A plurality of American adults, including Hispanics, support a plan touted by President-elect Donald Trump to end the nation’s anchor baby policy that gives birthright American citizenship to the United States-born children of illegal aliens, a new poll finds. The Economist /YouGov poll reveals that 45 percent of Americans back ending birthright citizenship for the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens — including 48 percent of white Americans and 42 percent of Hispanics. Also, 50 percent of Americans earning $50,000 to $100,000 a year, 49 percent of Americans earning more than $100,000, and 66 percent of Republicans similarly support ending birthright citizenship. A minority of 42 percent of Americans oppose ending birthright citizenship. In an exclusive interview in May 2023, Trump told Breitbart News that he would sign an executive order on “day one” ending the anchor baby policy. “On day one of my new term in office, I will sign an executive order making clear to federal agencies that under the correct interpretation of the law going forward the future children of illegal aliens will not receive automatic U.S. citizenship,” Trump said. A study from last year found that while fewer than 4-in-10 households headed by native-born Americans use at least one major form of welfare, nearly 60 percent of households headed by illegal aliens are on welfare. The U.S.-born children of illegal aliens, known commonly as “anchor babies,” are rewarded with birthright citizenship despite their parents having no legitimate ties to the U.S., many having only recently arrived after crossing international borders. Years later, when anchor babies become adults, they can sponsor their parents and foreign relatives for green cards — anchoring their family in the U.S. for generations to come. The prize of birthright citizenship is so coveted among foreign nationals that birth tourism has become a lucrative business. As of 2023, there are about 5.8 million anchor babies in the U.S. — a population that exceeds the annual number of American births. The U.S. Supreme Court has never explicitly ruled that the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens must be granted birthright citizenship, and many legal scholars dispute the idea. Many leading conservative scholars argue the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment does not provide mandatory birthright citizenship to the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens or noncitizens, because these children are not subject to United States jurisdiction as that language was understood when the 14th Amendment was ratified. The United States and Canada are among only a handful of developed nations, mostly in North and South America, that have a birthright citizenship policy for anyone, regardless of immigration status, born within its physical borders. Australia, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, New Zealand, and Spain, among other countries, reserve birthright citizenship for children born to at least one citizen parent.

With the loss, Central’s season comes to an end at 7-6 after winning the NEC title last weekend as URI will move one step closer to the FCS championship, facing No. 7 Mercer (10-2) next weekend in Georgia. In the loss, CCSU quarterback Brady Olson threw two touchdown passes, both to wide receiver Isaac Boston, and running back Elijah Howard rushed for 101 yards on 19 carries. The Blue Devils defense had two takeaways as Christopher Jean and Malachi Wright each had an interception. In URI’s win, running back Malik Grant ran all over the Blue Devils defense for 223 yards on 29 carries and broke URI’s school-record for most rushing yards in a single-season. Wide receiver Tommy Smith ran for a touchdown and caught a touchdown reception in the win for the Rams. Following the loss and their season ending, CCSU coach Adam Lechtenberg said URI was able to win another close game due to committing fewer mistakes than his team and not being able to execute late in the game. “I’m extremely proud of my guys, they battled like they always do, we just made a few too many mistakes,” said Lechtenberg. “We had opportunities to win the game, we couldn’t get it done, they did. I couldn’t be more proud of the direction we’re headed, but couldn’t be more disappointed for our kids that we weren’t able to find a way to get it done.” After CCSU forced a three-and-out on defense to begin the game, quarterback Brady Olson was picked off by D.J. Cureton. This set up the Rams at CCSU’s 27 where they looked to take a 3-0 lead on a 45-yard field goal attempt. CCSU freshman Christopher Jean blocked the Rams’ field goal try, leaving the game scoreless. On Central’s next defensive possession, linebacker Vince Thomas forced and recovered a fumble that got overturned. A few plays later, URI quarterback Hunter Helms hit wide receiver Tommy Smith for a 38-yard touchdown pass to give the Rams a 7-0 lead with 2:31 left in the first quarter. 14 seconds later, the Rams would score their second touchdown of the quarter, going up 14-0. The Rams came up with their second interception on Olson in the opening quarter as defensive back Emmanuel Gomes returned a 22-yard interception for a touchdown to put URI up 14-0. Looking to cut URI’s lead, Central’s defense came up with a big turnover when linebacker Malachi Wright picked off Helms with CCSU taking over at URI’s 48. Central’s offense piggy-backed off of the momentum. The Blue Devils used an eight-play 48-yard drive that was capped off by an 11-yard touchdown pass from Olson to wide receiver Isaac Boston. Central cut URI’s lead to 14-7 with 7:25 left in the half. As both teams looked to score again in the first half, both defenses came up with stops. CCSU had a chance to tie the game with a few minutes left in the half. Facing 4th-and-1 from URI’s 27, Olson had an opportunity to hit tight end Sean O’Brien to extend the drive and score a possible touchdown, but overthrew him with the ball being a little too high over his head. URI looked to capitalize on their big stop on defense with a touchdown or field goal on the last drive of the first half. Facing 4th-and-7 from Central’s 30, the Rams elected to go for it and were stopped by the Blue Devil defense. The Rams entered the second half with a 14-7 lead. After a CCSU three-and-out to begin the second half, the Rams got into Central territory and into the red zone as Grant broke free for a long 75-yard run after the Rams started the drive backed up at their own two-yard line. Two plays later, Jean made another big play for the CCSU defense, picking off Helms, and taking away the opportunity for URI to go up by two scores. The Blue Devils would tie the game at 14-14 a few drives later. A few big plays from Howard, including a 40-yard run and a 22-yard reception helped put the Blue Devils at the Rams’ six-yard line. Olson and Boston connected for their second touchdown through the air to cap the drive off, tying the game with 1:27 left in the third quarter. After being held scoreless in the second and third quarters, URI’s offense came alive, and put them up by a touchdown with 9:42 remaining in the game. On a drive that started from the Central 32, the Rams used six plays, capped off by a six-yard direct snap by Smith out of the wildcat formation to put the Rams up by a touchdown. On Central’s ensuing offensive possession, Michael Trovarelli (35-yard catch) and Howard (17-yard run) helped put the Blue Devils in a good position to score, getting in the red zone. Facing a 4th-and-goal situation from the 14, kicker Jack Barnum converted a 32-yard field goal to make it 21-17 in favor of URI with 4:47 left in the game. Looking to run out the clock, the Rams picked up two first downs before the Blue Devils forced a punt and got the ball back with 43 seconds in the game. With no timeouts and needing 80 yards to win the game, Olson was pressured on the Blue Devils’ first play of the drive, and threw a pick to defensive lineman Westley Neal Jr. With the loss, CCSU’s season ends at 7-6 (5-1 in NEC.) The Blue Devils had 12 players make NEC All-First Team (school record), and had multiple players win conference awards as well as receive national recognition for other awards. After the loss, Lechtenberg reflected on the remarkable season the Blue Devils put together in 2024, and spoke about how proud he was of the work they put in that saw them have the opportunity at an FCS championship. He expects his team to pick up off of their success from this season into next season. “Last night in my talk, I listed 40 different players that made impact plays and not one of them was All-Conference,” said Lechtenberg. “Football is the greatest team sport because it takes everybody. I’m proud of everyone. It takes everyone to try to make a chance at winning games. I’m proud of the direction we’re headed, proud of our administration, our fans, and our alumni.” “We still have a relatively young team, a lot of our better players are not seniors, we had a lot of really good senior players too,” Lechtenberg said. “Our expectations are to get better. This is not where we stop, we are headed in the right direction but we are not there yet.”Larry Wilson: Mr. Schiff goes to Washington, again

I was talking by phone last week with California’s new senator-elect, Adam Schiff, as he plowed through papers in a temporary basement office of the Capitol in his transition from House member to Congress’s upper chamber — famously, or formerly, “the greatest deliberative body in the world.” More on his feelings about that in a bit. First, as we began our conversation — this was a day before his clownish former House colleague Matt Gaetz dropped out from consideration as attorney general — we had a laugh about the often-ludicrous qualities of so many of the names put forward by the president-elect for his cabinet. “When he was president before” — and before Schiff led an impeachment prosecution against him in the Senate trial — “I had a meeting with him in the Oval Office. And I said, ‘You know, we should work together on infrastructure,’ and I also brought up the high cost of prescription drugs ... He was affable, and personable, and I think the first thing he said to me was, ‘You know, you do a really good job.’ And I think he meant, on TV. Because it echoed something that Jared Kushner told me during his deposition” for the impeachment. “During one of the recesses he came up to me and said, ‘You do a really good job on TV.’ Trump had just attacked me for the very first time, on Twitter. ‘Sleazy Adam Schiff spends too much time on TV,’ and blah blah blah. And I said, ‘Well, apparently your father-in-law doesn’t think so.’ And his response was, ‘Oh, yes he does, and that’s why.’ ... He’s obviously picked a lot of his cabinet by watching them on Fox. And he also watches his adversaries on Fox.” I asked Schiff if he would be able to work with Trump during his second term. “Well, I think he sees political value in attacking me. It’s why I was such a constant feature in his rallies. Even up to the very end, his closing argument was about me — ‘He’s the enemy from within.’ All I can do is do my job. Try to get stuff done in defending our democracy, our rights and freedoms. He can call me whatever he wants. I’m not going to lose focus on core responsibilities.” Back to the difference between being a congressman and a senator. Schiff and the 11 other new incoming senators — six Democrats, six Republicans — just spent the last week in official orientations about how the upper house works. After 20 years in the House, he was at least a bit familiar. But some things are different. “It’s been a combination of briefings from Senate officers and the sergeant at arms — including with our spouses; they wanted us all to get to know each other — about your Washington office, and your district office, and personal security. We would take a meal break and have lunch together. Social interaction is very important. We had other sessions with veteran senators of both parties about things to do, and things not. A main thing seems to be: Don’t just work together and not socialize. Invite people out to dinner. Don’t judge a book by its cover — guys who you know from TV” may be different in real life. I asked about the “greatest deliberative body” idea: “It really seems like a different culture in the Senate,” Schiff said. “There’s a recognition that you can’t get anything done unless you can find a partner on the other side of the aisle. It’s a small place and you can get to know each other well. There is a group of folks in the Senate who don’t want to get anything done. But apart from that group, there’s lots of opportunities to collaborate and deliver and so I’m very excited about it. It’s very entrepreneurial.” “I was worried,” he continued. “I’d been hearing that the character of the Senate was changing — that a number of the bomb throwers in the House had come over — but the climate is very different. There’s a real willingness to say, ‘Hey, we may disagree on this and that, but I know you’re interested in housing, or rural hospitals, so let’s work together.’” Although I didn’t want to get too deep into the weeds on the inevitable question of what’s next for Democrats after they lost the White House, still don’t have the House and lost the Senate, I was still curious about how California’s new senator could work with a guy who rails against him: “This president, given his track record, is going to abuse his office. But my first priority is to get things done. Playing defense is secondary.” Larry Wilson is on the Southern California News Group editorial board. lwilson@scng.com.
