(ThyBlackMan.com) How do you undermine America’s long held motto, “E Pluribus Unum,” while systematically destroying America’s sovereignty? One illegal alien at a time.

I believe illegal immigrants are more likely to reject assimilating into American culture and instead embrace Democratic class-warfare – a strategy designed by the left to keep a permanent underclass voting bloc that will remain dependent upon some form of welfare. For this reason, I give kudos to President Trump for signing a proclamation that will require migrants to apply for asylum at our legal ports of entry. This is important so that we know who’s coming into our country and why and whether they qualify for entry at all.

As it stands now, there are only 5 reasons to grant asylum to migrants that can prove they have suffered persecution or can prove a legitimate fear that they will suffer persecution in their home country, according to our U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (http://uscis.gov). Those reasons are:

1) race,

2) religion,

3) nationality,

4) membership in a particular social group,

and

5) political opinion. In other words, those seeking to come to America for jobs need not apply.

However, as much as I appreciate Trump’s proclamation on asylum, for the sake of blacks and other racial minorities, as well as preserving America’s middle-class, it’s time for Donald Trump and the Republican Party to put an end to “birthright citizenship,” as leftists wrongfully interpret it today.

There’s been a lot of controversy about what the framers of the 14thAmendment intended when they wrote “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof…” There shouldn’t be. In context, the 14th Amendment is complimentary to the 13th Amendment that freed African slaves in America, and the 15th Amendment which gave former slaves the right to vote. Leftists wrongfully, and I contend purposefully, cite the Supreme Court case of 1898, the Wong Kim Ark decision as their reason for supporting birthright citizenship. However, this case had nothing to do with birthright citizenship at all! In fact, the case granted citizenship to all children of “legal immigrants,” as Daniel Horowitz of Conservative Review wrote about in his column “The Originalist Case Against Birthright Citizenship.”

Here are ways President Trump and Republicans can make immigration an issue for 2020, without losing their base and even capturing some independent voters.

First, Republicans must argue that illegal aliens don’t have the right to piggy-back off the pain and suffering of freed African slaves that were brought to America by force after being sold into slavery by fellow Africans, as compared to those who have willfully broken our immigration laws by entering the country illegally. This will endear them to black voters who may be ready to abandon the Democratic Party and may not have been open to the GOP before.

Secondly, clarifying the original intent of the 14th Amendment would disincentivize illegal immigration and help us to expedite “legal immigration.” This is the right thing to do for the immigrants who have been pushed to the back of the line by illegal aliens while they’ve waited patiently for the privilege to call themselves an American. There’s nothing the left fears more than blacks abandoning the Democratic Party and immigrants who embrace American nationalism over socialism.

Lastly, the financial burden that’s placed upon taxpayers would be better served paying down our national debt and securing Medicare and Medicaid entitlements for our most vulnerable citizens who legitimately need the programs.

Additionally, why should low-skilled and middle class Americans alike have to compete for jobs against illegal immigrants who will drive down our wages? Leftist athletes and entertainers like LeBron James and the women of “The View” that pontificate on the subject will never be financially impacted by illegal immigration. You and I will.

The left is interested in “importing” new Democratic voters from poor countries that will perpetually keep them in power because they’re dependent on government welfare. That means job security for the power hungry in D.C. It’s as simple as that.

    TO THE AUTHOR,

    Are you on drugs? Or do you just lack understanding?
    The first illegal immigrants in this country were called the “Founding Fathers”.
    Secondly, stop speaking as if life is all about partisanship.
    Partisanship, on either side, is the problem because it is a distraction by both sides which Trump is using to divide America. Fortunately it is lifting up the rock hiding republican snakes. And no I am nod a Dem but I go by the facts.

    I suggest you do your research on what Trump and the Republicans are doing to the economy and American jobs and prices through the tariff war. I suggest you look at his over 6,000 proven lies. I suggest you look at how they are pushing to drop over 20 million Americans from health insurance. How they are gutting Medicare, Medicaid and the Social Security Fund. And yes i have proof, unlike Trump, of every claim I just made.

    TRUMP HAS LOST MASSIVE REPUBLICAN SUPPORT

    This is being kept quiet and downplayed, but many republicans do not support Donald Trump. Who? Largely all those who quit his administration. Mostly all those he fired don’t like him either. All those who are leaking from his administration only appear to be with him because they need their jobs. But they leak because they are not with him. You can expect more of that to come. Michael Cohen. Omarosa. Ted Cruz and Ran Paul do not really support Trump either. They just want their agendas advanced. Ted actually thinks exactly what he said about Trump. Jeb Bush and the Bush family. I could go on all day but you will try to refute each and every one. Yet you would have to do so all day long.

    DONALD TRUMP HAS NO LOYALTY TO ANYBODY SO WHY WOULD HIS ZOMBIE SUPPORTERS

    THINK DONALD TRUMP CARES ABOUT THEM? Because they are not too bright, because they are brainwashed by the Don Con to ignore what they see and hear. Because they are GULLIBLE and Trump knows it. But Trump has NO respect for weak-minded people, not even supporters. Jeff Sessions was one of Trump’s first congressional supporters and did the honorable thing and recused himself. Now Trump has forced him out. That is what happens when a president has neither loyalty nor morals. Trump is building an Obstruction case against himself.
    THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT DOES NOT TAKE AN OATH TO DONALD TRUMP!

    Trump made the midterms about him so granted Senate wins are his wins BUT House losses are his losses. Thus stats show Trump has lost suburban middle class educated white females. Trump lost women by 19 points and they chose Democrats over Republicans. He lost support in the suburbs when 4 years ago Republicans won the suburbs by 12 points. Trump lost independents by 12 points when just 2 years ago the Republicans won the same areas by 4 points.

    And don’t get me started with what he lost with people of color including native Americans and Muslims. All REAL NEWS, ALL REAL LOSSES Trump and the White House won’t talk about.

    You need to know that many in the Congress were never a part of Trump’s base. They just pretend to be so they can keep their elected positions. but watch when 2020 hits, this time they won’t be caught off guard and they will never let him get the nomination. Further, Trump has lost a significant portion of those undecided voters as well. I can keep going. And his base will not be enough to get him re-elected.

    Remember Hillary (I am not a fan of hers either) got millions more votes in the popular vote in part because she underestimated the electoral college map. But if the popular vote was the sole determining factor for president, Trump would not be president. My point? That half the nation’s voters were NEVER with Trump and more were lost by his little stunt to separate Hispanic families. Yes he got elected but those who only pretend to be with him now know what to do to make sure he does not get re-elected. And many of those people are Republicans.

    And if you are a Trump zombie, take a hint from Jeff Sessions who was one of the first in Congress to support Trump. Then Sessions stepped up and did the right thing in recusing himself from the Mueller investigation. His reward for loyalty and then doing the right thing was to be degraded by Trump then thrown out in the middle of the week. So Trump supporters why would you think Trump gives a d**n about you? Trump does not and he is loyal only to himself and Ivanka, not even his own wife.

    NOW WATCH SOME DUMB PARROT TRUMP ZOMBIES CALL ALL THESE VERIFIABLE FACTS FAKE NEWS!

    All of these REPUBLICANS did not support trump for president and some only APPEAR to support him now. Wait until the 2020 election. They won’t be caught off guard by him this time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Republicans_who_opposed_the_Donald_Trump_presidential_campaign,_2016
