President Trump Attends Supreme Court Argument on Birthright Citizenship
WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump declared birthright citizenship ‘stupid’ after the Supreme Court wrapped up arguments in the case. More on this from Reporter Bernie Bennett.
VERBATIM: President Trump, who wants to see the practice eliminated, repeated his opposition to it in a social media post.
He posted from the White House, “We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow “Birthright” Citizenship!”
During the arguments, the justices cast doubt on Mr. Trump’s bid to limit birthright citizenship.
While the concept is relatively are rare around the world, about three dozen countries guarantee citizenship to children born on their territory.
