Washington – 23 January 2025
1. Wide of Republican members of Congress arriving for press event
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Brian Babin, (R) Texas:
"President Trump has made it clear that restoring fairness to our immigration system and defending the true intent of the 14th Amendment are central to his vision of making America great again. His historic executive order to end birthright citizenship marks a critical step forward. And now, with the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2025, we can solidify these reforms into lasting law and codify them."
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Ralph Norman, (R) South Carolina:
"CIS also estimates that nearly 400,000 expectant mothers cross the border illegally in hopes of giving birth in the United States."
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Mike Collins, (R) Georgia:
"Common sense tells me that these folks ain’t over here on vacation, y’all, and just happen to go in labor. They’re coming across the border down there illegally, and they’re using us like the International piggy bank. Well, two things are about to happen. Number one, that border is going to be closed. Illegal immigration. Don’t come across it unless you come across it legally. Number two, if you want to come into this country from now on, this is America first. Come over here. Help assimilate and advance the American culture."
5. Zoom out from the podium
UPSOUND Rep. Brian Babin, (R) Texas: We’ll see how this works out."
