Holding
The Court held that children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment Citizenship Clause, reasoning that they are born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof. The outcome cuts against the restrictionist citizenship posture of Article VI, scoring that Article low, but the opinion applies the constitutional text and Wong Kim Ark precedent faithfully, aligning with Article XVII on the Constitution as written. No Automatic Fail: the opinion states no explicit open-borders or unrestricted-immigration position. High factual reliability of a primary judicial source lifts the final. Final 64 — Mostly America First.
It is the judgment of this Court that Opinion No. 2026-0627 is hereby entered into the record, in accordance with the America First Constitutional Standard. The score stands. The reasoning is published. The record is public.
