US President Donald Trump said that he will ask the Supreme Court to reconsider the issue related to birthright citizenship, after its decision, which he described as “crazy,” to reject his efforts to restrict this long-standing constitutional text.
After the court last month rejected Trump’s attempt to impose restrictions on birthright citizenship in the United States, the Republican president wrote on his “Truth Social” platform yesterday, Wednesday, saying, “The Supreme Court’s ruling is wrong. I will request a reconsideration from the US Supreme Court, immediately,” adding, “This judicial failure will destroy America if they do not reverse their crazy decision.”
This type of request or petition is supposed to be submitted within 25 days of the court’s decision, and is very rarely accepted.
On June 30, the US Supreme Court rejected Trump’s attempt to limit birthright citizenship in the United States.
The Supreme Court ruled to cancel Trump’s executive order prohibiting granting birthright citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants and some temporary foreign visitors, confirming the established principle guaranteed by the US Constitution that almost all children born on American soil are citizens.
This decision constituted a strong blow to a policy that Trump has long pursued to prevent children born to parents who are “illegal immigrants” or temporary foreign residents from automatically acquiring American citizenship.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., in the majority opinion, explained that President Trump’s executive order violates the 14th Amendment.
It was also considered that children born in the United States to illegal immigrant parents or parents temporarily residing in the country are citizens at birth.
It is noteworthy that Trump had previously signed, on the first day of his second term, an executive order depriving children born to parents residing in the United States illegally or holding temporary visas from automatically obtaining American citizenship. However, lower courts halted the implementation of this decision, citing the Constitution.
