Oversight Project Unveils Deportation Plan After 6-3 Birthright Citizenship Ruling
3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 1
Summary
The Oversight Project released a “Keeping Families Together Plan” that calls for stepped-up deportations and new curbs on birth tourism after the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling affirming birthright citizenship.
The proposal argues the ruling protects citizenship for U.S.-born children but not legal status for their parents, and urges worksite raids, deporting parents so children leave with them, and placing ICE at hospitals to deter births.
China is a central target in the plan, which backs DOJ action against birth-tourism schemes, visa suspensions for countries tied to the practice, and a possible congressional tax penalty modeled on the ObamaCare ruling.
The White House said Trump directed Congress to act after the decision and would intensify border security and deportations, while DHS said it has deported more than 948,000 people and arrested over 981,000 as of June 24.
Republican lawmakers have floated constitutional amendments to overturn the ruling, but the report said those efforts currently appear politically untenable.
