President Trump plans to move forward with an executive order barring citizenship for children of non-resident immigrants, following a Supreme Court ruling limiting nationwide injunctions. The order has been based on a flawed interpretation of the 14th Amendment, particularly the phrase 'subject to the jurisdiction.' Critics argue that this interpretation undermines legal principles, as it would imply non-citizens are not subject to U.S. law. The amendment clearly states that anyone born in the U.S. becomes a citizen at birth, regardless of parental immigration status. Challenges to this executive order are currently in the courts.
The order denying citizenship to children of immigrants is based on inaccurate interpretations of the 14th Amendment and immigration history in the U.S. Challenges to that order are ongoing.
Supporters of the president argue that the clause 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof' excludes non-permanent residents, which is a flawed argument with no basis in the legal system.
