Birthright citizenship, including birthright citizenship tourism, has been the focus of multiple fights in recent months.

It was because President Donald Trump issued an executive order putting some limits on the ideology that comes out of the 14th Amendment.

He said those newly born children of illegal aliens in the country and other should not be granted citizenship.

The Supreme Court reversed that, declaring, essentially, that parents in the world, if they can break into the United States before a baby’s birth, can benefit from that baby’s U.S. citizenship.

There already are moves in Congress to overturn that, and in the White House to seek another hearing on the problem.

But now a state lawmaker in Texas is calling on others in state government, including Gov. Greg Abbott, to help him make birth tourism in the state a felony.

After all, U.S. citizens are not exempt from state laws that declare certain acts felonies.

It is Texas State Rep. Brian Harrison who is pushing that agenda.

An online report confirmed his plan: “I’m calling for an immediate special session. I want Governor Abbott to call us back to the Capitol right now so that we can make birth tourism a state level felony — that is absolutely an option that’s available to us under our state and federal constitutions.”

It said, “It’s Texas. We get to decide what’s legal and what’s not legal to operate as businesses in our state!”

A report at the Gateway Pundit said Harrison discussed the problem on Fox News, explaining, “We need the governor and his political appointee at HHS in Texas to immediately stop issuing birth certificates to illegal aliens and noncitizens.”
