Birthright Citizenship vs. 'We the People'

The Supreme Court has finally weighed in on birthright citizenship, and to the frustration of conservatives across the nation, they got it wrong. Simply saying that today is enough to invite endless ridicule from those who insist the Constitution plainly and unambiguously grants citizenship to anyone born on American soil.

Yet the same people who demand a strictly literal reading of the 14th Amendment rarely apply that standard consistently to the rest of the Constitution.

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)
