President Trump Attends Supreme Court Hearing on Ending Birth Right Citizenship

If birth right citizenship gets overturned it would probably be the singularly most important way to greatly reduce illegal immigration into the U.S. This is because it would end a major incentive illegal immigrants have to come to America to include Koreans looking to have their kids avoid mandatory military service with American citizenship:

With President Donald Trump attending, the Supreme Court on Wednesday heard arguments over the legality of his directive to restrict birthright citizenship in the U.S., a contentious part of his efforts to curb immigration that would upend long-held understanding of a key constitutional provision.

Some of the justices including conservative Chief Justice John Roberts asked tough questions of the Justice Department lawyer defending Trump’s action.

The justices were hearing the Trump administration’s appeal of a lower court’s decision that blocked his executive order directing U.S. agencies not to recognize the citizenship of children born in the United States if neither parent is an American citizen or legal permanent resident, also called a “green card” holder.
