Children of people here illegally are not “automatically” made citizens at birth.

The 14th amendment made former slaves US Citizens.

It’s been wrongly and unconstitutionally used to make anyone born in the USA citizens.

Levin is a Constitutionl Scholor who should know that.

Trump has hinted at rescinding citizenship for all “anchor” babies.

Just Do it POTUS!

FWIW, Rogers v. Bellei is about children born out of the US, to a citizen parent or parents. Without a law making then citizens, they would not be citizens - that is what SCOTUS said in that case, and that particular finding (foreign-born not a citizen if there was no “born a citizen” statute) was unanimous across the justices. The dissent said it was unconstitutional to strip naturalized citizenship.
