President Trump expressed hope that the Supreme Court would strike down automatic birthright citizenship when it releases its decision in the case on Tuesday. "I think it's very bad for our nation. We're the only nation that does it. No other nation does that birthright citizenship, no, not even close. Some did it, they ended it. It's tremendously destructive, it's extremely costly," Trump said in the Oval Office."It's up to them, but in terms of for the good of the country, it'd be great if they didn't allow it, it would be great, but I can't tell you." #donaldtrump #birthrightcitizenship #supremecourt

Video Summary
President Trump has voiced his preference for the Supreme Court to overturn automatic birthright citizenship upon its upcoming decision in a pending case scheduled for Tuesday. Speaking from the Oval Office, he described the current system as detrimental to the nation, noting that it is unique among countries since no other nation grants citizenship solely based on birthplace. He characterized the practice as both destructive and expensive, suggesting that while he cannot dictate the court's ruling, ending the policy would be beneficial for the country. The administration hopes the justices will align with this view when they release their verdict later in the week. This commentary comes as the legal community awaits the final judgment which could significantly alter immigration and citizenship laws in the United States. The New York Post reported these remarks, highlighting the President's strong stance on the issue while acknowledging that the ultimate outcome rests entirely with the judicial branch.
