🎯IMPACT: The Supreme Court’s upcoming decision on birthright citizenship could reshape immigration law and affect millions of individuals.
President Donald J. Trump warned on Monday that a Supreme Court ruling against his Executive Order restricting birthright citizenship would only benefit China. The comments, made on Monday in a post on Truth Social, follow the high court’s decision to strike down Trump’s authorization of tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
“The supreme court (will be using lower case letters for a while based on a complete lack of respect!) of the United States accidentally and unwittingly gave me, as President of the United States, far more powers and strength than I had prior to their ridiculous, dumb, and very internationally divisive ruling,” President Trump wrote, continuing, “For one thing, I can use Licenses to do absolutely ‘terrible’ things to foreign countries, especially those countries that have been RIPPING US OFF for many decades, but incomprehensibly, according to the ruling, can’t charge them a License fee – BUT ALL LICENSES CHARGE FEES, why can’t the United States do so?”
“Our incompetent supreme court did a great job for the wrong people, and for that they should be ashamed of themselves (but not the Great Three!),” the President continued, adding, “The next thing you know they will rule in favor of China and others, who are making an absolute fortune on Birthright Citizenship, by saying the 14th Amendment was NOT written to take care of the ‘babies of slaves,’ which it was as proven by the EXACT TIMING of its construction, filing, and ratification, which perfectly coincided with the END OF THE CIVIL WAR.”
The Supreme Court is expected to take up arguments on the order in the coming months. An adverse ruling could cement the right for the children of illegal immigrants, born on U.S. soil, to become citizens. Oral arguments are expected in April, with a final ruling from the high court likely in June. Meanwhile, The National Pulse reported in December last year that United States consular officers will now deny tourist visa applications to any foreign national suspected of seeking to travel to the country to give birth so that their child will receive U.S. citizenship and serve as an immigration anchor for additional family members.
