“Mr. Trump left the court during the Opposing party’s arguments and later posted on social media: 'We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow Birthright’ Citizenship! Many other countries allow the same.”

“The amendment states: 'All persons born or naturalised in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

“There is an exception to people born in the U.S. to a foreign diplomatic officer, since they have diplomatic immunity and are not under the jurisdiction of the U.S.A.”

“How did Donald Trump change the birthright citizenship law? Mr. Trump, on January 20, 2025, passed an executive order that directed federal agencies to refuse to recognise the citizenship of the U.S.-born individuals who do not at least have one parent who is an American citizen or lawful permanent resident.”

“Critics and opponents of the executive order by Mr. Trump say that it violates the Constitution’s 14th Amendment and overrides Congress’s power while violating administrative and immigration law.”

“They argue that the order will upend the American practice of proving citizenship by producing a birth certificate, with the focus on the place of birth and not the immigration status of the parents.”

“There were an estimated 11 million immigrants in the U.S. illegally in January 2022, according to a U.S. Department of Homeland Security estimate, a figure that some analysts now place at 13 to 14 million.”
