The One Institution Trump Can’t Control
"Birthright citizenship is a no-brainer. Why do you get to come here illegally, have a baby, and the baby's a citizen? That doesn't seem right. Seems wrong. But it's in the US Constitution as spelled out in the 14th Amendment and elsewhere."
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to uphold birthright citizenship in Trump v. Barbara, despite political opposition from the Trump administration. Cuomo acknowledges the political argument against birthright citizenship is compelling, but maintains the Constitution is clear and can only be changed through amendment, not executive order.
