Parents of children born in the US are not immune from deportation, said Border Czar Tom Homan, as he warned nobody in the US is “immune from our laws.”
Homan appeared on CBS News’s Face the Nation when he waded into a new controversy about a two-year-old US-citizen child who was deported with their sister and mother to Honduras.
“Having a U.S. citizen child doesn’t make you immune from our laws of the country,” Homan said.
“American families get separated every day by law enforcement.”
Trump’s Border Czar slammed illegals who believe having a child in the US is a “get-out-of-jail-free card.”
When asked about the specifics of the controversial case, Homan said the mother who was deported decided to take her child with her. Homan called it “parenting 101.”
One of President Trump’s first Executive Orders upon taking office was to end birthright citizenship.
Trump’s executive order explicitly stated that the 14th Amendment is being misused to grant citizenship to so-called “anchor babies.”
“The Fourteenth Amendment has always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but not ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof,’” the order states.
It continues: “It is the policy of the United States that no department or agency of the United States government shall issue documents recognizing United States citizenship, or accept documents issued by State, local, or other governments or authorities purporting to recognize United States citizenship, to persons: (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States was lawful but temporary, and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth.”
One day after the Order was issued, a group of Democrat state attorneys filed a lawsuit to block it. US District Judge John Coughenour, a Reagan appointee, then blocked the order, describing it as “blatantly unconstitutional.”
The Trump administration is currently appealing the block.
