U.S. Supreme Court Supports Birthright Citizenship
本站:原文:
měi guó zuì gāo fǎ yuàn美国最高法院zuì jìn最近shuōchū shēng gōng mín quán出生公民权hái shì还是yǒu xiào有效

The U.S. Supreme Court recently said that birthright citizenship is still valid.

yì si意思shìchú le除了hěnshǎodetè bié特别qíng kuàng情况zhǐ yào只要hái zi孩子zàiměi guó美国chū shēng出生yì bān一般jiùkě yǐ可以chéng wéi成为měi guó美国gōng mín公民

This means that, except for a few special cases, a child born in the United States can generally become a U.S. citizen.

zhè ge这个yuán zé原则lái zì来自měi guó美国xiàn fǎ宪法yǐ jīng已经yònglehěnduō nián多年

This principle comes from the U.S. Constitution and has been used for many years.

President Trump once signed an executive order trying to limit this right, but lower courts had already blocked it, so the order was never actually put into effect.

The Supreme Court also said this kind of restriction is unlawful.

fǎ yuàn法院háití dào提到yí gè一个hěnyǒu míng有名dejiù àn旧案

The Court also mentioned a very famous old case.

In 1898, the Supreme Court said that children of Chinese immigrants born in the United States also had U.S. citizenship.

tè lǎng pǔ特朗普duìzhè ge这个jié guǒ结果hěnmǎn yì满意háishuōxī wàng希望guó huì国会yǐ hòu以后gǎifǎ lǜ法律

Trump was very unhappy with this result and said he hoped Congress would change the law in the future.

bù guò不过xiàn zài现在měi guó美国chū shēng出生dehěn duō很多hái zi孩子degōng mín公民shēn fèn身份hái shì还是shòu dào受到fǎ lǜ法律bǎo hù保护

But for now, the citizenship of many children born in the United States is still protected by law.
