US Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship

Washington DC. The US Supreme Court has ruled that children born in America have the constitutional right to citizenship. With this order from the court, President Donald Trump's attempt to end the 150-year-old policy on birthright citizenship has failed.

In this decision made by a 6-3 majority of the 9 judges of the Supreme Court, Chief Justice John Roberts clarified that children born to parents who are illegally or temporarily in America are also 'natural-born citizens' under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
