American citizenship is the HIGHEST standard we have in the world and should not be granted automatically to anyone born on U.S. soil. The 14th Amendment was never meant to create that broad rule, and citizenship must reflect real legal jurisdiction and belonging.
The phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” was never meant to grant automatic citizenship to everyone born in the U.S., especially not people here illegally or just temporarily. It is a completely flawed interpretation of the 14th Amendment.

🚨BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP: Justice Thomas wrote in his dissent, a warning: I am not sure that today’s opinion will stand the test of time. The Citizenship Clause added greatly to the dignity and glory of American citizenship. Today’s opinion devalues that citizenship.”
This take is spot on.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court – led by Chief Justice Roberts – failed the American people, the Constitution, and the rule of law today – not to mention endangering the national security of the United Statres. The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in no way stands for the
The Supreme Court got this wrong and we should not accept this outcome as the final word. The fight must begins TODAY to change this.

If the Court refuses to let the executive act alone, Congress has an Article I path forward to end birthright citizenship abuse.
