"The very creation of the 14th Amendment was meant to combat racism, and really implicitly people who are challenging that clause are really espousing a racist viewpoint, Wu said. It's very hard to get around that, no matter what sort of legal arguments you want to couch."
"Just because you have legal argument doesn't mean it's not racist."
"If you were to take his argument, for example, you could extrapolate that children of Confederate soldiers would not be citizens."
Shan Wu criticized the questioning of birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment as a racist viewpoint. He stated that the amendment was created to combat racism and that arguments against it are fundamentally flawed. President Trump has labeled birthright citizenship a scam, claiming it is exploited by wealthy foreigners. Wu countered that legal arguments against the amendment do not negate their racist implications. He responded to John Eastman's interpretation of the amendment, asserting that it is unsound and misrepresents historical understanding.
