Birthright citizenship reaches the Supreme Court. What’s at stake?

The United States Supreme Court will hear the arguments this week in an extraordinary case and possibly seismic in its consequences.

The fourteenth amendment says that any person born in the United States is automatically a citizen in this country – has been settled since the nineteenth century. President Donald Trump is seeking to put a stars on this amendment as part of the crackdown on immigration. But before that, the Trump administration asks the judges to solve an unusual procedural question in Trump against Casa and a company.

In three lawsuits challenging the executive order of citizenship on January 20, the lower courts found it unconstitutional. I issued all three orders in the country that prevented him from accelerating. In what they described as a “modest” request, the Trump administration lawyers ask the Supreme Court to narrow the restraint orders of individuals and the participating countries in one common case now.

In fact, the judges are required to allow the order of citizenship generated to verify the effect in parts of the country but not others. The case can transform the authority of the judiciary, as stipulated in Article Three of the Constitution. More immediately, it also carries deep consequences for immigrants in the United States

This would re -explain the newly born citizenship because it applies to the “judicial state” individuals, and this administration is defined as excluding children born in the country illegally or temporarily. The judges will eventually be constitutional deciring. But this initial invasion also has the possibility of the consequences of the real world.

“Citizenship is one of those areas where we have not seen different rules in different places,” says Nicole Halit, director of the Immigrant Rights Clinic at the University of Chicago Law College.
