本周美国总统唐纳德·特朗普现身最高法院，但似乎无法说服大法官们——后者对总统限制无证移民后代出生权公民身份的提议持怀疑态度。
但特朗普此次具有历史意义的露面——此前从未有现任总统出席过最高法院的口头辩论——彰显了总统对于推翻一个多世纪以来法律先例的标志性努力的极大兴趣，该先例赋予所有在美国出生的人自动公民身份。
而特朗普现身最高法院此举可能在政治上产生重大影响：在中期选举前夕提振“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）选民的热情，届时共和党将捍卫其在参众两院脆弱的多数席位。

“移民是唐纳德·特朗普作为全国政治人物期间最具标志性的议题，他在边境安全方面的政绩仍是其第二任期的核心成就之一，”资深共和党战略家科林·里德告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
里德强调，“即便最高法院在这起特定案件中不支持他的立场，总统也明确表示，他不会放弃在更广泛议题上的承诺。”
特朗普历史性现身最高法院
去年重返白宫首日，特朗普签署了一项行政令，宣布在美国出生的无证移民子女或持有限期签证者的子女将不再获得美国公民身份。
但该政令迅速遭到多起诉讼起诉，随后全美各地的联邦法官均以其违反长期法律先例为由叫停，始终未能生效。

周三，特朗普在离开最高法院并案件辩论结束前一直保持沉默，随后他在社交媒体上发文称：“我们是世界上唯一一个愚蠢到允许‘出生权’公民身份的国家！”
大多数美国人似乎并不认同这一观点。
根据福克斯新闻3月20日至23日开展的全国民调，69%的选民支持非法移民子女在美国出生后获得出生权公民身份。

但两党在此问题上存在巨大分歧：91%的民主党人、四分之三的无党派人士支持此类情况下的出生权公民身份，而共和党人中这一比例仅为44%。
民调中多数共和党人（55%）持反对意见。在自称为MAGA共和党人的群体中，反对比例升至60%。

“打击非法移民一直是特朗普总统最具优势的议题，他让我们的边境比以往任何时候都更加安全。他显然正在开展多场战斗，出生权公民身份问题便是其中之一，”经验丰富的共和党传播专家蒂姆·默托夫告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
曾参与特朗普2020年和2024年总统竞选的默托夫表示，“总统出席口头辩论表明他对该议题有多重视，也比他不出席的情况更能让人们看清出生权公民身份的不合逻辑之处。”
默托夫认为，这一议题将让民主党在中期选举中陷入守势。
“最高法院有可能会表示，这一问题应由国会解决。如果真是这样，这将与中期选举高度相关，因为民主党会因支持非法移民和违法行为而陷入极大的守势，”默托夫辩称。
移民与边境安全曾是特朗普和共和党人的制胜议题，助力他们在2024年选举中取得压倒性胜利，重新夺回白宫和参议院席位，并捍卫了众议院多数席位。

但今年早些时候，特朗普史无前例的非法移民镇压行动引发了政治反弹，民调结果为共和党敲响了警钟，表明移民问题可能会在中期选举中反噬共和党。
“我们要明确：终止出生权公民身份是特朗普针对移民家庭的激进整体议程的核心内容，”民主党全国委员会主席肯·马丁指责道。“如果特朗普得偿所愿，推翻出生权公民身份将在我们的社区制造混乱。”

Trump elevates immigration fight at Supreme Court, turning up heat on Democrats ahead of midterms

Trump signed an executive order on his first day back in office, but federal judges blocked it from coast to coast

President Donald Trump’s presence at the Supreme Court this week may not sway the justices, who appeared skeptical of the president’s push to curb birthright citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
But Trump’s historic appearance — no sitting president has attended oral arguments at the high court before — showcased the president’s great interest in his landmark effort to upend more than a century of legal precedent that allowed automatic citizenship to those born in the U.S.
And the president’s presence at the Supreme Court may pack a political punch by energizing MAGA voters ahead of the midterm elections, when Republicans will be defending their fragile House and Senate majorities.

“Immigration is the issue that has most defined Donald Trump during his time as a national political figure, and his record on border security remains one of the core accomplishments of his second term,” longtime Republican strategist Colin Reed told Fox News Digital.
Reed emphasized that “even if the Supreme Court does not side with his perspective in this particular case, the president is making clear that he is not abandoning his commitment to the broader issue.”
TRUMP MAKES HISTORIC APPEARANCE AT THE SUPREME COURT
On his first day back in the White House last year, Trump signed an executive order which declared that children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants or those on limited-duration visas would no longer be granted U.S. citizenship.
But the order never took effect, after it was quickly hit with a slew of lawsuits and was subsequently blocked by federal judges from coast to coast who argued it violated longstanding legal precedent.

The president on Wednesday stayed quiet until after he left the court, and after the arguments in the case concluded, before taking to social media to write, “We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship!”
Most Americans appear to disagree.
Sixty-nine percent of voters support birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal immigrants, according to a Fox News national poll conducted March 20–23.

But there’s a wide partisan divide, with 91% of Democrats and three-quarters of independents but only 44% of Republicans supporting birthright citizenship in such cases.
A majority of Republicans questioned in the poll, 55%, disagreed. And among self-described MAGA Republicans, opposition edged up to 60%.

“Combating illegal immigration has always been President Trump’s strongest issue, and he’s made our borders more secure than they’ve ever been. He’s obviously fighting a lot of battles and birthright citizenship is one of them,” seasoned Republican communicator Tim Murtaugh told Fox News Digital.
Murtaugh, a veteran of Trump’s 2020 and 2024 presidential campaigns, said that “the president’s attendance at the oral arguments shows how much he cares about the issue, and draws a far brighter spotlight onto the illogic of birthright citizenship than would otherwise have happened if he hadn’t shown up.”
And Murtaugh sees the issue putting Democrats on defense in the midterms.
“It’s possible that the court will say that Congress must address the issue. If so, this would be highly relevant in the midterm elections because Democrats are very much going to be put on the defensive for their support of illegal aliens and lawlessness,” Murtaugh argued.
Immigration and border security was a winning issue for Trump and Republicans and helped fuel their sweeping victories in the 2024 elections, when they won back the White House and the Senate and defended their House majority.

But in the wake of political backlash earlier this year over Trump’s unprecedented illegal immigration crackdown, polling on the issue raises warning signs for Republicans and suggests immigration may come back to take a bite out of the GOP in the midterms.
“Let’s be clear: Ending birthright citizenship is central to Trump’s broader radical agenda to target immigrant families,” Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin charged. “If Trump gets his way, overturning birthright citizenship will create chaos in our communities.”
