Why Birthright Citizenship Is a Legislative Matter—Not Judicial or Executive

By Michael Taylor | ThaWilsonBlock Magazine The question of who qualifies for American citizenship is not just a moral or political debate — it is a constitutional one. For over a century, courts and executive agencies have applied birthright citizenship in a way that defies the intent of the 14th Amendment and undermines Congress’s constitutional authority. This practice, particularly as it applies to children born to undocumented immigrants, raises a serious challenge: > Can individuals derive irrevocable constitutional benefits from ongoing unlawful presence? And if not, why has the judiciary allowed it? This question strikes at the heart of the rule of law. The answer lies in decades of misinterpretation, judicial drift, and administrative neglect.

National Geographic announces Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2016

American wildlife photojournalist Tim Laman was named winner of the prestigious annual competition for his image Entwined Lives, showing a critically endangered Bornean orangutan in the Indonesian rainforest. The award is given for a story told in just six images, which are judged on their story-telling power as a whole as well as their individual quality.

The images will go on display at the Natural History Museum in London from 21 October, before touring internationally.

He observed the animal's behavior, then spent three days using ropes to climb the tree, setting up GoPro cameras that he could trigger remotely. This allowed him to capture the orangutan's face from above, with a wide-angle perspective of the forest below.

Wild orangutans face habitat loss from agriculture and logging. This, combined with increased poaching for illegal pet trade, poses huge challenges to the species.

Tim says, 'Protecting their remaining habitat is critical for orangutans to survive. If we want to preserve a great ape that retains both its vast, culturally transmitted knowledge of how to survive in the rainforest and the full richness of wild orangutan behavior, then we need to protect orangutans in the wild now.'
