The US Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship in a 5-4 decision.Chief Justice Roberts wrote the majority opinion.“Children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause,” Roberts wrote.Roberts was joined by Amy Coney Barrett, Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson.In September, President Trump asked the US Supreme Court to end birthright citizenship.Several federal judges have blocked President Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order.According to President Trump’s order, the 14th Amendment is being misinterpreted by the left to give citizenship to ‘anchor babies.’“It is the policy of the United States that no department or agency of the United States government shall issue documents recognizing United States citizenship, or accept documents issued by State, local, or other governments or authorities purporting to recognize United States citizenship, to persons: (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States was lawful but temporary, and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth,” Trump’s order stated.Trump’s order argued the 14th Amendment has always excluded babies born to people in the US illegally.“[The] Fourteenth Amendment has never been interpreted to extend citizenship universally to everyone born within the United States. The Fourteenth Amendment has always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Consistent with this understanding, the Congress has further specified through legislation that “a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” is a national and citizen of the United States at birth, 8 U.S.C. 1401, generally mirroring the Fourteenth Amendment’s text,” the order stated.BREAKING… please check back for updates.The post BREAKING: Supreme Court Strikes Down President Trump’s Executive Order On Birthright Citizenship in 5-4 Decision – Roberts and Amy Coney Barret Side with Liberals appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
