Simply put, the Supreme Court’s recent ruling striking down President Donald Trump’s birthright citizenship ban was both legally and historically wrong, as well as a misguided interpretation of the 14th Amendment.

Since Trump’s inauguration, he has issued a slew of executive orders but none more controversial than banning the birthright citizenship of illegal immigrants. In essence, the president has argued that those born to illegal immigrants are not “citizens” of the United States, according to the 14th Amendment.
