His pseudonymous September 2016 editorial " The Flight 93 Election " compared the prospect of conservatives letting Hillary Clinton win with passengers not charging the cockpit of the United Airlines aircraft hijacked by Al-Qaeda . In the essay , Anton criticized conservatives who were skeptical of Trump . Anton also decried the " ceaseless importation of Third World foreigners , " and called for " no more importing poverty , crime , and alien cultures . " In Anton 's 2019 book '' After the Flight 93 Election : The Vote that Saved America and What We Still Have to Lose '' , Anton argued that Trump constituted " the first serious national-political defense of the Constitution in a generation . " Trump praised the book . According to Carlos Lozada , book critic for '' The Washington Post '' , Anton 's book primarily reprints text from his 2016 editorial , but with a newly added rumination of how dangerous the American left is . Lozada wrote , " Anton spends virtually no time detailing or defending particular policies of the Trump administration ; all that matters is the enemy . For Anton , Hillary Clinton is no longer the chief nemesis — the entire left is , along with sellout conservatives and any other forces countering the president . They contribute to a ' spiritual sickness ' and ' existential despair ' pervading not just the United States but all the West ... Apparently , Flight 93 did not end with the 2016 vote ; we are forever on the plane , endlessly in danger , no matter who has seized the controls . " Anton is also known as a critic of birthright citizenship in the United States , arguing that the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution does not mandate '' jus soli '' ( " right of the soil " ) citizenship , and that the Amendment 's use of the provision " subject to the jurisdiction thereof " excludes children born of illegal aliens
