Who gets to be an American? It\u2019s a simple question\u2014one that was answered when Congress passed, and the states ratified, the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution in 1868. \u201cAll persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside,\u201d the amendment\u2019s first sentence states. Thirty years later, in 1898, the Supreme Court cemented this principle in United States v. Wong Kim Ark<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But last January, on President Trump\u2019s first day in office, he signed an executive order that would challenge the Court\u2019s precedent\u2014and, it has been argued, the purpose of the amendment. \u201cThe Fourteenth Amendment has never been interpreted to extend citizenship universally to everyone born within the United States,\u201d the president\u2019s order says. It would deny citizenship to babies born to parents who lack legal justification for being in the country\u2014or born to those who are here only temporarily. The order was challenged in court within 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Now the Supreme Court will decide whether the Constitution means what it says; it will decide whether \u201call persons born or naturalized in the United States\u201d\u2014save for those who are here under unique circumstances, such as children of foreign dignitaries\u2014are citizens of the union. This week on Radio Atlantic<\/em>, I\u2019m joined by Atlantic <\/em>staff writer Adam Serwer to explore birthright citizenship and what it means to be an American.<\/p>\n

The following is a transcript of the episode:<\/em><\/p>\n

Adam Serwer: <\/strong>So you think about today\u2019s discourse about birthright citizenship and these, you know, sometimes veiled, sometimes overt assertions that America is a white man\u2019s country. You know, the people who wrote the Fourteenth Amendment did not believe that. They insisted that that was wrong, and they inscribed the equality of man into the Constitution in a much more sincere way than the original Founders.<\/p>\n

Adam Harris:<\/strong> I\u2019m Adam Harris. This is Radio Atlantic<\/em>. And this is our first Monday episode of the show.<\/p>\n

Today, we need to talk about birthright citizenship. The Supreme Court has before it a case that could redefine who gets to be an American. That\u2019s not hyperbole.<\/p>\n

Justice Neil Gorsuch: <\/strong>So you\u2019re really at the end of the day, then this is a straight up constitutional ruling you want from this Court, win, lose, or draw.<\/p>\n

Harris:<\/strong> The citizenship clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution is brief\u201428 words: \u201cAll persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and [of the State] wherein they reside.\u201d<\/p>\n

For more than 150 years since the amendment was ratified and adopted in July 1868, the clause has animated a basic idea: If you were born in the United States, then barring very rare circumstances, you are a United States citizen. On President Trump\u2019s first day in office in January 2025, he signed an executive order called \u201cProtecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship.\u201d<\/p>\n

The order would deny citizenship to babies whose parents did not have legal status in the U.S. or whose parents are only in the country temporarily. States sued immediately. \u201cThe 14th Amendment says what it means, and it means what it says\u2014if you are born on American soil, you are an American. Period. Full stop. There is no legitimate legal debate on this question,\u201d Connecticut Attorney General William Tong said at the time.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court, which only takes up about 1 percent of the thousands of petitions it receives each year, decided to hear the case anyway. They listened to oral arguments this April, and soon they\u2019ll decide whether the law is constitutional. Will the justices go against the precedent the Court set a century ago? And what does it say that the justices are even considering a challenge to birthright citizenship in the first place? With me to discuss all of this is my colleague Adam Serwer, who writes about the courts and politics at The Atlantic<\/em>. Let\u2019s get to questions.<\/p>\n

Harris: <\/strong>Adam, thanks so much for joining me.<\/p>\n

Adam Serwer: <\/strong>Thanks so much for having me.<\/p>\n

Harris: <\/strong>Can you set the scene for us? Where did this idea of birthright citizenship in America come from?<\/p>\n

Serwer:<\/strong> So birthright citizenship is a centuries-old principle in Anglo-American law, which is obviously from where the American system is designed. But the specific aim of the Fourteenth Amendment was to make real the promise of the Declaration of Independence \u201cthat all men are created equal.\u201d And you know, obviously, prior to the Civil War, Roger Taney and the Taney Court decide Dred Scott v. Sandford<\/em>, where they say that Black people can never be citizens of the United States, but this was a long-standing argument. You know, there were people like John Calhoun who said, obviously, in the Declaration of Independence \u201call men\u201d did not refer to Black men.<\/p>\n

When I was in middle school, I had a teacher who explained to me that the \u201call men\u201d in the Declaration of Independence meant all white men with property. And, you know, that is a very narrow interpretation, but in effect that\u2019s how it worked in the beginning.<\/p>\n

You know, the author of the Fourteenth Amendment, or one of the authors of the Fourteenth Amendment, John Bingham, he said, you know, the purpose of this is to get rid of the horrid blasphemy that America is a white man\u2019s country. So you think about today\u2019s discourse about birthright citizenship and these, you know, sometimes veiled, sometimes overt assertions that America is a white man\u2019s country. You know, the people who wrote the Fourteenth Amendment did not believe that. They insisted that that was wrong, and they inscribed the equality of man into the Constitution in a much more sincere way than the original Founders. But the purpose of birthright citizenship was to make America, as Frederick Douglass might have put it, right with itself. He used to say that all that is needed to fix America is for the country to get right with itself, to fulfill its own lofty ideals. And that was what the Fourteenth Amendment was meant to do.<\/p>\n

Harris: <\/strong>So when you think about those lofty ideals, when you consider that we\u2019ve sort of grown with this belief that America is a sort of melting pot, the idea of birthright citizenship is one of those things that really made it a melting pot, as opposed to just the ideal of a melting pot.<\/p>\n

Serwer: <\/strong>Yeah, I think that\u2019s right. I mean, there were a few Republicans who were angry about, you know, the possibility of like\u2014they would say things like, You\u2019re gonna let Chinese men become American citizens?<\/em> And they were like, Yeah. Yeah, you know, it\u2019s the only way to do this<\/em>. It\u2019s the only way to make this not a white man\u2019s country, is to say, You know, it doesn\u2019t matter where you\u2019re from. It doesn\u2019t matter what the color of your skin is. It doesn\u2019t matter what your ethnic background is. If you were born in America, you are an American<\/em>. Except in these very narrow instances, you know: the child of a foreign diplomat, Native American nations, which were considered, you know, obviously separate from the United States at the time. Those are the only two exceptions.<\/p>\n

And that interpretation was so widely shared that the Court that decided Plessy v. Ferguson<\/em>, you know, the decision that legalized Jim Crow in the United States, they decided in Wong Kim Ark<\/em> that the fact that, you know, someone was Chinese did not prevent them from being a citizen if they were born in the United States.<\/p>\n

Harris:<\/strong> President Trump is the first sitting President in US History to attend oral arguments at the Supreme Court. And he did so for this case. In Trump versus Barbara, so why is the administration challenging birthright citizenship?<\/p>\n

Serwer: <\/strong>I think this administration, as an ideological principle, thinks that this is a white man\u2019s country, and as long as the birthright-citizenship clause exists, that principle cannot be fulfilled. And the reason is, you know, obviously, if all you need to be an American is to be born here, then that applies to everybody regardless of race. And this administration has been, you know, involved in what is essentially a gigantic demographic-engineering project with its quote-unquote \u201cmass deportation\u201d in an attempt to make the country whiter.<\/p>\n

So, you know, I really think to some extent this is a project\u2014I mean, we\u2019re talking about birthright citizenship, which is really important, but I really do think this is a larger project of essentially nullifying all of the Civil War amendments.<\/p>\n

I think the [Chief Justice John] Roberts Court\u2014and I should be clear: I don\u2019t know that they\u2019re going to side with Donald Trump on birthright citizenship. There were some indications on oral arguments that they did not take that argument very seriously. You know, John Roberts said something, the attorney arguing in favor of, you know, Trump\u2019s interpretation of the birthright-citizenship clause, he said something about, like, Times have changed<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Solicitor General D. John Sauer: <\/strong>\u201cWe\u2019re in a new world now, as Justice Alito pointed out to, where 8 billion people are one plane right away from having a child who\u2019s a U.S. citizen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Read more Democrats\u2019 Great Alaskan Hope<\/a><\/p>\n

Serwer:<\/strong> And Robert said something along the lines of:<\/p>\n

Roberts: <\/strong>\u201cWell, it\u2019s a new world. It\u2019s the same Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Serwer:<\/strong> So that may be an indication that the Court is at least not going to buy this one. I think ideologically, you know, the conservative majority on the Court favors a very narrow interpretation of the Civil War amendments, and that is convenient for the Trump administration, which wants to engage in overt racial discrimination\u2014overt racial and religious discrimination, I would argue.<\/p>\n

[Music<\/em>]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harris:<\/strong> After the break, we talk about the arguments for changing the birthright-citizenship law and how it would actually work.<\/p>\n

[Break<\/em>]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harris:<\/strong> So, Adam, the arguments against the Fourteenth Amendment hinge on an interpretation of the phrase \u201cand subject to the jurisdiction thereof\u201d and the citizenship clause of the law. And opponents argue that this goes beyond mere physical presence and includes a required allegiance to the U.S. that would exclude children born to people who are here illegally, or who are here legally but temporarily, so people on temporary visas. So what do you make of that argument?<\/p>\n

Serwer: <\/strong>It is an ahistoric argument that exists largely because of the Trump administration\u2019s desire to nullify the birthright-citizenship clause. The birthright-citizenship clause has never been interpreted this way. Again, the Plessy<\/em> Court did not interpret it this way. This is a long-standing principle of Anglo-American law. You know, if they were\u2014during the debates over the Fourteenth Amendment, they were literally talking about, you know, Does this really mean anybody except for the very narrow exceptions?,<\/em> \u201cand the jurisdiction thereof\u201d is, you know, when we\u2019re talking about Native American nations or foreign diplomats or children of foreign diplomats, that\u2019s what that narrow exception applies to. It would have made no sense to apply it to quote-unquote \u201cundocumented\u201d immigrants, because that concept did not exist at the time in the same way it does now.<\/p>\n

You know, the concept of an illegal immigrant is a relatively recent one in American law, and it really starts, you know, in the 19th century with the Chinese Exclusion Act and, you know, these racist restrictions on immigration to the United States. And that\u2019s not unconnected to the Trump administration, because one of Trump\u2019s most prominent advisers and the architect of his immigration purge is Stephen Miller. And Miller is someone who believes that the 1965 act that repealed those racist restrictions on immigration was the thing that ruined the country.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s really sort of extraordinarily, like, out in the open here as to, you know, what the purpose of what they\u2019re trying to do is. You know, their view is that America is based on a very specific ethno-religious tradition, and so the diversity of the country is destroying the America that they understand to be real America. And you know, this is part of their plan to reverse that.<\/p>\n

Harris:<\/strong> You know, I think a lot about one of The Atlantic<\/em> contributors, early Atlantic<\/em> contributors, Ralph Waldo Emerson, who says that the law stands to say, yesterday we agreed so and so. What say ye with this law today? <\/em>And the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments were examples of the American social contract being rewritten, of our laws sort of reflecting better the moral agreement that we had at the time. Is there an argument to be made that our nation has evolved so much since the Civil War era, since Reconstruction, that the makeup of our nation has evolved so much that that social contract once more needs updating?<\/p>\n

Serwer: <\/strong>I mean, look, you can make that argument. I mean, obviously, you know, Eric Foner, the eminent Civil War historian, Reconstruction historian, refers to you know, the Reconstruction era as the second founding, and I think that\u2019s an apt description for it. But we\u2019re talking about constitutional amendments here.<\/p>\n

The solution to fix the problems that you see with our collective social contract is to amend the Constitution. There\u2019s a process for that. You can propose an amendment for whatever you think is wrong with the Constitution as it currently exists, and then if it gets ratified and added to the Constitution, then you\u2019ve solved your problem. But instead, what the Trump administration is doing is demanding that the Supreme Court rewrite and nullify the Reconstruction amendments by fiat, you know, by arbitrary, one-sided decision, essentially amending the Constitution without having to actually amend it. And that, I think, is not defensible or justifiable.<\/p>\n

Harris: <\/strong>One question that I\u2019ve had, kind of growing out of the arguments\u2014the oral arguments and even before\u2014was something that had been written in The Atlantic<\/em>. It was basically What would this even look like?<\/em> Say that they try to modify the contract without a constitutional amendment\u2014they have the executive order. What would it even look like to implement something like this?<\/p>\n

Serwer: <\/strong>I think one of the things that people do not appreciate about this is how much absolute chaos this would be, because people think, Oh, this\u2019ll just hurt undocumented immigrants<\/em>. No. After this, every baby born in the United States has to prove that it\u2019s a citizen of the United States. It\u2019s total chaos. You have to show your papers. Your parents have to show your papers at birth. It would be a genuinely insane thing that would create all kinds of bureaucratic problems, headaches. You know, what happens if something goes wrong and someone\u2019s citizenship isn\u2019t proven and then, you know, they\u2019re stateless, even though their parents are American citizens? It\u2019s a bad idea from a policy-logistical point of view, in addition to being a thoroughly amoral thing.<\/p>\n

And even though, you know, birthright citizenship is actually the rule in the Western Hemisphere, you know, I understand that Donald Trump is constantly insisting that we\u2019re the only country who has it, but that\u2019s not true.<\/p>\n

Harris: <\/strong>You mentioned \u201cstateless,\u201d and I think people can hear that word and not sort of pin down exactly what it means to be stateless, like the position that a stateless person is actually put into. So can you just sort of explain a little bit what it would mean to be a stateless person?<\/p>\n

Serwer: <\/strong>I mean, if you\u2019re a stateless person, there\u2019s absolutely\u2014I mean you basically have no rights, right? You have no rights, except that which, you know, the people in whose custody you are see fit to give you, because there\u2019s no government that gives you a guarantee of certain particular rights. So I mean, I think, you know, mass statelessness is something\u2014 you know, I don\u2019t wanna be too categorical about this, but the immediate example I think of is Jews in displaced-person camps after World War II because no European country wants to take them. It creates a huge problem. It creates a class of people who can be abused and mistreated, you know, with no recourse, and that\u2019s a monstrous thing.<\/p>\n

Harris:<\/strong> If the Court decides to side with the president, what does that say about where we are as a multiracial democracy 250 years on from the Founding?<\/p>\n

Serwer: <\/strong>Well, what I would say is that you could really argue that America has not been a multiracial democracy for very long. Not until 1965 did everybody in America have the right to vote regardless of race or gender. You know, obviously, in the early 20th century, women get the right to vote, but that vote is still prescribed by Jim Crow and by the wholesale denial of Black men and Black women of the right to vote in the South. So it\u2019s really only 1965 when America becomes a true multiracial democracy, on paper at least. And since then, you know, in the past 20 years, we\u2019ve seen those protections being dismantled.<\/p>\n

And I think destroying birthright citizenship is, you know, a massive piece of that project of turning back the clock in America, so that you can define America in religious and ethnic terms rather than in the sort of universalist ideals that during the Cold War were espoused by both parties. I mean, if you go back and you look at Ronald Reagan\u2019s speeches, he\u2019s saying things like:<\/p>\n

President Ronald Reagan: <\/strong>You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American.<\/p>\n

Serwer:<\/strong> But once upon a time, that was just the established bipartisan consensus. And so the shattering of that consensus, I think, has tremendous implications, not just for the freedoms of people who are not considered fully American, but I think pretty much everybody, because you know, those kinds of rules force everybody else to prove their citizenship and therefore that they are entitled to the rights due to them under the Constitution as well.<\/p>\n

Harris: <\/strong>Adam, thank you so much for joining me, and we\u2019ll be watching in the days ahead.<\/p>\n

Serwer: <\/strong>Thank you so much for having me.<\/p>\n
