House Republicans told the Supreme Court on Oct. 10 that the Constitution’s guarantee of birthright citizenship didn’t include the children of illegal immigrants.

Their arguments came as part of an amicus brief supporting President Donald Trump’s attempts to appeal lower court decisions stating that he was wrong to exclude the children of illegal immigrants from that guarantee under the 14th Amendment.
