US EditionTrump: US only country ‘stupid enough’ to allow birthright citizenship
Pew Research Center says 32 countries have similar laws, undercutting Trump’s claim that the United States is alone.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump became the first sitting president to attend a Supreme Court hearing on birthright citizenship. Shortly after storming out, he posted on Truth Social calling the U.S. the 'only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow "Birthright" Citizenship!'
- During the session, Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Justice Neil Gorsuch, both Trump appointees, expressed skepticism of the administration's arguments. Barrett warned removing birthright citizenship could be 'messy on some applications,' while Gorsuch questioned whether Native Americans born today would qualify.
- According to the Pew Research Center, 32 countries have birthright citizenship laws similar to the U.S. Constitution, with at least 50 others offering it in more limited form. Trump's claim that America is unique directly contradicts this data.
- CNN legal analyst Elliott Williams described the hearing as a 'blowout' favoring those blocking the executive order, suggesting a potential 8-1 decision. Williams noted that even conservative justices dismissed the administration's basic arguments regarding jurisdiction.
- The Supreme Court is expected to issue its ruling later this summer, likely in late June or early July. This decision will shape the immigration debate and increase political pressure on lawmakers weighing birthright citizenship policy.
