Trump Pushes to End Birthright Citizenship Despite Supreme Court Ruling

President Trump is reportedly moving to restrict birthright citizenship, a right granted to those born in the United States, despite a Supreme Court ruling against such measures. The administration argues that individuals entering the U.S. solely to give birth are committing visa fraud, a practice they label "birth tourism."

“

We had a bad decision, a very unfair decision. Our country is suffering because of it, and we are ending [birthright citizenship] another way.

This latest action comes after Trump's previous attempt to end birthright citizenship was struck down by the Supreme Court in a five-to-four decision. Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the ruling, calling it "a bad decision, a very unfair decision," and stated that the country was suffering as a result. He vowed to find "another way" to end the practice.

The people are making a business out of it.

Trump has signed two presidential decrees aimed at nullifying the court's judgment. His legal advisors apparently believe they have identified loopholes related to historical exceptions and presidential powers concerning border security. One decree reportedly seeks to exclude children born to "foreign enemies of the United States" from birthright citizenship, according to Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. This includes individuals deemed "members of foreign terrorist organizations."

Members of foreign terrorist organizations should also be excluded.
