'Govt undermined by Supreme Court': Chip Roy issues stark warning over Birthright Citizenship ruling
The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship, ruling 6-3 that the 14th Amendment continues to guarantee citizenship to most people born in the United States. Following the decision, U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, sharply criticised the ruling, arguing the court failed to properly interpret the Constitution's Citizenship Clause. In a statement, Roy said the decision "failed the American people, the Constitution, and the rule of law," contending the 14th Amendment was never intended to grant citizenship based solely on birth in the United States to children of people who are in the country illegally or temporarily.
