Hours before the U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments regarding the right to birthright citizenship, which Donald Trump's administration is attempting to undermine, the president jumped on Truth Social to complain.
As NBC News reported, "The longstanding interpretation of the provision as understood by generations of Americans, including legal scholars on the left and right, is that anyone born on U.S. soil is an American citizen with a few minor exceptions, including people who are the children of diplomats. As part of Trump's hard-line immigration policy, he wants to limit birthright citizenship to people who have at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or is a permanent U.S. resident."
According to the president, the fact that the U.S. has granted citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. makes the country "stupid" and, oddly, plays into the hands of cartels.

On his Truth Social platform, he wrote, "Big case today in the United States Supreme Court. Birthright Citizenship was not meant for people taking vacations to become permanent Citizens of the United States of America, and bringing their families with them, all the time laughing at the 'SUCKERS' that we are! The United States of America is the only Country in the World that does this, for what reason, nobody knows — But the drug cartels love it! We are, for the sake of being politically correct, a STUPID Country but, in actuality, this is the exact opposite of being politically correct, and it is yet another point that leads to the dysfunction of America. Birthright Citizenship is about the babies of slaves."
He then offered, "As conclusive proof, the Civil War ended in 1865, the Bill went to Congress less than a year later, in 1866, and was passed shortly after that. It had nothing to do with Illegal Immigration for people wanting to SCAM our Country, from all parts of the World, which they have done for many years. It had to do with Civil War results, and the babies of slaves who our politicians felt, correctly, needed protection. Please explain this to the Supreme Court of the United States. Again, remember, the Civil War ended in 1865, and the Bill goes to Congress in 1866 — We didn’t have people pouring into our Country from all over South America, and the rest of the World. It wasn’t even a subject. What we had were the BABIES OF SLAVES. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Good luck with this very important case. GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.!"
Moments later, he followed that up with a second post, claiming, "Remember, it all started right after the Civil War ended, it had nothing to do with current day Immigration Policy!" which he had already mentioned.
