One of President Donald Trump's avenues of enforcing his bold immigration policies is ending birthright citizenship, which unsurprisingly drew mountains of backlash from the left.

According to NewsNationNow, the U.S. Supreme Court wants responses from various states and organizations that are challenging the executive order Trump signed to end birthright citizenship, who claim that the EO violates the 14th Amendment. 

Other states, like South Carolina, expressed support for Trump's EO, and Attorney General Alan Wilson said the left has misinterpreted the 14th Amendment as they fight the Trump administration on the issue.

AG Wilson disagreed with the argument that the 14th Amendment means "all persons born or naturalized in the United States."

What's his take?

Wilson pointed out the real problem that the left doesn't want to seem to admit -- that illegals will essentially sneak into America just to have a baby to give it automatic U.S. citizenship.

"That amendment was rightfully designed to bestow citizenship on emancipated slaves, which needed to happen, but it has been misinterpreted over the last 160 years to incentivize the ridiculous notion that somebody can come to the United States in the dead of night, drop a child like an anchor, like a boat drops an anchor, and all of a sudden, they have been bestowed citizenship for henceforth evermore." Wilson said.

He added, "That was not the intention of the framers of the 14th Amendment."

President Donald Trump and his administration appealed to the Supreme Court last week in an attempt to prevent lower courts from blocking his ability to end birthright citizenship.

Many, including AG Wilson, believe that the high court will ultimately decide in Trump's favor should the case go all the way.

Extreme resistance

No less than three federal judges have issued overlapping injunctions preventing Trump from ending birthright citizenship, causing a headache for the administration.

Yahoo News noted:

In a March 13 filing to the Supreme Court, the Trump administration said that in an ideal world, the existing injunctions would apply to only the individuals who sued the federal government in a personal capacity. But they are also open to the court blocking the order on a more limited scale. For example, limiting the injunctions to the states and organizations that have participated in the lawsuits alongside the individuals.

Brian Green, a Colorado-based immigration attorney, weighed in on their strategy.

"They’re giving the court five or six different ways to help them. But they are asking for the whole pie and they will settle for whatever they can get."
