Most Americans Support Birthright Citizenship

Wait 5 sec.

“The Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down President Trump’s executive order limiting birthright citizenship, reaffirming the constitutional guarantees that nearly all children born on U.S. soil are citizens,” the New York Times reports.“The ruling puts the court in line with the views of a majority of Americans, with 55 percent saying they oppose ending birthright citizenship in a Reuters/Ipsos poll taken last week.”“That support is largely driven by Democrats, 72 percent of whom oppose ending birthright citizenship. They are joined by more than half of political independents, and a sizable 38 percent of Republicans who want to protect the right.”
