POTUS lost his long-standing birthright citizenship battle against SCOTUS and our soil brothers, Americans born in the US.
The U.S. Supreme Court majority ruled 6–3 that the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution protects birthright citizenship, rejecting President Donald Trump's executive order that sought to deny citizenship to many children born in the United States to parents who were undocumented or in the country on temporary visas.
The Court's majority, led by John Roberts, concluded that the executive order conflicted with the Constitution's Citizenship Clause and reaffirmed the long-standing interpretation established in United States v. Wong Kim Ark.
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship, ruling that President Donald Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship violated the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision rejected a policy Trump had advocated for since his first presidential campaign over a decade ago.
The ruling means that a president cannot change the constitutional rule on birthright citizenship through an executive order; any change would require a constitutional amendment or a different constitutional interpretation by the Court.
Since 1868, over 300 million people have likely acquired U.S. citizenship through birthright. This estimate is based on the total number of births in the U.S. over that period, minus those who did not qualify due to narrow exceptions. Today, nearly four million babies are born in the U.S. each year, and the overwhelming majority automatically become U.S. citizens at birth.
Meanwhile, Democrats are organizing events nationwide this weekend to address Trump's losses and American's affordability. The events include school supply giveaways, food bank drives, and local rallies. Their goal is to engage and mobilize voters. Two years ago, Democrats were criticized for ignoring rising prices. Now they blame Republicans, who downplayed inflation. Events vary by region, with activities like activist training in New Mexico and door-knocking in Nevada. Democrats aim to show they are serious about tackling economic issues. Time will tell if the message reach voters in a fragmented media landscape.
