New Jersey’s attorney general said Tuesday he is leading an effort to block President Donald Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship. Apart from them, 18 states including Colombia and San Francisco have also opposed Trump’s decision.
Explaining the reason for opposing the decision, New Jersey Attorney General Matt Flatkin said that the President has broad power, but he is not a king.
Attorney General Platkin and immigrant rights advocates on the Democratic camp cited the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which says people born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction are citizens. It is clear that this also applies to those whose parents were not legal citizens at the time of their birth.
Which important executive orders did Trump issue on the first day, what were their effects?
Donald Trump had already given a lot of information about the Republican government’s plan in his speech after taking oath on Monday. In this context, he has signed many executive orders. Some of the major orders include the order to abolish the right to citizenship by birth, the step to leave the World Health Organization, the initiative to impose national energy emergency and the order related to recognition of only two genders in America.
What is Trump’s order on citizenship by birth?
Apart from the executive orders related to changes in immigration policy and policies of granting citizenship to refugees, an important order of Trump is related to ending citizenship by birth. Under this, now children of illegal refugees will not be able to get American citizenship despite being born in America. At least one of the parents of the children must be a US citizen or resident.
Trump’s reasoning behind the order?
According to Trump’s order, if a child’s mother was in America illegally or temporarily at the time of birth and his father did not have American citizenship or permission to reside permanently, then such children were not given American citizenship. Will go.
What is the meaning of this order?
Before this, any child born on American soil had the right to American citizenship at birth. This right is given under the 14th Amendment Act of the US Constitution. On violation of this, the executive order can be challenged in the court. After 30 days of this order by the Trump administration, children born in America will be given citizenship only by linking it to their parents’ legal right to live in the country.
