YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case tomorrow on the future of birthright citizenship.
The case stems from an executive order President Trump signed on Day 1 of his second term in office, aimed at immigrants who entered the country illegally. But experts say the case could have on all families — that without birthright citizenship, the family of every baby born in the U.S. would need to prove their citizenship, creating new bureaucratic hurdles to access health insurance, food, social support and more in the critical early days of life.
A Pew Research Center poll last year found that 9 in 10 Americans say they support automatic citizenship for those born to U.S. citizens, but when asked about those who are born to parents who immigrated illegally to the U.S., support plummets to half.
