Daniel Miller posted the best response to the birthright citizenship ruling: This morning, the Supreme Court of the United States struck down the President's executive order on birthright citizenship, six to three. The order is dead. The rule stands. Anyone born on Texas soil is a citizen of the United States, no matter who the parents are or whether they had any right to be here in the first place. And Texas does not get a say in any of it. That is what it means to be part of this union. Washington decides who is a Texan. Not the people of Texas. Not the Texas Legislature. Nine lawyers in a building a thousand miles away, and as of this morning the question is closed. Understand what the Court actually did. It didn't rule on some technicality. It made political, economic, and cultural suicide the official and permanent policy of the union Texas is chained to, and put it past the reach of any vote you will ever cast. The executive order was the one lever an elected government had left. The Court broke the lever and told the President to take it up with Congress. This is worse than what Europe did to itself. The European Union's open-door asylum regime has sent one old country after another into a death spiral, but a member state could at least fight it, and in the end walk away from it. Britain did exactly that. There is no such exit here. A court imposed the policy, no Texan chose that court, and no Texan can remove it. The only branch that tried to change course was just overruled. So how does Texas nullify a policy that is killing it? It cannot. Texans have tried the resolutions and the lawsuits and a decade of elections, and watched every one of them change nothing. The only nullification left is the ultimate one. Texas becomes a self-governing independent nation. It takes back what every free nation already holds without asking anyone: the power to control its own borders and decide who becomes a Texan. That power would not be on loan from a court, and Washington could not revoke it on a Tuesday in June. It would be Texas's, finally and for good. What the Court locked in this morning is not how the free world governs itself. Automatic citizenship for anyone born on the soil, whoever the parents are and however they got here, is the exception now, and a shrinking one. The United Kingdom ended it. Australia ended it. Japan never had it. Switzerland decides who becomes Swiss and puts the question to its own people. Every one of those countries made the call for itself and answered to no court but its own, because that is what a self-governing nation does. Texas cannot. Texas is treated as a province. Texas was a nation before it was a state. Sam Houston promised the day would come when Texas would again lift its head and stand among the nations. No court will hand Texas that day. No Congress will grant it. Texans win it themselves, at the ballot box, the day they stop asking Washington for what is already theirs. There is one way left to take back our border, our immigration, and our citizenship. One. TEXIT. ~Daniel Miller, president of the Texas Nationalist Movement @texasnatmov
