"By the numbers: Two-thirds of Americans - including majorities of independents and many Republicans - support preserving the 14th Amendment's guarantee of citizenship to those born in the U.S., the survey found. Roughly 8 in 10 Black Protestants favor keeping birthright citizenship, and solid majorities of Hispanic Catholics and Hispanic Protestants support it as well. Even among Trump's most supportive religious constituency - white evangelical Protestants - 53% say the Constitution's guarantee should stand."
"What they're saying: "Most Americans, including many conservatives and religious Americans, see birthright citizenship as a core constitutional promise," PRRI CEO Melissa Deckman told Axios. "Ending it is simply not something the public wants." State of play: The Trump administration has sent ICE agents to Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte, New Orleans and Minneapolis. As in other cities, some U.S. citizens have been swept up by federal agents, sparking angry protests."
Two-thirds of Americans support preserving the 14th Amendment's guarantee of citizenship to those born in the United States. Strong support exists among Black Protestants, Hispanic Catholics, Hispanic Protestants, and a slim majority of white evangelical Protestants. Large portions of independents and many Republicans back birthright citizenship. The Trump administration has deployed ICE agents to multiple cities, and some U.S. citizens have been detained, prompting protests. Only 3 in 10 Americans back Trump's overall immigration agenda, and approval of his immigration handling has fallen to 43%. White evangelical Protestants remain highly supportive of Trump's immigration enforcement stance.
