Summary
Resurfaced videos of top Democrats, including former Senator Harry Reid, have sparked a conservative uproar on social media as they echo the argument of the Trump administration on birthright citizenship. In 1993, Reid introduced a bill to deny birthright citizenship to children born in the US to mothers who were neither US citizens nor lawful permanent residents. Reid later changed his stance, calling the bill a “mistake.” Many on social media pointed out the hypocrisy of Democrats who opposed similar measures proposed by Republicans. The debate comes as the Supreme Court hears a case on the Trump administration’s executive order seeking to end automatic citizenship for nearly all persons born in the US to undocumented parents.
