SCOTUS is actually debating whether being born here makes you American
Just when you thought the news cycle couldn't get more retro, we are now arguing about the 14th Amendment like it’s 1868 all over again.
The Trump administration has officially brought the fight to the Supreme Court, aiming to dismantle birthright citizenship. Yes, the basic rule that if you scream your first breath on U.S. soil, you get a passport.
But this isn't just one random policy tantrum. While everyone is staring at the birthright drama, the White House has been quietly rebuilding the entire immigration system. They are targeting everything from visa backlogs to legal residency. The goal is simple: make getting into, or staying in, America as difficult and bureaucratic as humanly possible.
It turns out you don't even need a giant wall when you can just drown people in a sea of red tape and policy tweaks.
Changing a century of constitutional law is certainly one way to handle the backlog at passport control.
