Today, the U.S. Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in a landmark immigration case that could redefine the future of birthright citizenship in America. The case centers around President Donald J. Trump’s executive order—signed just hours after taking office—ending automatic citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants on U.S. soil.
This long-controversial policy, often described as enabling “anchor baby” loopholes, has been blocked by lower courts, prompting the White House to request the Supreme Court to lift nationwide injunctions and allow the order to take effect immediately.
Trump Sounds Off: “The Drug Cartels Love It!”
Ahead of the hearing, President Trump issued a scathing statement on Truth Social, asserting that birthright citizenship was never meant to cover illegal immigration:
“The drug cartels love it! Birthright Citizenship was not meant for people taking vacations to become permanent Citizens of the United States of America, and bringing their families with them.”
He emphasized the original intent of the 14th Amendment, which was ratified after the Civil War:
“It had to do with Civil War results, and the babies of slaves who our politicians felt, correctly, needed protection… It had nothing to do with Illegal Immigration for people wanting to SCAM our Country, from all parts of the World.”
Trump Calls Out “Political Correctness” and Judicial Abuse
Trump didn’t hold back in criticizing the nation’s immigration system and what he views as activist judicial overreach:
“We are, for the sake of being politically correct, a STUPID Country… This is yet another point that leads to the dysfunction of America.”
He added that no other country on Earth practices birthright citizenship to the same reckless degree:
“The United States of America is the only Country in the World that does this, for what reason, nobody knows.”
The Legal and Constitutional Battle Ahead
Trump’s executive order attempts to challenge the longstanding interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which courts have broadly read to mean that anyone born on U.S. soil is automatically a citizen, regardless of their parents’ status.
The case before the Supreme Court may finally define the constitutional limits of the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof”, and whether it applies to foreign nationals and illegal immigrants.
Why It Matters
-
Immigration reform has been a top issue for Trump since 2015.
-
Ending birthright citizenship could deter illegal immigration and reduce incentives for “birth tourism.”
-
The ruling could reshape immigration law, voter rolls, and social services for decades to come.
Final Word from Trump
“Please explain this to the Supreme Court of the United States. Again, remember, the Civil War ended in 1865, and the Bill goes to Congress in 1866 — We didn’t have people pouring into our Country… What we had were the BABIES OF SLAVES.”
This case may determine whether the 14th Amendment continues to serve its original purpose—or becomes a tool of exploitation by global opportunists.
God Bless the U.S.A.
