<p>President Donald Trump panned the notion of birthright citizenship on Thursday ahead of arguments on the subject at the Supreme Court, saying that it&#8217;s bad for the United States and good for illegal aliens who want to gain a foothold in the country. &#8220;The drug cartels love it!&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Trump laid out his complaint in a lengthy post to his Truth Social platform, arguing that the practice was outdated and that in the 21st century, there was no place for a policy that automatically conferred citizenship to every baby born on American soil.</p>

<p>&#8220;Big case today in the United States Supreme Court,&#8221; Trump began. &#8220;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, all the time laughing at the &#8216;SUCKERS&#8217; that we are!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The United States of America is the only Country in the World that does this, for what reason, nobody knows — But the drug cartels love it!&#8221; he continued. &#8220;We are, for the sake of being politically correct, a STUPID Country but, in actuality, this is the exact opposite of being politically correct, and it is yet another point that leads to the dysfunction of America.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump went on to explain the roots of birthright citizenship as a policy, noting that it dated back to the end of the Civil War.</p>
<p>&#8220;Birthright Citizenship is about the babies of slaves,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;As conclusive proof, the Civil War ended in 1865, the Bill went to Congress less than a year later, in 1866, and was passed shortly after that. It had nothing to do with Illegal Immigration for people wanting to SCAM our Country, from all parts of the World, which they have done for many years. It had to do with Civil War results, and the babies of slaves who our politicians felt, correctly, needed protection.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Please explain this to the Supreme Court of the United States,&#8221; the president added. &#8220;Again, remember, the Civil War ended in 1865, and the Bill goes to Congress in 1866 — We didn’t have people pouring into our Country from all over South America, and the rest of the World. It wasn’t even a subject. What we had were the BABIES OF SLAVES. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Good luck with this very important case. GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.!&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump followed that a short time later with a second post, once again referencing the policy&#8217;s origin just after the Civil War ended: &#8220;Remember, it all started right after the Civil War ended, it had nothing to do with current day Immigration Policy!&#8221;</p>
<p>Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) echoed Trump&#8217;s thoughts in a post to X, saying, &#8220;Granting birthright citizenship to illegal aliens is unlawful and it has contributed to the highest levels of illegal immigration in history. President Trump is right to call to end this farce.&#8221;</p>
