Birthright Citizenship II: Trump’s Executive Order & The Supreme Court
We are pleased to invite you to join us on Wednesday, February 12th for the second part of our virtual briefings discussing President Trump's executive order on the issue of birthright citizenship. We will be joined by the Founding Director of Claremont’s Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, Dr. John Eastman, to discuss the forthcoming legal challenges to the President's executive order and whether the Supreme Court will review this precedent.
“Honest scholars will be forced to acknowledge that the Supreme Court has never held that the children of illegal immigrants, or even temporary lawful visitors, are constitutionally entitled to automatic citizenship merely by virtue of their birth in the United States. And they will be forced to acknowledge as true the claim in Trump’s executive order that ‘the Fourteenth Amendment has never been interpreted [in any formal, binding way] to extend citizenship universally to everyone born in the United States.’”
