Donald Trump calls the US a ‘stupid country’ in scathing remark on controversial citizenship case
Donald Trump recently made strong and controversial comments about birthright citizenship in the United States. He argued that the law, which gives automatic citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, was originally created after the Civil War to protect children born to enslaved people. He now believes the law is being misused and wants the Supreme Court to put an end to it.
In one of his online posts, Trump said the U.S. is the only country that allows people to come here on vacation or temporary visas, have a baby, and automatically get citizenship for that child.
He feels this is unfair and that people from other countries are taking advantage of the system. According to him, people are laughing at America and using it for personal gain, and he even called the U.S. a “stupid country” for allowing this to happen.
Since becoming president, Trump has pushed hard to change immigration policies. He has deported many undocumented migrants, some without trials, and has even offered free flights and cash incentives to encourage others to leave. Now, he’s targeting birthright citizenship and says only children born to permanent residents should qualify.
This idea has caused serious debate. Three federal judges in different states have blocked Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship. But he is now pressuring the Supreme Court to overrule those decisions. He insists that the 14th Amendment, which guarantees birthright citizenship, was never intended to apply to today’s immigration issues.
He points out that when the law was created in 1866, right after the Civil War, there wasn’t mass immigration like we see today. It was meant to protect the rights of formerly enslaved people and their children, not people coming from around the world to gain U.S. citizenship by having a baby here.
Trump’s administration argues that these court rulings are getting in the way of his ability to enforce immigration laws and fulfill his political promises. The Department of Justice even claimed that the judges are attacking Trump’s presidency by stopping his executive orders from taking effect nationwide.
As the Supreme Court prepares to hear the case, it’s clear that this issue could have a big impact on how U.S. citizenship is granted in the future.
