SCOTUS weighs birthright citizenship

The case marks a historic collision between executive authority and long-standing constitutional precedent.

Lawyers for the administration argued that the amendment was never intended to grant citizenship to the children of undocumented immigrants.

However, several justices cited historical precedents, including cases involving Asian Americans in the 19th century, that appear to contradict the president's position.

A ruling against the order could significantly impact millions of families and set a major limit on presidential power over immigration policy.
