President Donald Trump urged the Supreme Court justices on Monday to "use common sense" and rule that birthright citizenship is unconstitutional.

"It is unfortunate that the Supreme Court is not able to watch and study the birthright citizenship scam that will be on the Mark Levin Show tonight," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "If they knew that, they would never allow such a scam for money to continue. They must use common sense for the good of our country."

Mark Levin is a prominent conservative political commentator who served as Chief of Staff to Attorney General Edwin Meese in the Reagan administration, and currently hosts the political talk radio show "The Mark Levin Show" and the Fox News program "Life, Liberty & Levin."

Trump also criticized the Supreme Court's past ruling on tariffs, warning them not to repeat such mistakes.

"They have been horribly wrong on tariffs, and the U.S. has wasted hundreds of billions of dollars in unnecessary refunds while enriching hate-filled scoundrels. Why? Don’t do it again!" he wrote.

"There is a limit to what the country can endure with court decisions that are not responsible," he added.

These remarks come as the Supreme Court reviews the constitutionality of an executive order by Trump that would have halted the automatic granting of citizenship to children born in the U.S. to undocumented or temporary resident parents.

The executive order was one of the key elements of Trump's broader policy to correct what he called loopholes in immigration law.

Trump has argued that the current interpretation of birthright citizenship is a misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment and has been widely abused.

He emphasized that the 14th Amendment was intended to grant citizenship to the children of former slaves and not for modern "scams" designed to gift U.S. citizenship to children.

Supporters of Trump's position argue that the current system encourages illegal immigration and "birth tourism," allowing both wealthy foreigners and illegal immigrants to exploit U.S. law.

They contend that a re-examination of the issue is necessary to restore fairness and protect the value of American citizenship.

The Supreme Court heard arguments in the case last week, with President Trump making a rare appearance at the oral arguments, highlighting the significance of the issue.

While some justices expressed skepticism about the legal basis of the executive order, others indicated a willingness to re-examine the long-standing interpretation of the 14th Amendment.

Justice Clarence Thomas, for example, questioned whether the original discussions surrounding the amendment were intended to address modern immigration issues.

"How did the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment overrule Dred Scott?" he asked, referencing the 1857 ruling that denied citizenship to Black people, thereby highlighting who the 14th Amendment was originally intended for.

He also asked, "How much of the congressional discussions regarding the 14th Amendment were in regard to immigration?" questioning whether the framers intended to automatically grant citizenship to the children of foreign immigrants at the time.

Furthermore, Justice Thomas referred to the 1898 case of "United States v. Wong Kim Ark," which recognized birthright citizenship, noting that the parents in that case had a "domicile" in the United States and had settled there.

This remark was intended to support the government's argument that the Wong Kim Ark precedent might be difficult to apply to "mere visitors" or "illegal immigrants" who have no intention of permanent residency.

Conversely, critics, including immigration activists and civil liberties groups, argue that the Constitution clearly guarantees citizenship to all individuals born on U.S. soil.

Lower courts have so far blocked the implementation of Trump's executive order, relying on precedent that has been in place for over 100 years.

The case is widely expected to have broad implications for immigration policy and executive authority.

Newsmax reported that the Supreme Court is expected to issue its final ruling in early summer.
