Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship on constitutional grounds.

In a sharp rebuke to President Trump, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the Constitution guarantees automatic birthright citizenship to virtually all children born in the United States.

"Citizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights — to freely participate in our political community.

The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to 'every free-born person in this land,'" Roberts wrote.

Trump has long maintained that the Constitution does not guarantee birthright citizenship.

The decision in the Wong Kim Ark case was so widely accepted that even in periods of great hostility to immigrants, the notion of birthright citizenship remained untouchable.

The ACLU's Cecillia Wang, herself a birthright citizen born to Chinese parents, argued the birthright case in April before the Supreme Court. »
