Auron MacIntyre Interviews Peter Brimelow

Among other things, bring on the fistfight over a Constitutional Amendment abolishing Birthright Citizenship!

Peter Brimelow writes: I am most grateful to Auron MacIntyre for interviewing me on June 22. It produced an impressive flow of new subscribers to this substack (it’s free, but some heroic individuals paid!). We covered a lot of ground—including my contention that the recent Makerfield byelection, literally held in my and John Derbyshire’s ancestral hearth of Wigan, was actually a strong result for British immigration patriots, masked by poor expectation management and the usual media mendacity. The whole thing is viewable below. But here I’m just transcribing our discussion of the imminent U.S. Supreme Court decision on Birthright Citizenship, the jugular of the Great Replacement, which begins at 43:57.

p.s. I had a haircut today

Peter Brimelow: The other issue, as you have mentioned, is Birthright Citizenship. God knows what the Roberts court is going to do. He’s not distinguished by courage in these areas. But it doesn’t actually matter because what we’re talking about is an Executive Order.

At VDARE.com, we were writing about Birthright Citizenship, the need to cut it off, for 25 years but it never occurred to us that it could be done by Executive Order. We assumed it was going to have to be done by statute, there are ways to do it, or by a Constitutional Amendment. If it was done by Executive Order, that could be reversed,

What we need, of course, is to get this issue into politics, because most Americans have absolutely no idea at all that, if you come here illegally, or even as a tourist, and have a child here, that child’s an American citizen.

And not only do they have no idea about it, when they discover it they get extremely angry. They think that the whole thing is crazy, as of course it is.

That’s why I like the idea of a Constitutional Amendment. That has to be ratified by two-thirds of the states. So in two-thirds of the states, there has to be a fistfight over whether or not we should have Birthright Citizenship.

Make the Democrats stand up and justify it. That’s going to do them no good at all with Americans.

I would like to think that the Trump Administration has a whole battery of responses to a bad ruling---there are both moves to get a Constitutional Amendment and also statutory reform introduced in the House at the moment. They’ve just not been taken up by the Republican leadership.

They should be taken up if this decision goes the wrong way. They should be taken up right away—immediately.

I’d like to think the Trump Administration is well prepared for that, but, you know he’s had all these foreign wars to fight. and stuff like that.

But I am confident Steven Miller is thinking about it.
