President Trump made a rare appearance in the White House Press Briefing Room on Friday to address the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on his executive order banning birthright citizenship and universal injunctions issued by federal courts.
“Thanks to this decision, we can now promptly file to proceed with these numerous policies and those that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis, including birthright citizenship, ending sanctuary city funding, suspending refugee resettlement,” the President said.
“Hundreds of thousands of people are pouring into our country under birthright citizenship, and it wasn’t meant for that reason. It was meant for the babies of slaves.”
While SCOTUS did not rule explicitly on the issue of birthright citizenship for children born to foreign nationals on U.S. soil, the court’s opinion curbed federal judges’ abilities to impede the Trump agenda, which is a projection of the will of the majority of American voters.
“We’ve seen a handful of radical left judges effectively try to overrule the rightful powers of the President to stop the American people from getting the policies they voted for in record numbers. It was a grave threat to democracy, frankly,” Trump stated. “We’ve been hit with more nationwide injunctions than were issued in the entire 20th century.”
“This is a decision that covers a tremendous amount of territory. I want to just thank the Supreme Court for this ruling. It’s a giant.”
Trump warned cartels and other foreign terrorist organizations have been using birthright citizenship to “get very bad people in.”
“This is just another way they get illegal immigrants into our country.”
The administration immediately moved forward with plans to strip ‘temporary protected status’ from more than 500,000 Haitians living in the U.S. and is now urging them to either obtain lawful status, leave immediately, or face deportation.
