Kavanaugh provided some advice to Republicans in Congress on the birthright citizenship ruling:
“In my view, the Executive Order does not violate the 14th Amendment. But the Order does contravene a federal statute. Congress could—consistent with the 14th Amendment—amend or otherwise enact new legislation establishing exceptions to birthright citizenship for children born to foreign citizens unlawfully or temporarily in the country.”
