ANCHOR BABIES APPROVED BY PRO-INVADER SUPREME COURT
The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship was unconstitutional.
Trump attended the high court's oral arguments about the case, Trump v. Barbara, on April 1, marking the first time the president of the United States had ever done so. Prior to the justices' 6-3 ruling striking down Trump's birthright citizenship order, some signaled during April's oral arguments that they were skeptical about whether Trump had the power to end birthright citizenship through an executive order.
"If Congress intended to limit American citizenship to the children of those domiciled in the United States, nothing in the succinct language of the Citizenship Clause conveyed that design," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion joined by four other justices. Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred in the result, but dissented on the reasoning.
Associate Justice Samuel Alito delivered a blistering dissent that highlighted national security risks posed by the ruling.
"Suppose that a person's only connection to this country is that he was born here to a mother who was present just long enough to give birth and then quickly returned to her native country. Suppose that country is a strategic adversary or enemy of the United States. Suppose the child never visited the United States while growing up and was inculcated with hatred of this country," Alito wrote. "According to the Court, that person is a citizen of the United States. He can enter and leave the country as he pleases. He can travel the world on a United States passport. Even if he plots to harm this country, he cannot be deprived of his status as a citizen, at least under current precedent."
