Why Miller thinks Trump’s new birthright orders can survive court scrutiny
Stephen Miller thinks President Donald Trump’s second bid to curb birthright citizenship can survive where the first failed, he said Thursday from the Oval Office alongside the president at an executive order signing.
TL;DR
- Stephen Miller believes President Trump's second effort to curb birthright citizenship can succeed where the first failed.
- The new executive orders do not broadly deny citizenship to children of illegal immigrants or temporary visitors.
- They target categories that the administration considers within narrow historical exceptions to birthright citizenship.
- Miller described the orders as an attempt to use the Supreme Court's ruling in *Trump v. Barbara* to refine the definition of birthright citizenship eligibility.
