Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship | Texas News

The Supreme Court just delivered a landmark ruling affirming birthright citizenship — anyone born on U.S. soil is automatically a citizen, regardless of their parents’ immigration status. The decision strikes down President Trump’s controversial executive order that sought to deny citizenship to children of undocumented immigrants or visitors, grounding its ruling firmly in the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause — a constitutional cornerstone dating back to Reconstruction. While the majority opinion upholds decades of legal precedent and reaffirms that citizenship is tied to place of birth, three conservative justices dissented, arguing the court overstepped its authority. The ruling, which affects hundreds of thousands of births annually, sends a clear message: constitutional rights rooted in American history aren’t easily overturned — and birthright citizenship remains sacrosanct under current law.
