US President Donald Trump calls on the Supreme Court to approve amendment, which abolishes citizenship in children born in the US by parents of irregular migrants or visitors with short -term visas.

In a request to the Supreme Court on Friday, Attorney General John Sauer asked the judges to hear the arguments in favor of abolishing citizenship at the beginning of next year, which will probably lead to a decision by June.

If the Supreme Court consents to this timetable, Trump’s request will substantially integrate his campaign, months before the Congress’s intermediate elections, which will be decisive for him to continue implementing his agenda.

A decision in favor of the president would be an important victory for his agenda for immigration, while a defeat would allow him to accuse the judges of blocking one of his key priorities.

Trump signed an executive decree against citizenship for children born of irregular immigrants to the US on the first day of his return to power in January, but has never been applied, after being disputed by four federal lawsmies. Previous of the Supreme Court.

“The fourteenth amendment’s nationality clause was adopted to grant citizenship to liberated slaves and their children, not to children of illegal immigrants and to tourists born on temporary visits to the US.”Sauer wrote.

However, all the judges of the regional courts who have examined the matter in recent months have rejected this position, often in harsh terms. They pointed out the broad legal consensus that almost all those born in the US acquire citizenship automatically at birth.

Most US Courts of Appeal considering the issue have not yet ruled. The Supreme Court usually expects multiple decisions and often examines an issue only when the decisions of the appeal conflict.

One of the lawsuits that the government calls on judges to be heard was filed in Seattle by the states of Washington, Arizona, Illinois and Oregon.

Sauer’s request urge the court to deal with the issue ‘At this time’, notes the Politico.

Judges are due to meet on Monday, at a long -term meeting, where applications will be examined during their summer vacations. However, the government’s request to the court to consider the possibility of reviving citizenship policy will not be on the official agenda of judges for more than a month, as, according to US law, those who challenge a political action have the right to express their views.
