In the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling Tuesday on birthright citizenship, two aggressive dynamics reveal the toll of illegal immigration on the nation: a congressional hearing that pitted a Democrat and Republican as loved ones of victims of illegal immigration sobbed in the gallery, and Border Czar Tom Homan promising to ramp up efforts to target and investigate crimes related to birth tourism.
"Now we step up enforcement," Homan said Tuesday. "Even though we're doing record amounts of enforcement now, we need to do more. And not only that, we need to buckle down on birth tourism. We have many investigations into birth tourism, but we need to triple, quadruple down on this."
His comments came hours after the Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship, upholding the interpretation that the 14th Amendment guarantees that children born on U.S. soil are citizens.
