Some Latino Republicans in South Texas are breaking with President Donald Trump over his push to restrict birthright citizenship, raising concerns about its impact on families and questioning a policy many view as a core American principle, according to a sprawling report from The New York Times.
The shift comes as the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments on the legality of Trump's executive order seeking to limit automatic citizenship for children born in the United States to parents who are not citizens or legal permanent residents. For decades, birthright citizenship has been widely understood as guaranteed under the 14th Amendment.
