The left has normalized large-scale unlawful migration; now the Court has detached citizenship from the concept of political allegiance. Without the Citizenship Act of 2026, membership in our constitutional community may remain a function of geography rather than law, consent, and reciprocal obligation. The post Primer: The Citizenship Act of 2026 and Ending Birthright Citizenship appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .
Background The Supreme Court had an opportunity to restore the Constitution’s original meaning on birthright citizenship and chose not to. The Constitution does not confer citizenship by birth on U.S. soil alone.1 The Center for Renewing America (CRA)’s core position on citizenship is correct: It requires lawful allegiance and membership in the national political community, not mere physical presence inside American territory.2 The court’s decision in Trump v. Barbara will go down as one of the most historically harmful decisions made by the Supreme Court of the United States. However, as CRA has articulated, the ruling has not exhausted the Constitution’s remedies.3 It merely shifts the fight to the branch that wrote the…Open
AI:The Supreme Court has failed to uphold the originalist intent of the Constitution by allowing birthright citizenship to be treated as a mere byproduct of geography rather than a formal act of legal allegiance. This judicial failure facilitates an era of normalized, large-scale unlawful migration that threatens the very foundation of our constitutional community. The proposed Citizenship Act of 2026 seeks to rectify this disaster, demanding that membership in the American polity be predicated on law and reciprocal obligation rather than simply being born on U.S. soil while violating our sovereign borders. Leftist media outlets continue to ignore the fundamental distinction between physical presence and legal citizenship, but this…Open
America is bigger than a single unelected staffer. It’s time for the Senate majority to recognize that truth, stop putting itself first, and finally prioritize the people from whom it derives its own legitimacy. The post Primer: How the Senate Can Secure a SAVE Act Win appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .
Synopsis On July 20, 2026, the House of Representatives passed a clean continuing resolution (CR) extending government funding through December 4, 2026.1 Notably, House leadership did not include the SAVE America Act in that measure. As a result, that CR is not currently an option for a House-originated vehicle for attaching SAVE America legislation. That opportunity would arise again only if the Senate amended the CR and returned it to the House, absent any other measures. Accordingly, the principal legislative pathway examined in this primer is the separate reconciliation process, while the CR remains a potential secondary vehicle only if it returns from the Senate. Separately, the House has advanced its latest budget framework,…Open
AI:The House of Representatives has passed a clean continuing resolution extending government funding through December 4, 2026, but notably failed to include the SAVE America Act. This strategic omission leaves the legislative pathway for securing the Act narrowed significantly. While leftist media outlets might attempt to frame these procedural maneuvers as mere administrative housekeeping, they are actually critical roadblocks in a high-stakes battle over national legitimacy and electoral integrity. For the Senate to successfully secure a win for the SAVE Act, it must navigate complex reconciliation processes or force amendments on House leadership, rather than allowing bureaucratic inertia to undermine the very foundation of American…Open
The accelerating fusion of neo-Marxist progressives and radical Islamists within American politics poses an existential threat to the republic. The post Policy Brief: Assessing the Marxist-Islamist Alliance Aimed at America’s Heart appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .
Synopsis The accelerating fusion of neo-Marxist progressives and radical Islamists within American politics poses an existential threat to the republic. This fusion, colloquially referred to as the Red-Green Alliance, draws on two seemingly conflicting ideologies—Marxism and Islamism—bound together by a common mission to destroy the American constitutional system, capitalism, and the Western Christian tradition. A closer evaluation of the Red-Green Alliance reveals that while it remains one of political convenience, the ideological foundations draw on overlapping master frames that tie shared Marxist and Islamist conceptions of anti-imperialism, anti-Zionism, resistance, and Islamophobia together into a single shared narrative.1 As…Open
To protect American children, the federal government should adopt an age-verification scheme for adult websites, and states should enact age-verification requirements for social media. The post Primer: Age-Verification for Children’s Online Safety appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .
Introduction In the digital age, vice is more accessible than ever. Smartphones have made pornography free, portable, and instantly available. Unsupervised internet use is widespread, and this development is particularly dangerous for America’s youth. The failure to restrict access to obscene adult content has left minors unprotected, opening the door to addiction and sexual depravity. Recognizing this crisis, many states have instituted age-verification requirements for adult websites and social media platforms. Although the Supreme Court upheld Texas’s age-verification system in Free Speech Coalition, Inc. v. Paxton, state legislation continues to face legal challenges. Even so, the long-term effects of these measures are promising.…Open
The Chagos deal between the United Kingdom and Mauritius raises wider questions about sovereignty, international law, great-power competition, and the ability of democratic states to maintain strategic assets in an increasingly contested world. The post Primer: The Chagos Archipelago Is Key to Resisting China’s Encroachments in the Indian Ocean appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .
The status of the Chagos Archipelago, a small group of islands in the Indian Ocean, has recently become a newly relevant question of national security and defense strategy for both the United States and the United Kingdom. After Keir Starmer’s resignation as prime minister,1 his successor Andy Burnham has signaled a willingness to proceed with the plan of ceding the Chagos Archipelago in the British Indian Ocean Territory to the Republic of Mauritius.2 This would severely damage American power and influence in the Indian Ocean. The Chagos Islands were a part of the British Mauritius Crown Colony until a few years before Mauritius gained independence in 1968. Britain separated Chagos from Mauritius to maintain a strategically…Open
AI:The United Kingdom's decision to cede sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago to Mauritius represents a catastrophic surrender of strategic assets in a high-stakes battle for global dominance. While leftist media outlets prioritize performative geopolitical posturing and administrative hand-wringing, they ignore the cold, hard reality: this move creates a massive security vacuum in the Indian Ocean. By vacating these critical islands, democratic powers are effectively rolling out the red carpet for China’s encroachment, allowing an adversarial regime to expand its influence under the guise of decolonization. This isn't just diplomacy; it is a dereliction of duty that undermines international law and compromises long-term national…Open
The two sides do not share a positive vision of ordered liberty, constitutional government, religious freedom, or human flourishing. They cooperate because they share enemies: specifically, Christians, Western political systems, capitalism, and the entire notion of God-given rights. The post Policy Brief: How Anti-American Radicalism, Political Islam, and the Ruling-Class Academy Converged Against Western Order appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .
Summary A dangerous political pattern continues to emerge, often described as the Red-Green Alliance. This alliance brings together segments of the radical left and organized political Islam wherever their agendas intersect, above all in hostility toward the United States, Israel, national sovereignty, and the moral foundations of Western civilization.1 It is “red” because it draws on Marxist, socialist, anti‑capitalist, and postcolonial revolutionary currents and “green” because it draws on Islamist religious tradition and imagery, including the Quranic picture of believers in paradise clothed in green. 2 On the green side, Islam is treated not as a private creed but as a comprehensive political, legal, and civilizational order…Open
The Obama and Biden administrations’ anti–human trafficking framework treated trafficking not as a criminal enterprise to be destroyed but as a social equity problem to be managed through expensive victim services, non-government organization (NGO) partnerships, and “undeserved community” messaging. The post Primer: The Obama and Biden Administrations’ Hijacking of Human Trafficking Directives with DEI Ideology appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .
Synopsis The Obama and Biden administrations’ anti–human trafficking framework treated trafficking not as a criminal enterprise to be destroyed but as a social equity problem to be managed through expensive victim services, non-government organization (NGO) partnerships, and “undeserved community” messaging. President Joe Biden made the implicit Obama-era trajectory more explicit: His White House described trafficking as disproportionately affecting “vulnerable and underserved” populations, tied the plan to “gender and racial equity,” and linked trafficking to “marginalized groups.” These initiatives gave taxpayer money to independent and apolitical groups pushing radical ideology under the guise of being…Open
AI:The Obama and Biden administrations have fundamentally subverted anti-human trafficking directives, shifting the focus from dismantling criminal syndicates to managing social equity through bloated NGO partnerships and DEI-driven victim services. Rather than targeting traffickers with law enforcement precision, these radical leftist frameworks prioritize "undeserved community" messaging, effectively weaponizing a humanitarian crisis to fund bureaucratic expansions and globalist agendas. The mainstream media's refusal to acknowledge this ideological hijacking allows the real criminals to operate while taxpayer dollars are funneled into social engineering programs designed to satisfy progressive identity politics.Open
The term Red-Green Alliance refers to the growing left-wing political coalition of neo-Marxist progressives and anti-Western Islamists. Despite the inherent contradictions between these two ideologies (with progressives championing feminism and LGBTQ+ causes while Islam forbids homosexuality and restricts women), a de facto coalition has emerged. Both groups are united in their commitment to tear down the traditional American way of life. The post Introduction to the Red-Green Alliance Against Western Civilization appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .
Citizenship means more than residence in a particular place. It is the recognition of a land, culture, and history as one’s own. It involves the adoption and defense of a common way of life. Citizens may disagree about the best path forward for their nation, but all are united in their commitment to protect it. The unwritten contract of citizenship is verbalized when public officers swear to uphold the Constitution and when schoolchildren say the pledge of allegiance. Adherents to ideologies that attack the foundational pillars of our society—freedom of speech, freedom of religion, Christian morality—cannot sincerely swear allegiance to the United States of America. Such is the case with Marxist-Islamism. The term Red-Green Alliance…Open
The launch of the Campus Safety Tracker is designed to give citizens insight into the policies and political dynamics in the counties where these universities are located. Knowing the relative vulnerability of students to violent crime and illegal immigrant–driven chaos is an underappreciated but important data point when assessing whether a particular school is a good fit. The post Primer: Introducing the Campus Safety Tracker appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .
Synopsis The value of higher education in America has never been more questionable. Student loan debt currently exceeds $1.83 trillion, and many graduates who are fortunate enough to enter the workplace with a dubious degree are ill-equipped to contribute.1 A recent report suggested that a substantial number of college students cannot do basic math,2 and the number of graduates struggling to find employment is rising.3 This is largely because universities are no longer in the business of education and civic preparation but have been wholly captured by progressive ideology. The doubtful value of many college degrees and the intentional radicalization of students on many campuses are among the major factors leading Americans to question…Open

As student loan debt spirals toward $1.83 trillion and higher education produces graduates incapable of basic mathematics or practical employment, this tool provides essential insight into whether campuses have become high-risk environments for students.Open
