Steve Vladeck: Birthright Citizenship, "Invasions," and the Supreme Court

In  Birthright Citizenship, "Invasions," and the Supreme Court, Steve Vladeck writes that "I have no doubt that Trump will try to do something that looks like a restriction of birthright citizenship. And whatever he attempts might even meet with at least some initial success . . . .  But . . . there are compelling reasons to believe that birthright citizenship is not going anywhere, anytime soon. The larger issue is the possibility that headlines about Trump being rebuffed on birthright citizenship may obfuscate more effective, but perhaps no-less-legally-dubious shifts in immigration policy in the new administration."
