Will citizenship rights change for children born in America? The Supreme Court takes up the issue
2025-12-06 10:32:55 / BOTA
The United States Supreme Court has decided to consider an important constitutional issue: whether children born on American soil to parents who are illegally present or on temporary visas have a constitutional right to American citizenship.
The case concerns an executive order signed by President Donald Trump that seeks to end birthright citizenship for these categories of children. The order was blocked by federal courts, which ruled it violated the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.
The Supreme Court has not yet set a date for the hearings, while the decision is expected in a few months.
For nearly 160 years, the 14th Amendment has guaranteed that every person born in the US is an American citizen, with the exception of the children of diplomats and foreign forces personnel.
The Trump administration argues that the phrase “subject to U.S. jurisdiction” excludes children of temporary or illegal immigrants.
According to the Pew Research Center, in 2016, about 250,000 babies were born in the US to parents without US citizenship. By 2022, the number of US citizens born to undocumented parents will reach 1.2 million.
A study by the Migration Policy Institute warns that repealing birthright citizenship could increase the unauthorized population in the US by 2.7 million by 2045 and 5.4 million by 2075.
