The Bogus Case Against Birthright Citizenship for the Children of Undocumented Immigrants

“As Inauguration Day approaches, President-elect Donald Trump’s promise of mass deportation at an unprecedented scale and the infighting within his own movement over H-1B visas have understandably taken center stage. But it’s also worth focusing on what is perhaps his most brazenly unconstitutional proposal of all: ending birthright citizenship, the legal principle that confers automatic citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. … if the president-elect believes he will be able to unilaterally undo this policy by executive fiat, he is sorely mistaken: birthright citizenship is clearly established in the U.S. Constitution, which means a presidential order cannot abolish it.” (01/06/25)
