The Court Got Birthright Citizenship Wrong

Many believe that the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to anyone born on United States soil. Senior research fellow Richard Epstein argues that this understanding is incorrect. He joins this episode of Civitas Conversations to discuss the Supreme Court's consequential decision in Trump v. Barbara as well as his new book The Myth of Birthright Citizenship. Civitas Conversations features leading scholars, commentators, and thought leaders for in-depth discussions of the latest essays in Civitas Outlook—and the ideas behind them. A production of the Civitas Institute at the University of Texas at Austin.
