Activist Ted Hayes argues that the 14th Amendment was intended specifically for emancipated slaves and is being "twisted" to grant birthright citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants. Hayes claims this "anchor baby" custom steals the birthright of Black Americans and creates direct economic competition that undercuts their salaries.
The hosts question why conservative think tanks do not more aggressively use the issue of illegal immigration to win over Black voters. They argue that the "anchor baby" loophole is a direct theft of the birthright intended for the descendants of slaves under the Civil Rights Act of 1866. The segment suggests that both political parties benefit from illegal immigration at the elite level, which is why the issue is rarely framed as a threat to Black American interests.
