An executive order signed after returning to the White House sought to void birthright citizenship for children born to parents in the U.S. illegally or on temporary visas. The Supreme Court is set to decide whether the order violates the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment. Trump previously criticized the Supreme Court in connection with a birthright citizenship case and framed a potential loss as a disgrace. During a press conference, Trump said the Supreme Court ruling is a big decision and compared it to a prior Supreme Court ruling on tariffs. He claimed the tariffs decision would require repayment of $149 billion and argued that changing the approach would not affect the money coming from tariffs. He also asserted the U.S. is the only country with birthright citizenship and said it was not intended for wealthy individuals to gain citizenship for their children.
"Upon his return to the White House for his second term, Trump signed an executive order that sought to void birthright citizenship for children born to parents who are either in the U.S. illegally or on temporary visas. In the coming weeks, the Supreme Court must determine whether this executive order is a violation of the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment. Many outlets anticipate a ruling against the Trump administration in this case, Trump v. Barbara."
"During a press conference on Thursday, a reporter asked Trump what was at stake with the ruling. It's a big decision that we're waiting for from the Supreme Court, Trump said as he took a detour to lament the Supreme Court's prior ruling that Trump's tariffs were illegal. We had a terrible tariff decision, they cost our country a fortune. They said do it a different way."
"All they had to do was put a little sentence in there, half a sentence, saying that any monies paid don't have to be paid back. You are talking about the people, in many cases, that hate our country. Give them back money, it was a terrible decision. And it's not going to affect, because we do the tariffs a different way. The tariffs are what's bringing in all of this money. It's really made our country rich, moderately rich."
"Now we have another one coming up, which is birthright citizenship, he said. And we're the only country in the world that has it. You step into our country, and you're all of a sudden a citizen. You come in a certain way, and this was not meant for Chinese billionaires to have their children become citizens of our country, this was meant or other rich people, poor"
