Mark Gruenberg and John Wojcik at People’s World reports pundits are saying President Donald Trump is likely to lose his appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court in a case over his Executive Order taking away the right of automatic Birthright Citizenship that is spelled out in the U.S. Constitution. But the Department of Justice is pursuing the case anyway, though, because the Trump Administration sees political benefits - even if it loses. By Trump’s Lawyers grandstanding before the Supreme Court, observers note, Trump aims to strengthen the support Republicans get from Right-Wing xenophobes and racists, parallel to how the GOP seeks votes in those same circles by campaigning against Diversity Programs and backing ICE roundups. At the Supreme Court on Wednesday (April 1st), led by the National AFL-CIO, the Nation’s Unions are siding with the Constitution and against the Trump regime in the controversial Birthright Citizenship case. The Labor Movement backs the case challenging Trump’s order, which is being argued by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). “Elimination of Birthright Citizenship would transform promising future generations into a permanent underclass,” the National AFL-CIO and its allies warn. Underlining the realization by Organized Labor of the importance of this issue to all Workers, Unions on the friend-of-the-court brief include the Communications Workers of America, the Laborers, the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees, the American Federation of Teachers, the National Education Association, the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Workers, the United Food and Commercial Workers, the United Farm Workers, Actors Equity, the Bricklayers, the Professional and Technical Engineers, the Service Employees International Union, Unite HERE, the International Union of Painters & Allied Trades, the United Auto Workers, and Writers Guild of America East. All unite around the basic proposition that eliminating Birthright Citizenship is against the interests of the entire Working Class.
