The US Supreme Court has agreed to weigh in on the constitutionality of Donald Trump‘s controversial efforts to end birthright citizenship.
The conservative-dominated court made the decision on Friday. It has not set a date for oral arguments in the case, but it is likely to be early next year. A decision would then be expected by the summer.
On the president’s first day back in the White House for his second term, he signed an executive order called ‘Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship.’
The order declared that children born on US soil to illegal immigrants and those on temporary visas would not automatically become citizens.
There is no reasonable interpretation of ‘birthright citizenship’ which includes anchor babies born of illegals or wealthy anchor-baby tourists who travel to USA to gain citizenship for their offspring. ABN
