The order aimed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/yes-republicans-can-legally-rein-in-birthright-citizenship\/\" title=\"Yes, Republicans Can Legally Rein In Birthright Citizenship\">restrict birthright citizenship<\/a> to children born in the U.S. to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >individuals legally present<\/a> in the country. Chief Justice John Roberts led the majority opinion, with several justices supporting the decision, while others dissented. The case centered on whether the 14th Amendment,which grants citizenship to all born in the U.S., allows for exceptions for children of illegal immigrants. Trump\u2019s administration argued that the amendment was not intended to apply to such cases, citing historical context and modern concerns about &#8220;birth tourism.&#8221; Trump publicly expressed confidence that the court would rule against his position but ultimately faced multiple defeats. The court&#8217;s ruling emphasized the longstanding interpretation that birthright citizenship applies regardless of parental immigration status.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down an executive order from President Donald Trump that directed federal agencies to only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-predicts-supreme-court-will-find-a-way-to-come-to-the-wrong-conclusion-on-birthright-citizenship\/\" title=\"Trump Predicts ... &#039;Will Find a Way to Come to the Wrong Conclusion&#039; on Birthright Citizenship\">recognize babies born<\/a> to people in the country legally as American citizens.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chief Justice John Roberts penned the opinion, with Ketanji Brown Jackson, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Amy Coney Barrett joining him in the majority.<\/p>\n<p>Brett Kavanaugh partially concurred with the majority opinion, but disagreed that Trump\u2019s order violated the 14th Amendment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch dissented.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On his first day in office, Trump issued an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2025\/01\/protecting-the-meaning-and-value-of-american-citizenship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">executive order<\/a> banning birthright citizenship, which would have the effect of ensuring that the children of illegal immigrants who are born in the United States are not automatically granted American citizenship.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trump, who attended the oral arguments in the case when it went before the court, has campaigned hard for his position.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe United States of America cannot live with the shackles of Birthright Citizenship. It is not economically, or otherwise, sustainable, and no other Country in the World, of consequence, does it!\u201d Trump posted earlier this month on <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116732049110199246\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The order suffered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/end-trump-moves-end-birthright-citizenship-good-scotus-agrees-hear-case\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">multiple court defeats<\/a> on its path to the Supreme Court, but Trump has continued to appeal the rulings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fears that the ruling would not go Trump\u2019s way sparked after, during oral arguments on the case, Chief Justice John Roberts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/audio-chief-justice-john-roberts-appears-set-throw-wrench-trumps-birthright-citizenship-case\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pushed back<\/a> against Solicitor General John Sauer, who made the president\u2019s argument.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specifically, Roberts sounded skeptical that the Fourteenth Amendment, on which birthright citizenship rests, excludes children of illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBased on Chinese media reports,\u201d Sauer said in a clip posted on X, \u201cthere are 500 \u2014 500 \u2014 birth-tourism companies in the People\u2019s Republic of China, whose business is to bring people here to give birth and return to that nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHaving said all that,\u201d Roberts replied, \u201cyou do agree that that has no impact on the legal analysis before us?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sauer did not agree. Instead, he respectfully cited the late Justice Antonin Scalia in arguing that 19th-century Americans did not foresee such things. In other words, the people who wrote the Fourteenth Amendment did not intend it for the children of illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWell, it certainly wasn\u2019t a problem in the 19th century,\u201d Roberts responded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNo,\u201d Sauer replied, \u201cbut of course, we\u2019re in a new world now, as Justice [Samuel] Alito pointed out, where eight billion people are one plane ride away from having a child who\u2019s a U.S. citizen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWell, it\u2019s a new world,\u201d Roberts conceded, \u201c[but] it\u2019s the same Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In February, Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-predicts-supreme-court-will-find-way-come-wrong-conclusion-birthright-citizenship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">predicted<\/a> he would not win the case.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c[T]his supreme court will find a way to come to the wrong conclusion,\u201d Trump declared in a social media post.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another February <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116119857222583140\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> post<\/a> excoriating the court noted, \u201cThe next thing you know they will rule in favor of China and others, who are making an absolute fortune on Birthright Citizenship, by saying the 14th Amendment was NOT written to take care of the \u201cbabies of slaves,\u201d which it was as proven by the EXACT TIMING of its construction, filing, and ratification, which perfectly coincided with the END OF THE CIVIL WAR.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHow much better can you do than that? But this supreme court will find a way to come to the wrong conclusion, one that again will make China, and various other Nations, happy and rich.
