President Trump recently said that U.S. "birthright citizenship" was originally meant to protect the rights of the descendants of enslaved people, not to let wealthy foreigners come to the United States to give birth and have their children automatically become U.S. citizens.

He also specifically mentioned some people from China and other places.

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case about an executive order he proposed.

The order says that if a newborn's parents are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, the child cannot automatically get U.S. citizenship.

Birthright citizenship is related to the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This law was passed after the U.S. Civil War and says that people born in the United States and subject to U.S. law can become U.S. citizens.
