President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship for children born to unauthorized immigrants and those on temporary visas. Legal experts argue the move contradicts longstanding legal precedent and is likely to face constitutional challenges.
Donald Trump on Monday tried to use executive authority to end birthright citizenship for children born to people who are in the country without authorisation or who hold temporary work, student or tourist visas. Legal experts said the sweeping effort runs counter to more than a century of legal precedent and is unlikely to pass constitutional muster.
” In addition to near-certain litigation, the plan faces significant logistical hurdles. The administration plans to enforce Trump’s order by withholding documents, such as passports, from people it deems ineligible for citizenship. The order also said the administration will refuse to accept documents from local or state governments that purport to recognise the citizenship of the children it has deemed ineligible for citizenship.
