Trump birthright citizenship fight heads back to Supreme Court as new term begins
FOX News5 days
Trump's birthright citizenship order is blatantly unconstitutional and has been unanimously rejected by every single judge who reviewed it across multiple courts. The order violates the clear meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment, denying citizenship to children just like freed slaves after the Civil War.
SCOTUS already settled birthright citizenship more than a century ago, in the case of Wong Kim Ark, establishing that citizenship applies only to children whose parents have lawful permission to reside in America. Trump's order substantially complies with this 127-year-old precedent that excludes children of illegal aliens from automatic citizenship.
