"America Is a Multiracial Democracy": Supreme Court Denies Trump's Bid to End Birthright Citizenship
“Citizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights — to freely participate in our political community. The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to 'every free-born person in this land.' We keep that promise today.” So concludes the decision of the Supreme Court in the landmark case Trump v. Barbara, affirming the constitutional right to birthright citizenship and rejecting President Trump’s attempt to end it. Trump’s executive order had aimed to prevent babies born to undocumented immigrants and temporary foreign residents from automatically becoming American citizens. We speak to Columbia University historian of immigration Mae Ngai about the case and the white nationalist logic behind Trump’s challenge.

Domicile Isn't a Real Argument For Citizenship Says Wydra
A divided US Supreme Court upheld the constitutional right of birthright citizenship, rejecting President Donald Trump’s planned restrictions and invalidating a central plank of his immigration agenda. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissented. National citizenship was not an independent concept but simply derivative of state citizenship. “Every citizen of a state,” it was often said, was “ipso facto a citizen of the United States.” In these contexts, too, national citizenship required domicile because state citizenship required domicile. Justice Thomas wrote. Elizabeth Wydra, President of the Constitutional Accountability Center joined Balance of Power to discuss. (Source: Bloomberg)
