Roll Call: Steve Yale-Loehr Warns of Impact in Birthright Citizenship Case

In Supreme Court to Hear Oral Arguments on Future of Birthright Citizenship, Steve said that upholding President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship would represent a “diminution of congressional power” because Congress is supposed to have authority over changes to immigration and citizenship. He also said, “If Trump’s executive order is upheld, this would be the largest expansion of federal red tape in decades, because hospitals and state records agencies would have to become surrogate immigration agents to determine whether the parents of a newborn child have proper immigration or citizenship status.”
