Summary
The Supreme Court is poised to rule on whether President Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship stands — a move challenging the 14th Amendment’s century-old precedent set in the 1898 Wong Kim Ark decision. Trump argues that children born to undocumented or visiting parents aren’t “subject to the jurisdiction” of the U.S., but federal judges have blocked the order, and conservative justices on the Court have questioned its legality. Trump has called birthright citizenship a “scam” that benefits enemies and costs taxpayers — though he’s wrong: dozens of countries, including Canada and Mexico, also grant citizenship to babies born on their soil. The decision could redefine who belongs in America.
