ICYMI: Sen. Banks Joins the Big Weekend Show on Fox News ChannelMonday, July 27, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator Jim Banks (R-Ind.) joined the Big Weekend Show on Fox News Channel to discuss Middle East diplomacy, the importance of passing the SAVE America Act , the debate over birthright citizenship, and his introduction of the Citizenship Act of 2026 . Click the image above for the full discussion. Key Excerpts on Middle East Diplomacy: Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.): “If President Trump can expand on the Abraham Accords from the first Trump term, by normalizing relations with Israel and Saudi Arabia, the Middle East will be as strong and as peaceful as it has ever been as we continue to maintain that Iran will never have a Nuclear weapon. So I give President Trump a lot of credit here in what he’s done to foster and grow peace agreements.” Key Excerpts on the SAVE America Act : “This is the fifth time the House has passed the SAVE America Act ; I am frustrated too. The Senate should abandon the so-called traditions and the filibuster rules; nuke the filibuster. Do whatever it takes to pass the SAVE America Act . I think the NDAA and the upcoming reconciliation package that the House is going to send over to the Senate are the best opportunities we have to pass the SAVE America Act requiring voter ID.” “The democrats don’t want to support our military, and they don’t want voter ID. Let’s put every Republican on the record in support of it, pass it, save this country and head into the midterms with the best hand that we have to keep the majorities in the House and the Senate. I fear what will happen if we don’t pass the SAVE America Act on election day in the midterm elections.” “I’ve heard from people everywhere I go, from the diner this morning to the grocery store, pass the SAVE America Act . We have to get it done; it is so fundamental to the future of this country to make sure that America. By the way, the biggest story this week was the Democrat Governor in New Jersey admitting that 6,600 illegals voted in the last two elections in New Jersey. If that can happen there and even a democrat is admitting it, it is the biggest reason and example of why we have to pass the SAVE America Act . ” Key Excerpt s on Birthright Citizenship: “The Supreme Court struck down the president’s executive order, but what all nine Supreme Court justices agree on is that the babies of invaders into our country are not eligible for birthright citizenship. We don’t need a constitutional amendment; we can pass a simple bill in Congress that declares an invasion at the border. We have declared pirates, nazi spies in the past as invaders into our country, yet the number of illegals, the tens of millions of illegals, that have come into our country is so much greater and such a bigger threat to the future of our country than either of those types of invaders.” “So declare an invasion and then declare that the babies of those invaders are not eligible for birthright citizenship. That’s my bill; Brandon Gill introduced it in the House. It’s simple; it’s got a substantial amount of support, and it would ban birthright citizenship for illegals, I think truly an existential threat to the United States of America.” ###
