The 5-4 decision upheld the existing legal framework, making any changes to birthright citizenship require a constitutional amendment—a process deemed highly unlikely under current political conditions. The ruling has intensified calls for increased immigration enforcement, particularly focusing on work-related compliance through measures like workplace raids and limiting access to financial systems for undocumented immigrants.

He noted that these children are often raised in China, highlighting that the U.S. government does not track the nationalities of parents on birth certificates, making it difficult to determine the exact scale of this phenomenon. Schweizer estimated that since 2013, there could be over 1 million such individuals. The discussion was based on reports from Chinese research firms and the Chinese government's claims.
