Jim Banks (R-Ind.): \u201cWhat would pass Constitutional muster is for Congress to act, instead of the President, and declare an invasion of illegals into our country, and explicitly makes the point that all nine Supreme Court justices have agreed on. That the babies of invaders are not eligible for birthright citizenship. This is important we don\u2019t have to pass a constitutional amendment we don\u2019t have to overturn a supreme court decision, but congress can pass my bill that says that the tens of millions of illegals that have flooded into our country ate invaders and those invaders babies aren\u2019t eligible. We have declared nazi spies, terrorists, even pirates we\u2019ve declared as invaders, that\u2019s a drop in the bucket compared to the tens of millions of illegals we let into our country. A quarter million babies of illegals are declared citizens every year.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt means something to be an American citizen. It is a gift to all of us who were born and grew up in this country to be an American Citizens. And tens of millions of illegals who flood into our country, in many cases, who don\u2019t believe in America, who don\u2019t believe in what America stands for and then their babies are automatically granted citizenship. There is something deeply wrong with that.\u201d\n\nKey Excerpts on Dr. Anthony Fauci:\n\n\u201cIf Anthony Fauci was innocent, Joe Biden wouldn\u2019t have given him a pardon and that a key takeaway here, they are trying to shield him from any responsibility for what he did to abuse his power and position. Whether it was profiting off the vaccine or how he misguided the American people, he abused the power that he exercised during the pandemic that brought so much devastation and harm to families and this great country. It was a slap in the face to every American, to hear him in that hearing last week to provide no answers. He insulted the American people by not answering any question at all.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-08-06T07:37:31Z", "2026-08-06T07:38:34Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.banks.senate.gov/news/press-releases/icymi-sen-banks-joins-human-events-daily-on-real-americas-voice/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8586389012634754, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
