US President Donald Trump criticised the US Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling upholding birthright citizenship, calling it too bad for the United States and urging Congress to end the practice through legislation. The court struck down Trump's executive order, reaffirming that children born in the US to undocumented immigrants are citizens under the Fourteenth Amendment.
US President Donald Trump on June 30 (IST) reacted to the US Supreme Court's decision upholding birthright citizenship, calling the ruling "too bad for the United States" and urging Congress to pass legislation to end the practice.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that although the Supreme Court had upheld birthright citizenship, Congress could still address the issue through legislation backed by the President.
"The Supreme Court upheld Birthright Citizenship, which is too bad for our Country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through Legislation, with the support of the President, that has now been determined during this process," Trump wrote.
Rejecting the need for a constitutional amendment, Trump argued that lawmakers should move swiftly to change the law.
