WASHINGTON — One of President Trump’s most ambitious policy endeavors — his effort to end birthright citizenship — is set to face its moment of truth before the Supreme Court on Wednesday, just over a month after it axed the centerpiece of his tariff agenda.
The Supreme Court will decide whether Trump’s attempt to block the kin of illegal immigrants born on US soil from automatically becoming citizens is within his power, something that is widely seen as the most consequential case left on its docket.
“This is a glaring red line for the Supreme Court justices that they don’t get to give away citizenship. They don’t have that power,” Mike Davis, a staunch Trump ally and founder of judicial advocacy group Article III Project, told The Post. “We the people never agreed to give this away.”
“These justices need to follow the law or they’re going to lose their legitimacy,” he added. “There’s no more important of a case before the Supreme Court.”
Before the high court is a question of the legality of Trump’s executive order to end so-called birthright citizenship that he signed during his very first day back in office last year.
Trump had toyed with the idea of tackling birthright citizenship during his first administration, but ultimately, that never came to fruition. At the time, even many conservative legal scholars were deeply skeptical that he could end birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants with the swipe of a pen.
“It really used to be more of a fringe view that language could be reinterpreted in this way,” Ming Hsu Chen, a law professor and director of the Race, Immigration, Citizenship, and Equality Program, University of California-San Francisco, said.
“I’m a little surprised that the Supreme Court would take up this case on the merits...

It all comes down to what was meant by “and under the jurisdiction thereof” in the 14th Amendment.
I’ve read before that Trump’s peeps presented an exhaustive analysis of usage of that term before and during the time that the 14th Amendment was ratified, and it is very clear that it did NOT apply to visitors to the country but to people legally domiciled here.
I hope SCOTUS does the right thing.
Should be “and SUBJECT to the jurisdiction thereof”.
Well put, Ll.
Short decision, let the chips fall where they may.
If the decision is to have any length, let it be the part where SCOTUS finally stops “evading” the pressing need for it to define the constitutional term Natural Born Citizen.
Anyone who has been part of that invasion is not allowed birthright citezenxhip regardless of how the Supreme Court rues.
On any number of crucial issues, Trump is like a dog with a bone. It’s great to see.
It will be good to make this settled law.
I agree with Trump on this one. No other country in the world does this. We shouldn’t be alone here.
“It all comes down to what was meant by “and under the jurisdiction thereof” in the 14th Amendment.”
There is no question as to what that means, it is just a question as to whether or not the Court will pretend to not know what it means.
The problem is granting the right to live in the US to the child and his extended family.
A solution. The child born in the USA whose are alien has the right to citizen ship but only after that child turns 18, and is considered an adult, and that child may applies for citizenship. Until that time, that child is not considered a citizen of the US and has no legal right to be here. Nor, are his parents or other members of his extended family granted a right to live in the US even after the child is granted US citizenship.
The Great Replacement has been the plan by the elites for decades. I really don’t see the Supreme Court going against their masters and getting rid of birth right citizenship.
Maybe if the people realize that the competency crisis is a real thing
We won’t be able to vote or sue our way out of this mess.
America has all the foreign illegal alien ANCHOR BABIES THAT IT NEEDS. The American “Village” TAXPAYERS can’t continue raising illegal alien freeloading socialists for their failed home countries.
Excellent point. Maybe this will be one of those times that SCOTUS looks at other nations' laws for guidance, something us conservatives have rightly fussed about in the past.
Birthright “citizenship” is commie psychobabble for ANCHOR BABIES.
I would submit it to more simple terms
A pregnant burglar breaks into your home, whether you knew or didn’t doesn’t matter. During this trespassing the burglar gives birth. Would you argue that both the burglar and the baby are now either tenants, or have earned a position in your estate.
I would argue that it’s impossible for a criminal to be a victim while in the commission of a crime.
It obviously does not include people visiting here. The amendment was for the slaves here already. And as many have noted, being under the jurisdiction is very important. It just boils down to if the SCOTUS will read the wording correctly and the history of it and the original purpose or bow down to the national socialists agenda sweeping the US?
The “Drop a loaf on American soil and you’re are in” Amendment.
How about “Go Home”?
Yup. The Left, in and outside of these United States, has been using this as a "gaming of the system."
Dearbornistan needs to be bombed.
