Principle of right to soil
Historically, the United States grants citizenship on the principle of "jus soli", or right to soil: all Those born in the United States are American citizens, including children of tourists or immigrants. Exceptions are few and specific, such as for children of diplomats from other countries serving in the US.
The so-called birthright citizenship is provided for in the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, which states that "all persons born" in the United States "are citizens of the United States".

The measure is part of a broader package to combat immigration, which could bar the granting of citizenship to children born in the US to immigrants or tourists.

This Tuesday's decision by the Supreme Court maintains the understanding of the 14th Amendment consolidated since 1898, when it decided in favor of granting citizenship to Wong Kim Ark, son of Chinese parents born in the USA.
The Trump administration claimed that automatic citizenship encourages citizenship. irregular immigration and so-called "birth tourism," when foreigners travel to the country to have children and secure American citizenship for them.
The justices' arguments
Conservative Justice John Roberts, chief justice of the Supreme Court and rapporteur of Tuesday's decision, cited 1898 precedent and said there was "little evidence" to support the Trump administration's "drastically revisionist view" on how to interpret the 14th Amendment's language to limit birthright citizenship.
"It is not surprising, then, that in 128 years since then, we have repeatedly understood the rule established in Wong Kim Ark to guarantee citizenship to all children born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction," Roberts wrote. "We see no reason to depart from that interpretation today."
