“Most of your brief is not about illegal aliens. Most of your brief is about people who are just temporarily in the country. You mentioned in your briefing and also this morning the problem of birth tourism. Do you have any information about how common that is? It’s a great question.”
“No one knows for sure. How does this work? Are you suggesting that when a baby is born, people have to have documents?”
That was just some of the Supreme Court hearing today in Trump versus Barbara, as the courts weigh the 14th Amendment and whether or not to end birthright citizenship.
Justices seemed a bit skeptical during more than two hours of oral argument and repeatedly challenged the government’s core argument that only children born to parents domiciled, meaning permanently residing in the U.S., should automatically become citizens.
The court is expected to rule by late June.
