Tag: BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP

Justice Barrett is catching a lot of flak for her role in the election ballot decision. I’ve seen stories suggesting that she did this because she hates Trump, an assumption stemming from the faces she’s made around him. I don’t think this line of thinking is honest. In her opinion, Barrett doesn’t rely on ideology or pragmatism. She is honestly wrestling with the word’s original meaning and how it would have been understood at the time of the law’s passage.

Following the bench's verdict, elected officials from across the country, including Alabama, weighed in on the decision.

It seems clear, however, that the framers of the 14th Amendment did not intend to confer citizenship on everyone who is born in the United States even if that person’s parents were not citizens, were not here legally, or did not intend to reside here permanently.

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall is backing President Donald Trump’s move to ban birthright citizenship for those born in the U.S. to illegal immigrants or temporary visitors.

On Friday, U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) touted the U.S. Supreme Court's 6-3 decision to limit judges’ ability to block President Donald Trump's birthright citizenship order, which declared that the children of parents who enter the United States illegally or on a temporary visa are not entitled to automatic citizenship.

U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) announced on Monday he was co-sponsoring the recently introduced Birthright Citizenship Act. 

U.S. Rep. Dale Strong (R-Monrovia) recently joined other Republican lawmakers in pushing a bill ending unilateral birthright citizenship in the country, which has been used to grant citizenship to hundreds of thousands of children born to illegal aliens.
