Efforts to reform the judicial branch are about ensuring that the American people remain sovereign and that no unelected branch of government can unilaterally dictate the nation’s destiny.

The unchecked proliferation of nationwide injunctions issued by rogue federal judges represents a dire threat to the American constitutional order. It undermines the separation of powers, empowers ideologues at the expense of citizens, and creates policy chaos through deliberate attempts to usurp the authority of both the Legislative and Executive branches.

Whether birthright citizenship is curbed through executive action, statutory reforms, an additional constitutional change, or some combination thereof, it must be addressed because the current flawed interpretation of the policy undermines both the spirit and purpose of citizenship.

The Trump administration has an opportunity to end these destructive “sanctuary city” policies forever simply by enforcing existing statutory provisions and applying them to officials who arrogantly believe they are above the law.
