About this episode

Many believe that the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to anyone born on United States soil. Senior research fellow Richard Epstein argues that this understanding is incorrect. He joins this episode of 'Civitas Conversations' to discuss the Supreme Court's consequential decision in 'Trump v. Barbara' as well as his new book 'The Myth of Birthright Citizenship.'
