United States President Donald Trump has suggested that the
14th Amendment right to American citizenship never had anything to do with
modern-day “gate-crashers”.
Trump insisted that it had everything to do with granting
citizenship to former slaves.
The President stated this in a post on Truth Social,
claiming that the US founding fathers are “spinning in their graves” at the
idea that the country could be taken away from its people.
He wrote: “The 14th Amendment Right to American Citizenship
never had anything to do with modern-day ‘gate-crashers,’ illegal immigrants
who break the law by being in our country. It had everything to do with
granting citizenship to former slaves. Our Founding Fathers are ‘spinning in
their graves’ at the idea that our country can be taken away from us. No nation
in the world has anything like this. Our lawyers and judges have to be tough
and protect America!”
Recall that after his inauguration last month, Trump signed
an executive order ending birthright citizenship in the country.
The order would end birthright citizenship for the children
of parents who are in the US illegally.
However, a federal judge, Leo Sorokin, in Boston on Thursday
blocked the executive order.
The ruling came three days after US District Judge Joseph
Laplante in New Hampshire also blocked the order and follows similar rulings in
Seattle and Maryland.
