The words of a top Democrat proclaiming that “no sane country” would provide birthright citizenship to the children of non-residents was promoted by President Donald Trump on Oct. 31 as he argued that the Supreme Court will ultimately decide the issue.

Trump noted a 1993 speech by Harry Reid on the Senate Floor a day after he stunned lawmakers by announcing he planned to sign an executive order to end birthright citizenship to non-residents.
