President Donald Trump sat in for a little over an hour as U.S. Supreme Court justices deliberated regarding Trump v. Barbara, a legal case against Executive Order 14160 issued on January 20, 2025. The plaintiff’s case serves as an attempt to stop the president’s endeavor to halt the practice of granting citizenship to “anchor babies” born in the United States to illegal alien parents.
Supporters of Birthright Citizenship claim the modern interpretation is guaranteed by the Citizenship Clause in the Fourteenth Amendment. The President’s order was blocked by lower courts in an attempt by the progressive left to defend the mainstream definition of Birthright Citizenship, which simply means from their point of view that if someone is born on American Soil they are automatically a citizen of this country. Now that the case is before the U.S. Supreme Court, it will provide an opportunity for the High Court justices to answer a number of questions regarding if a President can take such an action with an executive order, or does it require Congress to pass a new law; and what the true definition of the words “subject to the jurisdiction” from the Fourteenth Amendment is.
Automatic citizenship is not something that largely exists elsewhere in the world under other governments, but here in America it operates as a powerful incentive for illegal migration into this country. The Democrats put out a perception that they are the party that is for the poor (even though their policies ultimately hurt the very groups they claim to stand for) and they know that the “poor and huddled masses” that come to America (especially through dubious means like birth tourism) will likely ultimately vote for them. The whole Birthright Citizenship thing for the Democrats is not about being fair or kind as much as it is about preserving their power through the voting booth and apportionment as it applies to the number of representatives given to a state based on population.
