Trump challenges citizenship of children of illegals

In a bold push to secure America’s borders and preserve the integrity of citizenship, the Trump administration has petitioned the Supreme Court to greenlight an executive order ending automatic birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants and temporary visitors, framing the move as essential to countering decades of lax immigration policies that have strained national resources.

The administration’s appeal, filed last Friday and first reported by CNN, seeks to overturn rulings from four federal courts that struck down President Trump’s Day One executive order as unconstitutional. Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued that these decisions reflect a “mistaken” interpretation of the 14th Amendment, wrongly extending citizenship to those not fully subject to U.S. jurisdiction. “Those decisions confer, without lawful justification, the privilege of American citizenship on hundreds of thousands of unqualified people,” Mr. Sauer told the justices in the undocketed appeals from New Hampshire and Washington state cases.

The illegals are using what are called "anchor babies" to get to stay in the US. Trump wants to end this ruse.  The Supreme Court should overrule the lower courts' defense of anchor babies.
