Trump’s latest birthright citizenship order is also unconstitutional

Summary

President Donald Trump issued a new executive order that aims to deny birthright citizenship to children born in the U.S. to parents who are in the country unlawfully or temporarily. This order contradicts a clear U.S. Supreme Court ruling that states the Constitution grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents’ legal status.
