Summary
President Donald Trump has made history at a Supreme Court hearing on Wednesday about his executive order to end birthright citizenship, reports say.On Wednesday morning, Fox News reported that Trump arrived at the Supreme Court and that Attorney General Pam Bondi was expected to join him. With this attendance, Trump has become the first sitting president to witness Supreme Court oral arguments.'One of the many Great Scams of our time!'Trump’s Executive Order 14160, signed on Inauguration Day, could impact roughly 225,000 individuals born each year. The executive action states that “citizenship does not automatically extend to persons born in the United States: (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States at the time of said person’s birth was lawful but temporary … and the father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth.”Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday that he plans to attend the Supreme Court hearing.“Because I have listened to this argument for so long,” Trump stated.He argued that birthright citizenship was not intended for “Chinese billionaires, or billionaires from other countries, who all of a sudden have 75 children … becoming American citizens.”RELATED: SCOTUS gives Trump a unanimous victory on persecution claims in asylum cases Al Drago/Getty Images“This was about slaves,” Trump continued, adding that birthright citizenship was implemented at the end of the Civil War. “The reason was, it had to do with the babies of slaves and the protection of the babies of slaves. It didn’t have to do with the protection of multimillionaires and billionaires wanting to have their children get an American citizenship,” he said. “It is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.”When asked about the Supreme Court justices, Trump responded, “I love a few of them. I don’t like some others.”RELATED: US Catholic bishops call on SCOTUS to shut down Trump birthright citizenship order and protect 'human dignity' Win McNamee/Getty ImagesIn a post on social media, Trump called birthright citizenship “one of the many Great Scams of our time!” Around 9:30 a.m. Eastern on Wednesday, Trump’s motorcade was spotted leaving the White House en route to the Supreme Court.Like Blaze News?
