     Trump Can End Universal Birthright Citizenship. The Constitution Never Required It.

  •  President-elect Donald Trump has once again promised to “end birthright citizenship” for the U.S.-born children of illegal and nonimmigrant aliens.
  • But can he do this without amending the Constitution?
  • Yes, he can—at least according to the original meaning of the 14th Amendment’s citizenship clause,
  • It’s certainly true that today, the mistaken majority view of the 14th Amendment’s citizenship clause is that it grants what essentially amounts to universal birthright citizenship—in other words, that virtually all children born within the geographical boundaries of the United States are citizens, irrespective of their parents’ immigration status.
  • It’s also true that the federal government has been abiding by a policy of treating the U.S.-born children of illegal and nonimmigrant aliens as citizens, even though it is not required and is a change from the way the 14th Amendment was applied after it was ratified in July 1868.
  •   nothing in the Citizenship Clause actually requires this practice. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.  Supporters of birthright citizenship ignore the second, critical condition in the amendment of being “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States.
  • While the citizenship clause eliminated race-based barriers to birthright citizenship, its framers and ratifiers manifestly intended that its language restrict birthright citizenship based on the strength of a person’s relationship to the United States and the lack of a relationship with another nation.
  • For many decades after the amendment’s ratification, that was precisely how the nation’s courts and constitutional scholars also understood the citizenship clause to work.
  • The government today doesn’t need to amend the Constitution to restrict citizenship for the U.S.-born children of illegal or nonimmigrant aliens. It can just simply stop abiding by a broad policy of universal birthright citizenship that the Constitution never required in the first place.
