Fox News: GREGG JARRETT: President Trump has a valid argument on birthright citizenship
President Trump faces lawsuits from multiple states over his executive order denying automatic citizenship to U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants. Critics argue the order violates the Constitution, while Trump contends that the 14th Amendment was not intended to apply to those who entered the country illegally.
The discussion centers on the phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof," which Trump interprets to exclude illegal aliens. Historical context and previous Supreme Court rulings suggest that the amendment was meant to grant citizenship primarily to formerly enslaved individuals, not to children of undocumented immigrants. The issue is now set for judicial review.
