Many of the arguments in today’s case go back to the Supreme Court’s 1898 ruling in the case of Wong Kim Ark, which said a US born child of Chinese nationals was a citizen.
In that ruling, Justice Horace Gray wrote that #14thAmendment “affirms the ancient & fundamental rule of citizenship by birth within the territory. That, he wrote, is “including all children here born of resident aliens.”
