapy that provides truthful information about bodily reality. The decision in Chiles v. Salazar reaffirms the important principle that counseling conversations are speech protected by the First Amendment. The Court’s 8-1 decision makes clear that “the First Amendment’s protections extend to licensed professionals much as they do everyone else.”

Sometimes it may take many years, but finally the lies are exposed, the halos crash to the ground and vindication is awarded to the truth tellers. Pardon me if I am feeling a bit of satisfaction from some shocking revelations – finally! Let me start with some details of personal events from years ago.
In the 1970s I was a dedicated activist of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) the largest conservative youth activist group in the nation. I became state chairman of the Ohio branch. It was a time of major Leftist activity on college campuses, including antiwar demonstrations and violent riots. It was the beginning of the drive for the radical agenda we face today.

GREENVILLE COUNTY, SC — The latest Back-to-Basics Breakfast, hosted by the Palmetto Conservative Fund, served up a multi-layered look at the current state of governance in Greenville County and beyond, as local leadership, statewide candidates, and engaged citizens worked through a wide range of issues in real time. The format, which blends prepared remarks with open questioning, revealed not only policy priorities but also the underlying tensions that come with rapid growth, shifting political alignments, and competing expectations between government and the public.
Blount Serves Up County Realities and Growth Pressures
Greenville County Council Chairman Benton Blount opened the discussion by grounding the audience in the practical realities of county government. His remarks reflected both an effort to communicate recent accomplishments and an acknowledgment that many residents remain frustrated or confused about how county decisions affect their daily lives. Thanking the organizers and attendees, Blount emphasized the purpose of the event itself.
“This is a great event… I think it’s a great way to plug the public into what’s going on at all levels of government.”
Residency Lawsuit Against Greenville Councilman Ennis Fant Expands into Criminal Review Dispute

- By James Spurck, Publisher
Ongoing litigation now involves a SLED investigation, prosecutorial review, and state-level involvement
A March 25 hearing in Greenville County Court of Common Pleas brought the residency dispute involving Councilman Ennis Fant into sharper focus, as attorneys presented a series of motions tied to both the underlying claim and access to evidence.
According to information from those present in the courtroom, the hearing involved as many as nine separate motions that were argued between the plaintiff and multiple defendants, including Fant. The volume of motions reflects how the case has expanded beyond a single residency question into a broader legal contest over evidence, procedure, and the scope of the court’s review.
Arguments during the hearing addressed disputes over discovery, including efforts to obtain materials connected to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division investigation into Fant’s residency, as well as records the plaintiff contends would help establish where Fant resides. Those records include bank documents, utility records, and information from the South Carolina Department of Revenue. Attorneys argued that some of those materials, including records reviewed by prosecutors, had not been produced, placing access to key evidence at the center of the dispute as the case moves forward.
