From CBS News: The Supreme Court on Wednesday appeared skeptical of President Trump’s bid to end birthright citizenship, hearing arguments in a high-stakes case that tests one of the pillars of the president’s immigration agenda.
A majority of justices seemed open to rejecting Mr. Trump’s executive order, with several conservatives peppering the attorney arguing for the administration with questions about the legal underpinnings and practical applications of the directive.
Mr. Trump attended the arguments for roughly 90 minutes, the first time a sitting president has done so. He was accompanied by White House counsel David Warrington. Attorney General Pam Bondi also attended.
Following the session, Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social: “We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship!”

Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued the case on behalf of the Trump administration, while Cecilia Wang, the legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union, argued on behalf of those challenging President Trump’s executive order.
The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the issue by late June or early July.
Reportedly, Trump stayed for the entire session as the arguments were made in favor of banning birthright citizenship. He left the Supreme Court a few minutes after the ACLU lawyer started arguing to keep the existing police in place.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller also weighed in, warning, “Birthright citizenship means the children of illegal aliens can vote to tax your children and seize their inheritance.”

Miller also wrote: “Congress has passed numerous laws criminalizing, prohibiting, forbidding and barring the entry of unauthorized and inadmissible foreigners. To say that this same class of excluded foreigners — whose very presence here is a crime — when Congress mandated a physical wall to keep them out — have a legal right to birth American Citizens is the gravest and most preposterous of all constitutional abominations.”

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Justice Sam Alito just sounded the alarm that unlimited birthright citizenship means a Chinese, Iranian or Russian foreigner can have a child in America, and that US citizen owes MILITARY ALLEGIANCE to a foreign adversary

DEI Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson made BY FAR the STUPIDEST argument against ending birthright citizenship
“If I steal a wallet in Japan, 1 am subject to Japanese laws….. in a sense, it’s allegiance.”
This idiot HAS to be removed from the court.

Conservative podcaster Clay Travis voiced concerns that the case is doomed, and slammed Congress for not taking action.
3. This decision — now with the stamp of Supreme Court authority — will actually make the issue of by soil citizenship even worse because it will encourage even more people to come here illegally.

5. Most will blame the Supreme Court, but this is congress’s fault. Our modern leadership is so incapable of solving current problems in the country that we have to debate what people dead for 150 years thought about an issue people alive today are too cowardly to solve.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) said he has already introduced legislation that would end birthright citizenship.
Birthright citizenship is a policy that confers citizenship to the children of illegal aliens who give birth on U.S. soil.
It’s terrible policy that incentivizes illegal immigration and has created an entire industry known as “birth tourism.”
— Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) April 1, 2026
We need to end this policy using whatever vehicle we can, whether that be a constitutional amendment, legislation, executive order, or the courts.
I’ve introduced legislation in the Senate to do exactly that.
— Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) April 1, 2026
That amicus brief was filed in the case before the Supreme Court today, and I hope the Supreme Court will affirm that American citizenship is reserved for those who abide by and uphold our laws.
6/6
