Trump Targets Birth Tourism After Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship

Posted on by patriotsheart

President Trump wants to prevent non-U.S. citizens from giving birth to babies who automatically receive U.S. citizenship. He is particularly targeting birth tourism, in which foreign nationals travel to the United States specifically to give birth so their children acquire U.S. citizenship.

The Trump administration has revoked at least 4,000 visas tied to birth tourism, the practice of traveling to the United States to give birth so the child receives U.S. citizenship, the White House announced on October 20. The State Department’s Birth Tourism Prevention Task Force has revoked more than 700 visas held by Chinese nationals since its August launch.

The crackdown follows the Supreme Court’s June 30 ruling in Trump v. Barbara, which rejected Trump’s January 2025 executive order limiting birthright citizenship by a 6–3 vote.

On August 6, Trump signed two orders targeting birth tourism. At the Oval Office signing, he called the ruling a “very unfortunate decision” and said the birth tourism order “keeps American citizenship sacred,” according to CNN.

Ending Birth Tourism directs the State Department and Department of Homeland Security to deny or revoke visas, deny entry, and remove foreign nationals who engage in or plan to engage in birth tourism. It also targets facilitators, accusing operators of deceptive advertising and visa abuse that divert consular resources and undermine national security.

As detailed in my previous reporting, birth tourism agencies have marketed comprehensive packages to Chinese clients, combining visa assistance, airport transfers, housing, meals, medical referrals, and newborn documentation. Some also supplied maternity caregivers to supervise the traditional month-long postpartum recovery, handling arrangements from the visa interview through the family’s return to China.

The businesses could operate at substantial scale. One agency maintained more than 15 properties in Los Angeles and San Francisco and handled between 600 and 1,000 pregnant clients annually. Operators coached women on visa interviews and sometimes recommended entering through Las Vegas or Hawaii, where they believed screening would be easier. Federal prosecutions have also cited money laundering and fraudulent applications for discounted hospital care.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the Birth Tourism Prevention Task Force on August 12. “American citizenship is not for sale,” he wrote on X, accusing birth tourism rings of coaching applicants to defraud the visa system. The task force reviews travel histories using State Department and Homeland Security data. The Justice Department has also directed prosecutors to prioritize prosecutions involving birth tourism.

On September 23, Rubio announced a visa restriction policy targeting network operators, visa fixers, foreign medical providers who knowingly facilitate birth tourism and Medicaid fraud, and other participants. Certain family members may also face restrictions.

In early October, according to a State Department cable obtained by Politico, diplomatic posts were ordered to review flight manifests from January 24, 2020, through August 1, 2026, for suspected cases. Findings are due by the end of November.

Trump’s companion citizenship order bars citizenship documents for certain children whose parents obtained or sought birthright citizenship through commercial transactions or fraud, when neither parent is a U.S. citizen.

On September 2, U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman in Maryland issued a preliminary injunction blocking that order’s application to a certified class of children. She wrote that it was “almost certainly unconstitutional” as applied to them because the Supreme Court had already determined that they were citizens at birth.

The State Department’s September implementation plan limits the policy to future births. Three families filed a nationwide class action in Washington, D.C., on September 28. On October 7, the Justice Department asked Boardman to dissolve the injunction, arguing that the policy’s prospective application left the original plaintiff families without standing.

The visa crackdown builds on earlier enforcement. The State Department barred birth tourism on B-1 and B-2 visitor visas in January 2020, during Trump’s first term. In June 2026, it announced that it had disrupted networks abroad. An embassy in West Africa uncovered more than 100 people using fraudulent documents and visa fixers. An embassy in Europe identified more than 400 suspected cases tied to companies arranging visa coaching, housing, and deliveries, while an embassy in North Africa revoked more than 100 visas.

Earlier prosecutions illustrate the business’s scale. In January 2019, federal prosecutors in Los Angeles charged 19 people linked to three schemes serving mostly Chinese clients. You Win USA served more than 500 customers, charging $40,000 to $80,000 each. USA Happy Baby charged some clients as much as $100,000 and served people associated with Chinese government bodies. Its co-operator, Jing Dong, was later sentenced to more than three years in prison.

DEVELOPING: Ninth Circuit to Rule on DOJ’s Bid to Block 20,000 Illegal California Votes From Being Counted – Panel Reportedly Skeptical of DOJ

Posted on by patriotsheart

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in the Trump Administration’s lawsuit to block ballots submitted by illegal aliens and noncitizens from being counted, and the judges were reportedly not swayed by the Department of Justice.

The US Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles recently announced that “more than 20,000 people who are likely aliens are registered to vote in California” were sent mail-in ballots.

Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter told Fox News earlier, “We’ve already proven that some people have been voting,” noting that 28 people have already been charged as the unusual Sunday oral arguments were ongoing.

“At the very least, we’ll be charging the people who do that, but for once, we actually have an opportunity to stop the crime as it’s happening and before it gets counted,” he said.

President Trump also weighed in on the massive fraud on Saturday while voting in Palm Beach, Florida, telling reporters, “In Los Angeles, as you know, they have 20,000 votes, and it could be as high as a million votes,” Trump said.

“20,000 is just a little bit, and that had to do with the past election, not this current election. The U.S. attorney found potentially hundreds of thousands of illicit votes,” he said.

WATCH:

The Department of Justice is seeking to set aside and potentially throw out 20,000 ballots that were sent to illegal voters. “Once illegally cast ballots are counted and commingled with lawful votes, the resulting harm may be impossible to remedy. The urgency is heightened because of the fundamental right to vote and to have one’s lawful vote counted without dilution,” the DOJ said in its request for a Temporary Restraining Order

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the case was initially assigned to a Trump appointee but then reassigned to Clinton-appointed federal judge David Carter last week. Carter ignored a deadline proposed by the DOJ, prompting the Trump administration to ask an appeals court to intervene.

Now, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is hearing Oral Arguments after the DOJ filed an emergency request on Friday.

Politico’s Kyle Cheney, reported earlier during the oral arguments that the Ninth Circuit Panel of two Trump appointees and one Biden appointee “seems overwhelmingly inclined to side with California and shoot down the Justice Department’s bid.”

“This is not a close call. Judge Bennett, a Trump appointee, said DOJ’s disagreement with how California identifies and excludes noncitizen voters is not a reason to permit the federal govt to interfere with state procedures,” he wrote.

“Other judges unsure if they have jurisdiction at all (because district court has yet to rule) and worried about longstanding Supreme Court principle that federal courts should not mess with state election procedures on the eve of an election.”

Per Politico, the almost two-hour-long hearing left judges skeptical of the DOJ’s arguments. Judges expressed concerns about states’ rights to oversee elections and the last-minute timing of the suit.

This is a developing story.

Netanyahu’s Crypto Plan to Bypass Sanctions Sparks Political Firestorm in Israel

Posted on by patriotsheart

Israel’s prime minister has proposed developing an alternative economic system using cryptocurrency and blockchain technology to circumvent potential international banking sanctions. The announcement has triggered fierce opposition from the Bank of Israel, economists, high-tech executives and political rivals, raising questions about Israel’s economic future and its relationship with Western financial institutions.

Netanyahu’s Proposal: Preparing for an Economy Under Sanctions

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ignited a major political and economic controversy after announcing that his government is exploring the use of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology to circumvent potential international banking sanctions.

In an interview broadcast a couple of days ago, Netanyahu warned that Israel could face increasingly restrictive financial measures and said he had already instructed officials to prepare a plan for an alternative economic system.

“You need to prepare an economy that can circumvent them,” Netanyahu said, referring to possible banking sanctions. When asked whether blockchain technology could provide a solution, he responded that it was one of the options being considered and confirmed that he had requested a plan.

The proposal comes amid growing international concern over Israeli government policies in the West Bank, including settlement expansion and reports of escalating settler violence against Palestinians. Britain and other Western countries have announced or imposed measures targeting Israeli settlements.

Netanyahu’s comments also reflect his growing concern about Israel’s long-term dependence on American military assistance. He warned that the tens of billions of dollars in US aid supporting Israel’s defense budget would not continue indefinitely.

The prime minister’s remarks raise a fundamental question: Is Israel preparing for greater economic independence, or is its government anticipating a future in which the country could become increasingly isolated from the international financial system?

Despite the political uproar, Netanyahu has not publicly disclosed a detailed blueprint for the proposed initiative.

The project, as described by the prime minister, would involve developing alternative financial mechanisms capable of maintaining economic activity if Israel were subjected to international banking restrictions.

Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies could potentially facilitate cross-border transactions without relying exclusively on traditional banking intermediaries.

However, several important questions remain unanswered:

  • Which cryptocurrencies or blockchain networks would Israel use?
  • Would the government establish a state-backed digital currency or rely on existing cryptocurrencies?
  • Which countries and financial institutions would participate?
  • How would the system comply with international financial regulations?
  • Would the initiative focus on military procurement, international trade, government payments or broader economic activity?

Israeli economic officials reportedly had not received detailed information about the initiative, and senior officials were unaware of a dedicated team working on the proposal.

The Bank of Israel Rejects the Proposal

The Bank of Israel responded forcefully, warning that cryptocurrencies cannot serve as a mechanism for circumventing international sanctions.

The central bank argued that Israel’s economic priority should be preserving relationships with its principal trading partners and preventing the imposition of restrictions that could damage the country’s economy.

Its position directly challenges the premise that cryptocurrency could provide a reliable alternative to the international banking system.

Even when payments are conducted through decentralized networks, businesses may still depend on regulated banks, payment providers, foreign investors and international trading partners.

Furthermore, many blockchain transactions are publicly traceable. Governments and financial authorities can identify wallets associated with sanctioned entities and potentially restrict their access to regulated financial services.

The former supervisor of banks at the Bank of Israel, Yair Avidan, argued that moving transactions onto a blockchain does not eliminate sanctions or override legal prohibitions.

“BibiCoin” and the Fear of Economic Isolation

Netanyahu’s proposal has rapidly become a political flashpoint ahead of Israel’s October 27 general election.

Opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot, head of the Yashar party, sharply criticized the prime minister’s economic strategy.

Eisenkot referred to the proposal as the “BibiCoin” vision, using Netanyahu’s nickname to suggest that the initiative could become a symbol of economic mismanagement.

He accused Netanyahu of undermining Israel’s economy and warned that the country could become increasingly disconnected from international financial markets.

His criticism focused on the practical consequences for Israeli businesses.

How would an Israeli technology company receive foreign investment? How would international corporations acquire Israeli businesses? And how would pension funds and other investors remain protected if the country’s financial system became isolated?

Naftali Bennett, leader of the B’Yachad party, also condemned Netanyahu’s proposal, warning that the prime minister appeared to be preparing Israel for an isolated economic future.

Avigdor Liberman, leader of Yisrael Beytenu, questioned the technical feasibility of the proposal, arguing that cryptocurrency is not an invisible financial system capable of making transactions disappear from the reach of international authorities.

The debate has also revived comparisons with Netanyahu’s previous “Super-Sparta” remarks, in which he suggested that Israel would need to become more self-reliant in response to growing international isolation.

Israel’s High-Tech Industry Is Alarmed

Israel’s technology sector is among the most vocal critics of Netanyahu’s proposal.

The Israeli High-Tech Headquarters, representing senior industry executives and economic stakeholders, warned that an isolated economy relying on cryptocurrency could undermine the foundations of Israel’s economic model.

The organization argued that Israel’s prosperity depends on international trade, foreign investment and access to global markets.

Eyal Waldman, founder of Mellanox, now part of Nvidia, also warned against an economic strategy that could push Israel outside the Western financial system.

For Israel’s high-tech industry, the consequences of sanctions could extend far beyond the banking sector.

International investors could reconsider their commitments. Multinational companies could relocate operations. Israeli startups could face difficulties raising capital or receiving payments from foreign customers.

Economists have similarly warned that broad economic sanctions could produce rising unemployment, declining investment and significant damage to Israel’s international standing.

The controversy therefore exposes a fundamental disagreement over economic security.

Could Cryptocurrency Actually Bypass Sanctions?

The technical question remains central to the debate.

Cryptocurrency can, under certain circumstances, create alternative payment channels that reduce dependence on conventional financial intermediaries.

However, this does not mean that a country can simply replace the international banking system with blockchain technology.

Sanctions can restrict access to financial institutions, investment markets, commercial relationships and essential services. Cryptocurrency transactions may still require exchanges, payment providers or counterparties operating under international regulations.

Moreover, blockchain transactions can be monitored, and digital assets associated with sanctioned entities can be frozen when held through platforms with the technical ability and legal obligation to do so.

There is also a distinction between using blockchain technology to improve financial resilience and using it to circumvent legally imposed sanctions.

The first may involve legitimate applications such as maintaining payment infrastructure during emergencies or improving settlement efficiency.

The second raises significant legal, diplomatic and economic risks.

The Bank of Israel has emphasized that cryptocurrency cannot eliminate these risks or guarantee continued access to international markets.

Netanyahu’s Response: “I Listen, but I Do What I Think Is Best”

Despite the criticism, Netanyahu has not withdrawn the proposal.

Following the Bank of Israel’s response, the prime minister said he would take the central bank’s concerns into account.

“I hear the resistance; I am taking it into account,” Netanyahu said in an interview with i24.

He added that he listens to advice but ultimately makes his own decisions.

The prime minister’s comments suggest that the proposal remains under consideration, although its eventual implementation and scope remain uncertain.

The debate is also connected to Netanyahu’s broader strategy of reducing Israel’s dependence on American military assistance and strengthening domestic defense production.

His argument is that Israel must prepare for a changing international environment in which traditional alliances and financial relationships may become less reliable.

However, the opposition and financial establishment argue that economic independence cannot be achieved by disconnecting the country from the international system that sustains its prosperity.

Netanyahu’s cryptocurrency proposal has exposed a profound debate over Israel’s future.

The central issue is not whether blockchain technology can facilitate certain financial transactions. It is whether an economy as internationally integrated as Israel’s can maintain its prosperity if its access to Western financial markets, investment and banking relationships becomes increasingly restricted.

Netanyahu has requested a plan, but no operational system has been publicly presented.

UPDATE: Commie Lula da Silva Wins Reelection Over Flavio Bolsonaro in Brazilian Presidential Election – All Polling Aggregators Got the Result Wrong for Some Weird Reason

Posted on by patriotsheart

Lula da Silva and his personal attorney and Supreme Court Justice Christiano Zanin and conservative Flavio Bolsonaro

The Brazilian Presidential Election is being held today in one of Latin America’s few remaining leftist controlled countries.

Socialist Lula da Silva is locked in a tight race with Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of former persecuted president Jair Bolsonaro.

Cuba-aligned socialist Lula da Silva is up against Flavio Bolsonaro in today’s runoff election in Brazil.

Earlier today, President Lula da Silva’s “personal attorney” and Supreme Court Justice Christiano Justin extended election hours after complaints by Lula!

They call Justice Cristiano Zanin “Lula’s justice” (or “ministro do Lula”) because he was Lula’s personal lawyer who successfully defended him in the Lava Jato cases, and Lula later appointed him to Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court (STF).

Unbelievable!

Ballot counting in Brazil’s 2026 presidential runoff (Lula vs. Flávio Bolsonaro) was set to begin at 17:00 Brasília time (5 p.m. local) on October 25, when polls were originally scheduled to close.⁠Oglobo.globo

Brazil uses a unified Brasília schedule for elections, electronic voting machines transmit results quickly, and the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) typically starts publishing partial totals right after closing.

A last-minute Supreme Court decision by Justice Cristiano Zanin extended voting by two hours (until 19:00 Brasília) over transport and weather issues.

This caused the TSE to pause the already-started count (which had reached about 0.25% of sections with early numbers favoring Lula) and resume receipt of ballot records, totaling, and public results after 19:00 Brasília.

Bolsonaro leads the race with nearly 19 million votes reporting.

UPDATE: In a complete shocker! (joke) Lula da Silva takes the lead as late votes start to come in.

The elections in Brazil are completely electronic. Never go electronlic. Just like you should never go mail-in votes. The leftists will ALWAYS cheat to win.

Commie Lula da Silva wins the electronic vote.

He won despite trailing in ALL of the polling aggregator websites!

EVERY single aggregator site was wrong? Hmmm.

NEVER let your country use ONLY electronic voting!

Somali-Born Superintendent Sparks Uproar as He Reveals the Disgusting Reason Why He Wants to Change School Policy on Dogs (VIDEO)

A Somali-born public school official who invaded the State of Maine years ago now wants to impose his culture on the state’s natives.

As The Maine Wire reported on Wednesday, the Portland Public Schools Policy Committee held a meeting on October 14 that focused on the school district’s newly proposed policy on animals in schools.

As currently drafted, the policy states as follows: school administration must sign off on the animals, service animals must be certified, and domestic animals must be restrained.

But Abdullahi Ahmed, the Somali-born Muslim assistant superintendent for student, family, and community partnerships at Portland Public Schools, claimed that the policy toward dogs must change because of Islamic ‘ritual purity.’

He specifically cited dog saliva as an example.

“In Islamic tradition, there is always love for animals and living things and compassion for animals,” Ahmed said. “With that being said, there are some ritual purity that Islamic traditions state and Muslims exercise, so, for example, dog saliva is considered impure.

Ahmed said he did not want the district “to have a dog as a class pet” and that students and staff “should not be required to interact” with the animals at school.

Note that he delivered his remarks while sitting in front of an Iraqi flag.

WATCH:

Americans had plenty of choice words on the matter, with many telling Ahmed in no uncertain terms to go back where he came from.

Elon Musk Claims Ukraine Is a Money Laundering Scheme for US Politicians

Posted on by patriotsheart

Elon Musk Claims Ukraine Is a Money Laundering Scheme for US Politicians.

In early 2025, after President Trump took over, Ukraine’s Zelensky claimed that he was unable to locate $100 billion Ukraine received from the US.

Here is a video of Zelensky’s remarks.

UKRAINE: What if 58% of the U.S. taxpayer dollars sent to Zelensky never even reached Ukraine? Where did it go? Did the CIA skim a cut? Did Ukrainian officials and generals pocket their share? Did The Big Guy get his usual slice? If Zelensky’s claim is true—that he only received $75 billion of the $177+ billion Washington sent—what happens next? Do we shrug and move on, or do we finally demand answers and accountability?

This is no surprise.

When FTX’s CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) was arrested after the cryptocurrency trading vehicle FTX went bankrupt, we reported that FTX was used as a money laundering vehicle in Ukraine.  Next thing that happened the DOJ threw SBF in jail and ignored any relationship between FTX and money laundering.

EXCLUSIVE: Yesterday the DOJ Covered-Up Possibly the Largest Money Laundering Scheme in US History and It Didn’t Involve Hunter Biden

It looks like this is all now catching up with Ukraine and the world.  Zelensky must realize that President Trump is not fooling around, and he may be interested in sharing information on where the $100 billion went for some leniency from President Trump.

Elon Musk shared this week that Ukraine was a money laundering vehicle as much as anything.

Sean Davis shares more:

Will we ever receive the truth regarding where the billions of dollars the US reportedly sent to Ukraine ended up?

From Satan’s Mouth to Your Ears: Liar Obama Says Iran Is “In a Stronger Strategic Position Now Than Before the War”

Posted on by patriotsheart

Obama lies about the War in Iran. For the record, Obama was absent when the Iranian people begged him to take out the Ayatollahs.

Barack Obama was back out on the campaign trail this weekend spewing his latest load of lies.

There’s a reason Obama lost votes during his presidency. He was a radical, America-hating leftist who used every opportunity to smear the United States.

And… he’s still at it. Spewing lies and talking nonsense.

It is stunning that so many people believed this serial liar and still do today.

During his rally in Michigan, Barack Obama started spewing Iranian talking points arguing that Iran is “In a stronger strategic position now than before the war started.”

Via Disclose TV:

What a goofball.

Foreign policy expert Tony Shaffer posted the most appropriate response to Obama’s basket of lies:

“If you ever needed to know what team Satan’s Left Testicle, AKA, @BarackObama is actually playing for, look no further than this video.

Iran is defeated. They have no military. Their terror proxies are deflated and mostly ineffective. They, Iran, admitted to having a nuclear program that had adequate amounts of enriched uranium that was “weapons grade” that somehow Obama did not stop them from developing. The daily amount of oil going thru the Strait of Hormuz is back to pre-war levels…and yet he take the side of the largest state sponsor of terror to amplify the Iranian Theocracy’s lie…

Iran is crumbling and Obama is trying to save them…

When someone shows you who they are, believe them…

Here is the tweet.

Right on, Tony!

You Can’t Make This Up: Daughter of Indicted Virginia Democrat Wrote Big Check to Illicit Drug Shell Company Called “Freedom is Dope” that Later BOUNCED – Then the State Legislator Wrote a Replacement Check

Posted on by patriotsheart

More details have emerged regarding last week’s federal indictment of Virginia State Democratic Senator L. Louise Lucas, which show just how boneheaded she and her family had to be to get busted.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Cassandra MacDonald reported, federal authorities charged the Trump-hating 82-year-old Lucas on Thursday with racketeering, money laundering conspiracy, conspiracy to distribute marijuana, and gun possession as part of an alleged public corruption scheme tied to a cannabis business that she co-owns.

A Justice Department spokesperson confirmed that Lucas turned herself in to the authorities and was arrested.

Per Fox News’s Bill Melugin, members of Lucas’ family were also busted by the feds.

Authorities also charged and took into custody a half-dozen others in the alleged scheme.

Now, more details have emerged that paint a damning picture for Lucas.

Per the federal indictment, Lucas asked a supplier on April 19, 2022, if they were law enforcement, then bought 3-5 pounds of marijuana.

Her daughter, Lisa Lucas-Burke, later wrote a $6,600 business check to a business called “Freedom is Dope.” That’s when the story gets funny.

The check Lucas’s daughter wrote BOUNCED due to “insufficient funds.” Lucas later wrote a signed replacement check on June 8, 2022, from a Backyard Entertainment, LLC account.

Note: “Freedom to Dope” and “Backyard Entertainment” are Lucas’ family’s shell companies.

LOOK:

Lucas and her family really thought they were untouchable, forgetting the old Bible verse “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall”.

Now, the Virginia State Senator may spend the rest of her life in prison.
