US President Donald Trump said birthright citizenship was created for the babies of slaves, not for “rich” foreigners seeking US citizenship for their families. He spoke to Politico after the US Supreme Court agreed to review his order that ends citizenship for children born to undocumented immigrants and short-term visitors. Trump said it would be “devastating” if his administration loses the case. He argued that the rule was written after the Civil War and was never meant for people “dropping into the country” to gain citizenship. The Supreme Court is expected to give its ruling next summer.
