However, just over a month ago the Supreme Court issued a ruling that declared Trump’s order illegal.
Despite the Supreme Court setback, the president is pressing on with the issue.
“The privilege of United States citizenship is a priceless and profound gift,” he said.
Finally, Trump’s executive order affects babies of mothers who enter the United States “expressly and deceptively enter the U.S. for the sole purpose of having a child here.”
The orders will face Supreme Court scrutiny and raise many questions about their legality.
