‘No long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary!’

President Donald Trump reacted to Tuesday’s Supreme Court ruling striking down his executive order and ensuring all babies born in the United States are guaranteed American citizenship.

The commander in chief did not express panic, as he said on Truth Social: “The Supreme Court upheld Birthright Citizenship, which is too bad for our Country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through Legislation, with the support of the President, that has now been determined during this process.

“No long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary!

“Congress should start TODAY to work on ending expensive and unfair to our Country, Birthright Citizenship. They will have my Complete and Total Support!”

U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, told the Daily Signal the “Supreme Court failed the American people.”

“The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in no way stands for the proposition of creating a dangerous cottage industry of traveling to our soil to manufacture United States citizenship,” Roy continued. “The Supreme Court today should have said so explicitly and ended this damaging exploitation of our laws.”

Roy is now urging Congress to “immediately do at least two things it should have done long ago,” which include “defin[ing] the phrase ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof’ very specifically to make clear that citizenship is tied to the citizenship of the parent, not the soil,” and “completely restrict[ing] funding from DHS or any other agency or state that provides documentation and status to anyone not subject to the ‘jurisdiction thereof.'”

“In other words, Congress must act immediately and must not hide behind the fiction that it must amend the Constitution to fix this abuse of our laws,” Roy added. “To do otherwise would be an abject failure of the United States Congress.”
