In a recent post on Truth Social, Trump called America a “stupid country” for allowing children born on U.S. soil to automatically become citizens, even if their parents are undocumented, on temporary visas, or merely visiting.

He argued that the 14th Amendment—ratified after the Civil War—was intended to protect the rights of formerly enslaved individuals and should not be applied to modern immigration cases.

Throughout his presidency, Trump prioritized strict immigration reform, including mass deportations and controversial programs that sent migrants to foreign detention centers. His efforts to challenge birthright citizenship included proposing an executive order to limit the policy, though federal courts quickly blocked it.

Now, Trump is urging the Supreme Court to revisit the issue, claiming that the current interpretation is outdated and being abused. He argued that foreign families are exploiting the system by entering the country to give birth, thus securing citizenship for their children.

According to Trump, such practices benefit drug cartels and other criminal networks, and make the U.S. vulnerable under the guise of political correctness.

He emphasized that the framers of the 14th Amendment never anticipated this level of immigration and called for a modern reevaluation. With the Supreme Court expected to weigh in on presidential authority over constitutional rights, Trump’s statement has reignited heated national debate.
