May 15 (UPI) -- The Trump administration will begin arguments Thursday before the Supreme Court to challenge the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees that anyone born in the United States is granted citizenship.
The first sentence of the Amendment states, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
President Donald Trump posted to his Truth Social account Thursday morning, calling for restricted access to birthright citizenship.
"Birthright citizenship was not meant for people taking vacations to become permanent citizens of the United States of America, and bringing their families with them," Trump wrote.
