J.D. Vance: 5-4 Decision on Birthright Citizenship Means that the Concept Is ‘Hanging by a Thread’

TRANSCRIPT:

VANCE: "I know a lot of conservatives, Laura, certainly the people that I’m talking to, that you're talking to, are extremely disappointed in this. I do actually think there is a really big silver lining here, and that’s the simple fact that a lot of legal experts expected this case to go the wrong direction by 7-2 or even 8-1. The fact that this case was a 5-4 decision effectively means that the concept of birthright citizenship, which is an absurdity to the 14th Amendment, that concept is hanging by a thread. So what I take from that is, yes, we’ve got to fix the immigration system even more, we have to be even more aware of who is coming into our country to make sure that they are not benefiting from this atrocious Supreme Court ruling, but it also means that we have to keep fighting, Laura, because we actually have an opportunity to reverse this decision just as we've reversed so many bad decisions throughout the generations."
