SOUTH BEND, Ind, -- A Notre Dame Scholar submitted an Amicus Brief to the Supreme Court on the Trump Administration's effort to end the law known as "Birthright Citizenship.

The scholar, Amy Hsin, is a Professor of Migration at the Notre Dame Keough School of Global Affairs.

 Hsin saying in a statement to ABC57 quote, “The research overwhelmingly shows that birthright citizenship has profoundly positive effects on individuals and society.”

Arguments in the Supreme Court begin on April 1st.
