Today, the Supreme Court decided it will take up the challenge to Trump's birthright citizenship order.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court will decide whether President Trump's birthright citizenship order violates the Constitution. https://t.co/wKA2w8aOrc

Basically, many believe the 14th Amendment declares anyone born on American soil is automatically a citizen no matter the status of their parents. Initially, this amendment protected the children of freed slaves. Now, it's being taken advantage of by illegals.
The Supreme Court has the chance to decide whether the 14th amendment — enacted after the Civil War to overrule the Dred Scott case — requires the automatic granting of citizenship to the children of illegal aliens who are born on US soil.

Governor Ron DeSantis disagrees.
This case is a challenge to the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause, which states that all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States, language that was included after the Civil War to ensure that…

The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) agreed on Friday to decide the constitutionality of President Donald Trump's executive order that seeks to end birthright citizenship, which would deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. to parents who are in the country illegally or on a temporary basis. This case is a challenge to the Constitution's 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause, which states that all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States, language that was included after the Civil War to ensure that Black former slaves and their children were recognized as citizens. The Trump administration argues that the phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" means citizenship is granted only to children whose primary allegiance is to the United States, including citizens and permanent residents. Challengers point to a 1898 SCOTUS case, United States v. Wong Kim Ark, as precedent.
This will determine if the Supreme Court will affirm the 1898 precedent setting case. This will be major.
I hope SCOTUS finally sides with the Trump administration on this one. No other developed country in the world hands out citizenship like this just for being born on their soil while the parents are here illegally or temporarily.

It’s been exploited as a loophole for decades,…
If our country ended birthright citizenship, it would take care of an extraordinary amount of law breaking. The incentive would be removed.
If SCOTUS overturns birthright citizenship for illegal aliens, it will make Trump the greatest president in living memory.

In other words, just because you happen to give birth in America doesn't grant your new baby the right to American citizenship. That just makes sense.
The 14th Amendment was meant for former slaves and their descendants, not for illegal aliens to smuggle themselves across our borders and get fast-tracked to citizenship.

It’s been abused for decades and it’s time to set the record straight. https://t.co/YwqrAHsGIc
If Trump gets this overturned, it will go down as the single greatest accomplishment of any President of my lifetime https://t.co/Bh2Xr0UeAq

If Trump were to achieve these goals while also overturning the legal right to abortion, he would undoubtedly be remembered as the president who preserved America's unity amid intense efforts by progressive forces to divide and destabilize the nation.
