"According to the constitution of the United States all children born in the United States are citizens thereof regardless of the nationality of their parents, and as such are entitled to the rights and privileges of American citizens."
"Children born in the United States are citizens by right, no matter of what nationality their parents were."
"The largely unexplored history of popular discourse on this topic is especially-if perhaps surprisingly-relevant."
"Newspaper archives reveal that the Trump administration is not challenging some 'woke' legal interpretation, but a settled consensus that has been reinforced across American law and culture."
The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees citizenship to all children born in the United States, irrespective of their parents' nationality. This principle has been consistently reinforced in American law and culture, as evidenced by historical inquiries to newspapers regarding citizenship status. The Buffalo News, for instance, confirmed this in responses to readers in 1926 and 1894. The ongoing legal discussions surrounding birthright citizenship, particularly in the case Trump v. Barbara, highlight the importance of understanding this established consensus.
