Stephen Miller is demanding that the Supreme Court issue a unanimous ruling overturning birthright citizenship. Anything less, he said, would mean a nonfunctioning democracy.
Miller, an architect of the Trump administration’s immigration agenda, was characteristically melodramatic Thursday in a Fox News interview celebrating the high court’s immigration-related rulings that morning. But Miller also seemed fixated on the remaining cases being decided, including whether the administration can deny automatic citizenship to immigrants’ children who were born in the U.S., which the 14th Amendment has guaranteed since 1868.
“Anybody who has read even 30 seconds of American history understands that the Reconstruction amendments after the Civil War were to ensure that the children of slaves would be franchised in the United States. The author of the 14th Amendment was clear in saying it did not apply to aliens,” Miller, 40, argued.
