Rep. Andy Ogles opens by reacting to an ICE confrontation — a man who rammed ICE vehicles rather than submit to arrest — as a symbol of the broader immigration dysfunction. He then addresses the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship ruling directly, calling it a serious error [1] — Andy Ogles "Rep. Andy Ogles' Anchors Away bill would redefine 'alien' legislatively, so that pregnant non-citizens and non-green-card-holders cannot us…" 1:00:50 . Ogles argues Congress has spent decades abdicating its legislative responsibility, kicking these questions to the Supreme Court rather than writing clear law. His proposed remedy is the Anchors Away bill, which would redefine 'alien' under federal statute so that pregnant non-citizens and non-green-card-holders cannot give birth on US soil to confer automatic citizenship. His legal foundation is Jacob Howard's own Senate testimony from 1866, which explicitly stated the 14th Amendment 'will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners or aliens' [2] — Andy Ogles "Congress for too long has allowed the Supreme Court to be a legislative body.

Rep. Andy Ogles' Anchors Away bill would redefine 'alien' legislatively, so that pregnant non-citizens and non-green-card-holders cannot use US soil to confer citizenship on their children. Ogles cites the original author of the 14th Amendment, Jacob Howard, who explicitly said it would not cover foreigners — Congress just failed to codify that intent.
Approximately one million children of Chinese nationals have been born on US soil — mostly in places like Guam and Los Angeles — and are being raised in China. Rep. Ogles, as chair of the Cyber Infrastructure Protection subcommittee, says classified briefings confirm China, China, China as the top threat. Every one of those children is constitutionally eligible to run for the US presidency.

The Save America Act enjoys over 80% approval across all partisan, racial, and ideological lines — yet the Senate, under John Thune, refuses to move it. Rep. Ogles says if Thune won't answer the mandate of the American people, he should step aside for someone like Mike Lee.
