Trump Says Supreme Court Birthright Citizenship Ruling Could Reshape America

Trump Says Supreme Court Birthright Citizenship Ruling Could Reshape America Donald Trump says one Supreme Court ruling could change the future of American citizenship. The fight centers on birthright citizenship — the long-standing rule tied to the 14th Amendment that grants citizenship to most people born in the United States. Trump argues that the amendment was created after the Civil War to protect the children of formerly enslaved people, and that today’s interpretation has gone far beyond what its authors intended. In his view, the system is now being used in ways that hurt the country economically and politically. They argue that the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment protects birthright citizenship and that Trump’s executive order is unconstitutional. A federal appeals court previously blocked Trump’s order, saying it misread the 14th Amendment’s citizenship guarantee. The Supreme Court is now weighing Trump’s attempt to restrict automatic citizenship for children born in the US to parents who are not citizens or lawful permanent residents. #Trump #DonaldTrump #BirthrightCitizenship #SupremeCourt #SCOTUS #14thAmendment #Immigration #Citizenship #USCitizenship #TrumpImmigration #USPolitics #PoliticalNews #Constitution
