thebalanced.newsTrump Urges Supreme Court to Limit Birthright Citizenship Amid Pending Ruling
US President Donald Trump has intensified pressure on the Supreme Court regarding a case on birthright citizenship, calling a ruling against his position a 'disgrace.' He argues that birthright citizenship, which grants automatic citizenship to those born in the US, was originally intended for 'babies of slaves' and not for children of immigrants such as 'Chinese billionaires.' While Trump urges the court to support limiting this constitutional right, critics maintain it is clearly protected. The Supreme Court has yet to announce its decision amid ongoing debate.
