Two Demtards Came After Me on Birthright Citizenship
Episode summary

Steven Crowder dedicates the episode to attacking the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship ruling, arguing that children born to illegal immigrants and birth tourists should not receive automatic citizenship. The conservative commentator, who was born in Detroit but spent 15 years in Canada before returning to the U.S., frames the debate around cultural assimilation and national loyalty. Crowder plays viral footage of Somali American children declaring Somalia "the best" and uses it to argue that multiculturalism has failed and that parents must actively indoctrinate their children with American nationalist values rather than letting them form their own conclusions. He explicitly states that racial and ethnic proximity to the white Anglo-Saxon founders is necessary to maintain American values, while claiming the argument isn't entirely race-based. Crowder attacks critics including Mehdi Hasan and Shri Thanedar who pointed out his Canadian upbringing, arguing his American-born status and citizen father make his situation different from birth tourism or children of illegal immigrants. He praises Justice Clarence Thomas's dissent arguing the 14th Amendment was intended for formerly enslaved Black Americans with no other homeland, not for children of foreigners. The episode includes extended discussion of what Crowder calls the need to restore social pressure for immigrants to assimilate and abandon loyalty to their countries of origin. Throughout, Crowder frames opposition to birthright citizenship as defending American culture against exploitation by China, Somalia, Guatemala and other nations he characterizes as inferior.
