00:00Voy a empezar a steal my ball.
00:39Unrestricted birthright citizenship contradicts the practice of the overwhelming majority of modern nations.
00:45It demeans the priceless and profound gift of American citizenship.
00:49It operates as a powerful pull factor for illegal immigration and rewards illegal aliens who not only violate the immigration
00:57laws, but also jump in front of those who follow the rules.
01:01It has spawned a sprawling industry of birth tourism as uncounted thousands of foreigners from potentially hostile nations have flocked
01:08to give birth in the United States in recent decades, creating a whole generation of American citizens abroad with no
01:14meaningful ties to the United States.
01:16We're in a new world now, as Justice Alito pointed out to, where 8 billion people are one plane ride
01:20away from having a child who's a U.S. citizen.
01:23Well, it's a new world. It's the same constitution.
01:27It is. And as Justice Scalia said, I think in the case that Justice Alito was referring to, you've got
01:33a constitutional provision that addresses certain evils and it should be extended to reasonably comparable evils.
01:38He said that about stash to our interpretation. I think the same principle applies here. And I think we quote
01:41that in our brief.
01:42Thank you.
01:43Swaths of American laws would be rendered senseless. Thousands of American babies will immediately lose their citizenship.
01:51And if you credit the government's theory, the citizenship of millions of Americans, past, present and future, could be called
01:58into question.
01:59How does this work? Are you suggesting that when a baby is born, people have to have documents, present documents?
02:08Is this happening in the delivery room? How are we determining when or whether a newborn child is a citizen
02:16of the United States under your rule?
02:18And I think that's directly addressed in the SSA guidance that's cited in our brief.
02:21What SSA says is there's currently a system where, for example, Social Security numbers are generated based on the birth
02:27certificate.
02:28They say this can still be, for the vast majority of instances, completely transparent.
02:32You will still get a...
02:33No, not transparent. I'm just talking about the particulars.
02:35Because now you say your rule turns on whether the person intended to stay in the United States.
02:40And I think Justice Barrett brought this up.
02:42So we're bringing pregnant women in for depositions.
02:45What are we doing to figure this out?
02:47Now, as I pointed out earlier, the executive order turns on lawfulness of status.
02:52So if you give birth to a baby in the hospital right now, it gets the birth certificate in the
02:57system.
02:58There's a computer system.
02:58So there's no opportunity.
03:00There's apparently no opportunity then for the person to prove or to say that they actually intended to stay in
03:06the United States.
03:06Absolutely not. The opposite is true.
03:08So their opportunity to dispute, if they think they were wrongly denied, which would only happen in a tiny minority
03:12of cases, is directly addressing that guidance.
03:14After the fact.
03:15Yes.
03:15After their baby has been denied citizenship, then we can go through the process.
03:23Ms. Wong?
03:24Mr. Chief Justice, and may it please the court, ask any American what our citizenship rule is, and they'll tell
03:31you.
03:32Everyone born here is a citizen alike.
03:34That rule was enshrined in the 14th Amendment to put it out of the reach of any government official to
03:40destroy.
03:41Hands off!
03:44Birthright citizenship!
03:45Hands off!
03:4614th Amendment!
03:48Hands off!
03:4914th Amendment!
03:50We say no!
03:51Now's the time for Trump to go!
03:53Now's the time for Trump to go!
03:55This is what's going to happen to you.
03:57You saw how Mayor Ras Baraka and targeted along a trajectory that leads to catastrophe.
04:04This is what we are seeing right now.
04:12Trump must go now!
04:14Trump must go now!
04:16Trump must go now!
04:17Trump must go now!
04:19Trump must go now!
04:19Trump must go now!
04:19Playing from their playbook.
04:22Trump must go now!
04:24Trump must go now!
04:26Trump must go now!
04:28Trump must go now!
04:30Trump must go now!
04:30Trump must go now!
04:32Trump must go now!
04:34¡No, no, Trump has got to go!
05:04It was meant for the babies of slaves,
05:06and it's so clean and so obvious.
05:08But this lets us go there and finally win that case,
05:11because hundreds of thousands of people
05:13are pouring into our country under birthright citizenship,
05:16and it wasn't meant for that reason.
