Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship | Texas News

The Supreme Court just delivered a landmark ruling affirming birthright citizenship — kids born on U.S. soil are citizens, regardless of their parents’ status. In a 6-3 decision, the Court reaffirmed the 14th Amendment’s century-old meaning, rejecting a controversial executive order that tried to undo this bedrock principle. While Texas Republicans blasted it as a missed chance to curb what they call legal exploitation, Democrats hailed it as a constitutional victory. The majority, led by Chief Justice Roberts and joined by liberal justices and Amy Coney Barrett, grounded their decision in history and the amendment’s intent. The dissent, led by Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch, saw it as a dangerous misstep. Bottom line: birthright citizenship stands — and no president can erase it with an order.
