In a move that could redraw a century-old premise, the United States is confronting the meaning of birthright citizenship. The administration has pressed the Supreme Court to decide whether the long-standing guarantee that anyone born on American soil becomes a citizen could be ended or narrowed under the 14th Amendment. While the courts have not yet upheld such a dramatic shift, the dispute signals a potential turning point in U.S. immigration and constitutional law. For Thai readers, this isn’t just a distant legal argument; it could influence family plans, study opportunities, and long-term ties to the United States, a country that remains a major destination for Thai students, workers, and travelers.
