⚖ The Constitutional Angle
Under Trump v. Barbara, children born in the United States to parents who are lawfully but only temporarily present are citizens at birth under the Citizenship Clause. The Court reaffirmed Wong Kim Ark, which held the same for children of non-citizen parents permanently domiciled here. Birth tourism therefore produces citizens the executive cannot strip of that status.
United States v. Wong Kim Ark 169 U.S. 649 (1898)
Vote: 6-2 (Justice McKenna took no part) · Opinion: Justice Horace Gray
A child born in the United States to parents of Chinese descent who, at the time of his birth, were subjects of the Emperor of China but had a permanent domicile and residence in the United States, were carrying on business here, and were not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity of the Chinese government, becomes at birth a citizen of the United States under the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Trump v. Barbara 609 U.S. ___ (2026) (slip opinion; U.S. Reports page not yet assigned)
Vote: 6-3 on invalidity of EO 14160; 5-4 on the Fourteenth Amendment ground · Opinion: Chief Justice John Roberts
Children born in the United States to parents who are unlawfully present or lawfully but temporarily present are born 'subject to the jurisdiction' of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Citizenship Clause. Executive Order 14160 is invalid. Roberts's opinion treated 'jurisdiction' as satisfied by amenability to U.S. law, reaffirmed Wong Kim Ark as declaratory of the common-law rule inherited from Calvin's Case, and grounded the Clause in the repudiation of Dred Scott.
