Birthright Blues: Trump's Endless Quest to Rewrite Citizenship Rules President Donald Trump has fired another salvo in his ongoing battle to restrict birthright citizenship, launching a lawsuit against the administration's new executive orders aimed at limiting automatic citizenship for infants born in the US.
The move is consistent with Trump's history of pushing the boundaries of what is constitutional and reshaping immigration policy in his image.
The controversy revolves around the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, specifically Section 1, which states that all persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens thereof.
