FELONS WILL BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY — NON-FELONS WILL BE GIVEN 12 MONTHS TO SELL EVERYTHING AND RETURN HOME
HOW TO SOLVE THE ILLEGAL ALIEN PROBLEM
FELONS WILL BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY — NON-FELONS WILL BE GIVEN 12 MONTHS TO SELL EVERYTHING AND RETURN HOME
A Campaign Policy Paper from Candidate John Rice
A Common Sense Hard-Working American 🇺🇸
—
My fellow Americans,
I’m John Rice. I’m a common sense hard-working American. I’m not a career politician. I’m not a millionaire. I’m not a Washington insider. I’m just a regular American who’s tired of watching the establishment destroy our country.
Our immigration system is broken. Our borders are open. Our communities are under threat.
But I’m not here to offer you empty promises or fear-mongering. I’m here to offer you a plan — a smart, strategic, and Christian plan to restore order, protect our families, and show mercy where mercy is due.
We can walk and chew gum at the same time. We can be a nation of laws AND a nation of compassion.
Here is my plan. I am asking you to seriously look at it, consider it, and if you agree with it, support me and vote for me. I am not asking you to trust me because I am a politician. I am asking you to look at the plan and decide for yourself if it makes sense.

THE TWO-TIER ENFORCEMENT — SAME WEIGHT, DIFFERENT TIMELINE
I want to be absolutely clear about something, because this is the heart of my plan.
There are only two categories of illegal aliens in my administration: felons and non-felons.
Felons get removed immediately. No grace period. No 12 months. No mercy. The full weight of the federal government comes down on them and their families on day one.
Non-felons get 12 months of mercy. Twelve months to sell everything they own, transfer their money, and go home with dignity. Twelve months to leave as free people who chose to leave, rather than as people who were forced out.
But here is the part I will not compromise on:
Starting in the 13th month, every single tool of federal enforcement that I apply to felons will be applied — in full — to non-felons who overstayed.
There is no third category. There is no “I have a job,” there is no “my kids are in school.” If you are still here in month 13, you are no longer a non-felon in the eyes of my administration. You are an overstayer who rejected a year of mercy.
And you will be treated exactly like a felon.
The full weight of the federal government means all of this, applied at once:
· Complete financial shutdown. Your bank accounts frozen and closed. Your credit cards dead. Your loans called. Your crypto seized. Your investment accounts liquidated.
· Job termination mandated. Your employer is required by federal order to terminate you, or face fines that will destroy the company.
· E-Verify hit. You will never pass a background check for employment in the United States again.
· ITIN frozen. No tax filing, no tax refunds, no ability to open new accounts anywhere.
· Remittance ban. You will not be able to wire one dollar out of this country.
· Asset seizure. Houses, cars, businesses, personal property, and financial holdings — seized and liquidated.
· License revocation. No driver’s license. No professional license. No occupational license. No contractor license. Nothing.
· Accountability for anyone who helped you stay. Landlords who rented to you, employers who kept you, banks that banked you — all of them face federal penalties.
· AI surveillance. Your social media, your movements, your financial activity — all monitored.
· Removal by DHS. Once everything else is stripped away, DHS will deport you.
There is no difference between how I treat a felon and how I treat an overstayer after month 12.
The only difference is that the felon never got a chance to leave with his assets. The overstayer did. He got 12 months. He got warnings. He got mercy.
And mercy rejected is not mercy. It is defiance. And defiance gets the full weight of the law.

THE 12-MONTH DEPARTURE PLAN FOR NON-FELONS
If I am elected President, every non-felon illegal alien in America will be given exactly 12 months to leave.
During those 12 months, they will have complete freedom to:
· Sell their house, their car, their business, their furniture — anything they own
· Transfer their money to their home country
· Close out their affairs and make arrangements
· Leave peacefully and with dignity
And they will be encouraged to take everything they learned in America — the skills, the knowledge, the business experience, the understanding of how a free economy works — and use it to build something back home.
MY MOTTO: MAKE ALL NATIONS GREAT AGAIN.
Go home and make your nation great.
Build your business. Build your community. Get involved politically. Change your nation for the better. You have total freedom back in your homeland — the freedom to vote, to protest, to run for office, to shape the future of your own country. That is your right. It always was. And honestly, it is what you should be doing with your life — building up your own nation, not living in the shadows of someone else’s.
Take the best of what you learned in America and go plant it in your own soil.
That is not cruelty. That is a blessing.
The American taxpayer will not fund any of this. There will be no $2,000 payout. No relocation subsidies. No taxpayer-funded flights. They will fund their own departure by selling the assets they accumulated while they were here illegally. That is fair. That is just.

THE WARNING SCHEDULE — HOW ENFORCEMENT ACTUALLY WORKS
We are not going to surprise anyone. We are not going to ambush anyone. We are going to give clear, repeated, documented, escalating warnings — to the illegal alien, to their employer, and to their bank — and then we will act.
Months 1 through 8: The Preparation Period
Non-felons sell their assets, transfer their money, and prepare to depart. No penalties. No interference. Total freedom to leave with everything they own.
Month 9: First Warning — To the Individual, the Employer, and the Bank
This is when the machine starts. Using artificial intelligence and the capabilities of the NSA, we begin direct notification on three fronts at once.
To the Individual:
“You have 90 days remaining. We have verified your identity, your bank accounts, your employment, your address, and your assets. You are not hidden. You cannot hide. Leave now, while you can still leave with everything you own. If you are still here in month 13, you will lose all of it — and you will be removed.”
To the Employer:
“You currently employ an individual who is in this country illegally and whose 12-month departure deadline expires at the end of month 12. You are hereby on official notice. You have 90 days to prepare for their lawful termination. If this individual is still on your payroll in month 13, your company will be assessed escalating federal fines beginning at $50,000 per worker and rising every single month until you comply. These fines are non-dischargeable, personally guaranteed by corporate officers, and will not be waived.”
To the Bank:
“Your institution currently maintains accounts for an individual who is in this country illegally and whose 12-month departure deadline expires at the end of month 12. You are hereby on official notice. You have 90 days to prepare for the lawful closure of these accounts. If these accounts remain open in month 13, your institution will be assessed escalating federal fines beginning at $100,000 per account and rising every single month until you comply. These fines are non-dischargeable and will be collected.”
Months 10 and 11: Continued and Escalating Warnings
The warnings continue — every week, on every channel, to the individual, the employer, and the bank. Escalating in tone and frequency. There will be no excuse for anyone — individual, company, or financial institution — to claim they didn’t know.
Month 12: Final Deadline
This is the last month. After this, the door closes and the penalties begin.
Month 13: The Penalties Begin — And They Do Not Stop
If you are still here in month 13, and if your employer or your bank is still protecting you in month 13, here is what happens. And I want every American to see these numbers, because these numbers are the reason this plan will actually work.
—
THE FINANCIAL PENALTIES — EMPLOYERS WHO KEEP ILLEGAL ALIENS ON THE PAYROLL
These fines are assessed per illegal worker retained, and they increase every single month until compliance. There is no cap. There is no negotiation. There is no bankruptcy protection.
Month Fine Per Illegal Worker Retained
Month 13 $50,000
Month 14 $75,000
Month 15 $100,000
Month 16 $150,000
Month 17 $200,000
Month 18 $300,000
Month 19 $400,000
Month 20 $500,000
Month 21 $650,000
Month 22 $800,000
Month 23 $1,000,000
Month 24 and beyond $1,500,000 per worker per month
Why this is fair:
A company with 10 illegal workers on the payroll in month 13 is looking at $500,000 in fines for that one month.** By month 18, that same company is looking at **$3,000,000 per month. By month 24, $15,000,000 per month.
No company on earth can absorb that. And that is the point. The fine does not need to be collected for years. It needs to be large enough that the rational decision — made within the first month — is to terminate the worker and avoid the fine entirely.
And there is a safe harbor: Any employer who terminates the individual during the month in question has that month’s fine waived in full for that worker. We are not trying to collect money. We are trying to get compliance. The fines only exist for those who refuse.
Additional penalties stacked on top:
· Personal liability. Corporate officers, owners, and HR directors who signed off on continued employment are personally liable for these fines. Your house, your car, your personal accounts — all exposed.
· Non-dischargeable in bankruptcy. Filing Chapter 11 does not erase these fines. They survive.
· Loss of federal contracts. Any company with federal contracts that refuses to comply loses all federal contracts immediately and is barred from bidding for 10 years.
· Loss of licenses. Business licenses, professional licenses, contractor licenses — revoked.
· Criminal referral. At $1,000,000 per worker per month, continued non-compliance becomes conspiracy to harbor illegal aliens under 8 U.S.C. § 1324. Criminal prosecution follows.
· RICO exposure. Pattern non-compliance across multiple locations triggers RICO consideration.
—
THE FINANCIAL PENALTIES — BANKS AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THAT KEEP ILLEGAL ALIEN ACCOUNTS OPEN
These fines are assessed per account maintained, and they increase every single month until compliance. No cap. No negotiation. No forbearance.
Month Fine Per Account Maintained
Month 13 $100,000
Month 14 $150,000
Month 15 $250,000
Month 16 $400,000
Month 17 $600,000
Month 18 $1,000,000
Month 19 $1,500,000
Month 20 $2,000,000
Month 21 $3,000,000
Month 22 $4,000,000
Month 23 $6,000,000
Month 24 and beyond $10,000,000 per account per month
Why this is fair:
A bank maintaining 500 illegal alien accounts in month 13 is looking at $50,000,000 in fines for that one month.** By month 18, **$500,000,000 per month. By month 24, $5,000,000,000 per month.
No bank in America survives that. And again — that is the entire point. The fine is not designed to be collected. It is designed to be so catastrophic that no bank executive in his right mind would let it reach month 13.
And there is a safe harbor: Any bank that closes the account during the month in question has that month’s fine waived in full for that account. Compliance is free. Defiance is financial suicide.
Additional penalties stacked on top:
· Personal liability for executives. The CEO, CFO, Chief Compliance Officer, and the branch manager who approved the account are personally liable. Personal assets exposed. Personal homes. Personal retirement accounts.
· Non-dischargeable in bankruptcy.
· Loss of federal deposit insurance privileges. After month 18 of non-compliance, a bank’s eligibility for federal deposit insurance privileges will be formally reviewed and challenged.
· Loss of all federal contracts and federal deposit business. No Treasury accounts. No federal payroll processing. No federal benefits disbursement.
· Charter review. After month 20, the bank’s charter and operating authority will be referred for revocation review.
· Criminal referral. Continued non-compliance at these levels triggers criminal referral under 31 U.S.C. money laundering statutes and 8 U.S.C. § 1324.
· Loss of payment network access. Referral to Federal Reserve and network operators for suspension of ACH, wire, and card network access.

THE SELF-FUNDING ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM
Here is the part that should make every American smile.
This entire enforcement program will be paid for by the people who fight it.
The banks and companies that refuse to comply — the ones who try to protect illegal aliens on their payrolls and in their accounts — will pay fines that will fund the Department of Homeland Security, ICE, the AI surveillance systems, the financial tracking infrastructure, and the removal operations themselves.
We will not need a new appropriation from Congress. We will not need to raise taxes on working Americans. We will not need to borrow another dollar from China.
The companies and banks who obstruct enforcement will finance the enforcement.
That is not just justice. That is elegant.
—
WHY THESE FINES ARE FAIR — THE ARGUMENT I WILL MAKE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
I know what the critics will say. They will say these fines are too high. They will say they are cruel. They will say they will destroy businesses and banks.
Here is my answer:
1. Nobody has to pay a single dollar of these fines. Every fine in this document can be reduced to zero with one phone call and one termination letter. The safe harbor is real, it is generous, and it is available at every single stage. Compliance is always free.
2. The fines are proportionate to the number of people being protected. A company with one illegal worker pays fines based on one worker. A company with 10,000 pays based on 10,000. We are not punishing small businesses into oblivion. We are punishing the scale of the lawbreaking.
3. The fines must exceed the profit of non-compliance. If the fine for keeping an illegal worker is $5,000, a company will simply budget it as a cost of doing business — which is exactly what has happened for the last forty years. The fine must be high enough that no rational executive would ever choose it. That is the only way a fine actually works.
4. Every warning comes nine months in advance. Nobody is blindsided. Nobody is ambushed. Employers and banks get nine months of notice, then three months of escalating weekly warnings, and then a full month of grace before the first dollar is assessed. That is more notice than the IRS gives for a late tax filing.
5. The banks and companies that comply will be rewarded. Companies that cooperate will receive federal support, priority consideration for federal contracts, and public recognition. Banks that cooperate will be recognized as compliant institutions. We will make compliance profitable and defiance fatal.
—
WHY I REJECTED THE $2,000 SELF-DEPORTATION PAYOUT
Some Americans have suggested that we should offer illegal aliens $2,000 per family to self-deport. I have considered this idea seriously. I understand the argument: it might be cheaper than deportation, and it might speed up the process. But after careful evaluation, I have concluded that it is a bad idea. Here is why:
1. We cannot afford it.
Our national debt is over $37 trillion. We are borrowing money from our children just to keep the lights on. We cannot hand out American tax dollars to people who broke our laws. Every dollar we spend on this is a dollar we cannot spend on our veterans, our seniors, our infrastructure, or our border security.
2. It rewards lawbreaking.
If we pay people to leave after they entered illegally, what message does that send? It tells the world: come to America illegally, and we will pay you to go home. That is an invitation for more illegal immigration, not less. It is a magnet, not a deterrent.
3. It is not fair to the American taxpayer.
The American people have already been forced to pay for the costs of illegal immigration — the schools, the hospitals, the jails, the welfare. Now some want to force them to pay again, this time to send people home. That is not justice. That is a slap in the face to every hard-working American who plays by the rules.
4. It is not fair to legal immigrants.
Millions of people came to this country legally. They waited in line. They followed the rules. They paid the fees. They took the tests. They did it the right way. We should not reward those who cut the line with a $2,000 check. That is an insult to every legal immigrant in America.
5. The 12-month period is the humane offer.
We are giving them one full year to sell their assets, transfer their money, and leave with everything they own. That is the mercy. That is the compassion. We do not need to add a cash payment on top of it.
My Commitment:
If I am elected President, there will be no $2,000 payout. The American taxpayer will not fund the departure of those who broke our laws. They will fund their own departure by selling what they accumulated while they were here. That is the fair and just approach.
—
THE FULL-COURT PRESS STRATEGY — TARGETING FELONS AND NON-FELONS SIMULTANEOUSLY
This is not a phased approach. This is a full-court press.
We will not wait. We will not prioritize one group over another. We will target felons immediately and give non-felons their 12-month clock at the same time.
The strategy is simple:
1. Secure the border — stop the flow of new illegals
2. Remove felons immediately — through targeted financial enforcement, jail transfers, and intelligence-led operations
3. Start the 12-month clock for all non-felons on day one
4. Target employers — heavy fines for companies that hire felons or that refuse to terminate non-felons by month 13
5. Debank after month 12 — shut down bank accounts of anyone still here in month 13
6. Cut off welfare — no benefits for illegals except K-12 education and adult English/civics classes
7. Monitor social media and protests — coordinated with removal priorities
8. Remove everyone who is still here in month 13 — through DHS, and with steep federal penalties on any employer or bank that obstructs
—
SANCTUARY CITIES — A SMART APPROACH
Sanctuary cities will not receive any federal funds under my presidency.
However, I will not be foolish and try to force sanctuary city leaders or sanctuary city jails that don’t want to work with us. That would be a waste of time and resources.
Instead, we will work with all jails and officials that WANT to work with us. Those that cooperate will receive federal support. Those that refuse will simply be bypassed.
We will target felons and their families with de-banking — shutting down their bank accounts, cutting off their money, and making it impossible for them to live in America. We will find intelligent ways to remove them without relying on uncooperative local officials.
The beauty of this approach: We don’t need their permission. We don’t need their cooperation. We will use the tools of the federal government — financial pressure, AI surveillance, and targeted enforcement — to remove felons and non-felons alike without kicking down doors in hostile cities.
—
SECURING THE BORDER — CONCERTINA RAZOR WIRE MACHINES
We will secure the southern border in 3 months using concertina razor wire machines — 100 times cheaper than Trump’s fake wall.
Trump promised a wall. He failed. He built a fraction of what he promised, and it cost billions. I will not make that mistake.
I will deploy concertina razor wire machines that can rapidly deploy miles of razor wire along the border. This is:
· 100 times cheaper than Trump’s wall
· Deployable in 3 months
· More effective — razor wire is a proven deterrent
· Less wasteful — no massive concrete project with cost overruns
—
MY APPROACH IF I AM ELECTED: AI AND FINANCIAL ENFORCEMENT
I am asking the American people to seriously look at my policies, consider them, and if you agree with them, support me and vote for me. I am not asking you to trust me because I am a politician. I am asking you to look at the plan and decide for yourself if it makes sense.
If I am elected President, here is what I will do.
I will not use ICE to physically arrest felons.
I will not do any more street arrests. I will not kick down doors in the middle of the night. I will not put officers in harm’s way when there is a safer, smarter, and more effective way to remove criminals from this country.
The current administration’s approach of grabbing people in public — on sidewalks, in parking lots, in front of their children — is dangerous and unnecessary. I do not want ICE officers getting shot at because they are forced into confrontations that could have been avoided. I do not want innocent people caught in the crossfire. I do not want the chaos that comes from mass roundups.
If I am elected, we will do this very safely and very wisely. We will use the tools of the 21st century.
HOW IT WILL WORK
If I am elected President, we will use artificial intelligence with the NSA, the Department of Justice, and the Department of the Treasury to immediately shut down felons and their families. We will not put a single ICE officer in danger to do it.
Here is how it will work:
1. Identify the felons. We will use biometric data, court records, incarceration data, and AI-powered data analysis to find exactly who the illegal alien felons are and where they are living. We will know who they are before they even know we are looking.
2. Shut down their bank accounts. Once identified, we will immediately freeze and shut down their bank accounts. No money in. No money out. No ability to pay rent, buy food, or move funds.
3. Go after their families. The same applies to their families. If a felon is living with family members who are here illegally, those accounts will be frozen too.
4. Shut down their jobs. We will go after the businesses that employ them with heavy fines. We will mandate E-Verify nationwide. If you are here illegally and you have committed felonies, you will not have a job to go to. Your employer will be fined, and if they keep hiring illegals, they will be bankrupted.
5. Cut off their ability to wire money home. If you are here illegally and you have a felony record, you will not be able to send money to your home country. We will work with financial institutions to flag and freeze any suspicious transfers.
6. Monitor and track. We will use AI to track social media activity on all platforms. We will monitor protest events. We will watch for any signs of anti-American activity.
NO PHYSICAL ARRESTS NEEDED
Once we shut down their bank accounts, their jobs, and their ability to move money, they will have no choice but to leave. They cannot survive in this country without money. They cannot survive without a job. They cannot survive when they cannot even open a bank account. They will self-deport — not because we put a gun to their head, but because we removed every reason and every ability to stay.
This is the most humane form of enforcement. No one gets shot. No one gets kicked down a door. No ICE officers are put in danger. No families are traumatized by armed agents in their homes. The criminals simply find that America is no longer a place where they can operate, and they leave.
The tools we will use if I am elected:
· Palantir and AI-powered data analysis
· NSA surveillance capabilities
· Social media monitoring on all platforms
· Drones with AI technology to videotape protest marches
· Financial tracking — monitoring bank accounts, wire transfers, and remittances
· E-Verify — mandatory for all employers
· ITIN restrictions — freeze ITIN usage for those who break the rules
· Asset forfeiture — seize houses, cars, and cash from criminal enterprises and their families
—
WE WILL TARGET THE FAMILIES OF FELONS
I want to be very clear about this.
The 12-month departure period is a mercy for those who have not committed felonies. It is not for criminals. It is not for the families of criminals. Criminals get the full weight of the law.
If you are a felon, or if you are the family member of a felon, you do not get 12 months. You do not get a choice. You get removed.
We will go after felons and their families with extreme financial measures.
If a felon is here illegally, we will not just go after the felon. We will go after the entire family. We will not stop until every avenue of support is cut off, every asset is seized, and the felon has no choice but to leave or face total financial ruin.
We will confiscate all of their assets. All of them.
Here is exactly what we will take:
· Their houses. Every home, every piece of real estate, every property they own or co-own.
· Their cars. Every vehicle, every truck, every motorcycle.
· Their bank accounts. Every checking account, every savings account, every account in their name.
· Their investment accounts. Every stock portfolio, every brokerage account, every retirement account.
· Their cryptocurrency. Every Bitcoin wallet, every crypto exchange account, every digital asset. If they think they can hide their money in crypto, they are wrong. We have the tools to find it and seize it.
· Their cash. Every dollar they have hidden, buried, or stored away.
· Their business interests. Every company they own, every partnership they are part of, every business they operate.
· Their personal property. Every piece of jewelry, every valuable, every item of worth.
We will seize all of it. And we will do it fast.
Why we go after the family:
If the family members can help the felon, then the felon can still survive. They can still pay rent. They can still buy food. They can still move money. They can still hide. That is a loophole, and we are going to close it permanently.
If a felon’s family members are here illegally, their bank accounts will be frozen. Their jobs will be targeted. Their assets will be seized. Their ability to help the felon will be cut off completely. There is no grace period. There is no escape.
The goal is to put pressure on the felon from their own family.
When the family realizes that their own house is being seized, their own car is gone, their own bank account is frozen, and their own stock account and Bitcoin are being taken — all because their family member is a felon who refuses to leave — they will put pressure on that felon to self-deport. They will not want to lose everything they have built. They will not want to be financially destroyed because of one person’s decision to stay.
The message is simple:
If you are a felon and you are here illegally, your best decision is to self-deport immediately. If you do not, you will lose everything. Your house. Your car. Your bank account. Your stocks. Your Bitcoin. Your cash. Everything you own will be seized and taken from you.
And your family will lose everything too.
This is not cruelty. This is consequences. If you break our laws, you do not get to live comfortably in America while the American taxpayer foots the bill. You will leave, or you will lose everything.
—
TARGETED OPERATIONS FOR VIOLENT FELONS WHO DO NOT LEAVE
Now, I want to be clear. There are some violent criminals — cartel members, human traffickers, gang leaders — who will not leave just because we freeze their bank accounts. They are a different category. For those individuals, we will still use ICE and federal law enforcement, but we will do it with intelligence-led policing, not mass sweeps.
When a local police department arrests a suspect for a crime — say, assault or drug trafficking — their fingerprints are run through the system. If they are in the country illegally, we get a hit. Instead of ICE agents kicking down doors in a dark neighborhood, they simply take custody of the individual directly from the local jail. It’s a transfer, not a raid.
We will use biometric data, court records, and incarceration data to find exactly where the violent felons are. Officers go in with a specific target, specific intelligence, and the element of surprise. No mass sweeps. No panic. No chaos. Just targeted, professional, safe enforcement.
—
FOLLOW THE MONEY — BANKRUPT THE CRIMINAL OPERATIONS
If you want to drain the swamp, you have to dry up the funding. My administration will not just deport felons — we will bankrupt their operations.
Freeze and Forfeit Assets: Aggressively enforce asset forfeiture laws against criminal enterprises — drug cartels, human traffickers, gang networks. Seize houses, cars, and cash. Use that money to fund border security.
Cut Off Remittance Flows to Cartels: Work with financial institutions to flag suspicious transactions tied to known gang members or illegal aliens with felony records. If you’re here illegally and committing crimes, you lose the ability to wire money home.
Expand Financial Data Sharing with ICE: Direct Treasury to give ICE real-time access to financial intelligence. If an illegal alien with a felony warrant tries to open a bank account or move money, we’ll know immediately.
Work with Banks and FinTech: Incentivize banks, PayPal, Venmo, and CashApp to cooperate with federal law enforcement to flag and freeze accounts tied to criminal activity.
This isn’t just about deportation. It’s about disarmament — taking the financial weapons out of the hands of criminals. If you come here illegally and break our laws, you will lose your freedom, and you will lose every dollar you tried to steal from the American people.
—
ATTRITION THROUGH ENFORCEMENT — MAKING DEPARTURE THE NATURAL CHOICE
We are going to make it economically unsustainable to remain in this country illegally past the 12-month deadline.
Mandate E-Verify Nationwide: The single biggest magnet for illegal immigration is jobs. If you can’t get a job, you can’t survive.
Revoke and Restrict ITINs: Freeze or restrict ITIN usage for those who overstay the 12-month period. No tax refunds. No ability to open bank accounts. No credit. You become financially invisible.
Target Remittance Fees: Implement stricter verification for wire transfers. If you cannot prove legal status, you cannot send money out of the country.
Leverage State and Local Cooperation: Deny professional and occupational licenses to illegal immigrants who have overstayed. No licensed contractor, cosmetologist, or real estate agent.
This is the 21st-century solution to a decades-old problem. We are not going to round up 11 million people. We are going to use the power of the U.S. economy to restore the rule of law.

THE 14TH AMENDMENT FIGHT — RESTORING ORIGINAL INTENT AND ENDING ANCHOR BABIES
The 14th Amendment was never meant to grant citizenship to children of illegal aliens.
The 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868 specifically to grant citizenship to freed black slaves after the Civil War. It was a response to the Dred Scott decision, which had declared that African Americans could not be citizens. The amendment’s authors intended to grant citizenship to those “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States — a phrase that meant full allegiance to the United States, not mere physical presence.
The original intent was clear: children born to those who owe allegiance to another foreign power were not automatically citizens.
Sen. Jacob Howard, who introduced the Citizenship Clause, explicitly stated that it would exclude children of diplomats, foreign ministers, and others not fully subject to U.S. laws. Sen. Lyman Trumbull clarified that “subject to the jurisdiction” means “complete” jurisdiction, not merely physical presence, and excludes those “not owing allegiance to anybody else.”
This was never intended to grant automatic citizenship to:
· Children of illegal immigrants
· Children of tourists who give birth in America
· Children of those crossing the border to have “anchor babies”
The Anchor Baby Problem
Nearly 400,000 “anchor babies” are born in the United States each year — children born to non-citizens who automatically acquire U.S. citizenship under the current misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment. These children become “anchors” that allow parents and extended family members to obtain legal status down the line.
Reports estimate that illegal immigrants and their U.S.-born children impose a net annual cost of $150.6 billion on American taxpayers. American taxpayers are subsidizing this fraud.
The Wong Kim Ark Case Does Not Support Anchor Babies
Critics often cite United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), which affirmed citizenship for a child born in the U.S. to Chinese parents who were lawful residents. However, the court’s ruling did NOT address children of individuals in the country unlawfully or temporarily. Applying this precedent to today’s illegal immigrants and birth tourists overextends its scope.
My Commitment — Taking This Fight to the Supreme Court
I will fight against the current Supreme Court interpretation and get the best constitutional lawyers — Robert Barnes as the leader, along with Jay Sekulow, Mat Staver, Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch, and other Patriot lawyers — to restore the original intent of the 14th Amendment.
I will take this fight all the way to the Supreme Court. This is not a political statement — it is a constitutional battle to restore the original meaning of the Constitution.
We will argue that:
· The 14th Amendment was for freed slaves — not for those who break our laws
· The phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” means full allegiance to the United States, not mere physical presence
· Illegal aliens owe allegiance to their home country, not to the United States
· Children born to illegal aliens do not pass the “jurisdiction” test and are not entitled to U.S. citizenship
· Congress has the power to define the scope of the Citizenship Clause
The Legal Argument:
The 14th Amendment has a two-part test for granting American citizenship:
1. Was the individual born or naturalized in the United States?
2. Is that individual subject to the “jurisdiction” of the United States?
Children of illegal aliens cannot pass the second part of the test. They owe allegiance to their parents’ home country, not to the United States. They are not fully “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States as the amendment’s authors intended.
As Rep. Nancy Mace stated: “American citizenship is a privilege, not a prize handed out for breaking our laws.”

TOM HOMAN — THE BORDER CZAR
I will bring back Tom Homan as the head of immigration enforcement. Homan is a career law enforcement officer with over three decades of experience. He has stated there are over 20 million illegal aliens in America. He is hiring 10,000 new enforcement agents and has vowed to give mass deportations “one hell of a shot.”

THE CHRISTIAN ARGUMENT
I am a Christian. I believe in mercy. But I also believe in order.
Mercy (The Good Samaritan): We help those in need who are willing to help themselves.
Order (Romans 13): The government is instituted by God to punish evildoers. We punish the criminals.
Assimilation (The Story of Ruth): Ruth was a foreigner who said, “Your people will be my people.” She adopted the culture and faith. But Ruth came legally, with allegiance, and she was welcomed. That is the standard.
Dignity (The Prodigal Son): When the prodigal son returned home, his father ran to him and embraced him. He did not stay in a foreign land and demand that the foreign land provide for him. He went home. And he was restored.
My message to those who are here illegally is this: Go home. Take what you have learned. Build your nation. Make your nation great again. You have a country. You have a people. You have a future there. Go and claim it.
America has been a blessing to you. Now go be a blessing to your own people.
That is not hatred. That is love. That is the Christian position. That is the American position.
