People say to me from time to time Randy, you don't like him and you just are against immigration And I look him dead center. I said no, I'm not I wouldn't be here without it My grandfather and my great-grandfather came over from Germany on the boat in 1903. We have the manifest My grandmother into Texas my went through New York came to Texas. My grandmother's family came over in 1845 and settled in Central, Texas Hey, if that hadn't happened, I wouldn't even be here, but folks they did it legally So I want to thank you all again for bringing this up dr. Babin this birthright citizenship act. Let me tell you something The radical left is going to lose their friggin minds over this. I can't wait for it they're spending the same tired narrative calling president Trump and Republicans heartless and cruel and Inhumane for daring to address the issue of birthright citizenship and now 22 states are suing to block Republicans from overturning this deeply flawed policy Let me tell you the policy is so deeply flawed if you've read the 14th amendment if you remember the time frame that it took Place in I'll give you all a math quiz 14th amendment can any of y'all tell me which amendment proceeded the 14th amendment any math majors out there? Of course the 13th amendment which abolished slavery the intent of our founders and our members of Congress back then was to make sure that African-Americans got a place in America now I've talked to judges some of them in Congress as well No birthright citizenship is citizenship is part of the 14th Amendment.

They also ruled that Negroes could use separate but equal Bathrooms, I think was Brown versus Board of Education and then they ruled in Roe v. Wade in 1973 It's okay to kill unborn children Thus courts don't always get it right. Here's the truth. The 14th Amendment was never Intended to serve as a blank check for illegal immigration It was never intended to grant citizenship to the children of people who broke our laws to get in this in the first place well This isn't just about immigration people. This is about defending our sovereignty Respecting the rule of the law and ultimately standing up for the American taxpayer Who funds all this stuff? It's high time for common sense for us to make a comeback. We need to put American citizens first Prioritizing their safety their opportunities and their futures. That's why I'm proud to stand here with dr Babin president Trump Andy Biggs and my Republican colleagues in this fight We are working to pass the birthright citizenship act and enforce President Trump's executive order to end this madness once for all So very much depends on it Americans America's sovereignty matters American taxpayers matter American families matter. It's time to fix his broken system and put America first. I yield back
