Citizenship debate by birth has re -exploded into national discourse this week after that President Donald Trump signed an executive command on the prohibition.
Trump’s ban was supposed to take effect on February 19, but the federal judge in Seattle on Thursday temporarily blocked the command. Some experts believe that the issue will eventually resolve the Supreme Court.
If the prohibition finally enters into force, tens of thousands of children born from parents of illegal immigrants are likely to affect.

Gregg Jarrett: President Trump has a valid nationality argument by birth
The Immigration Studies Center, a non-profit research organization that focuses on immigration, said on Friday that there were between 225,000 to 250,000 born in the US by illegal immigrants in 2023 on the basis of its preliminary findings, which accounts for about 7% of the total number of born in the US. Now that year.
In order to put the figure in context, the group says these figures are greater than the total number of born in all countries except in two individuals.
Furthermore, more children seem to have been born of parents of illegal immigrants than from parents who are not nationals.
Although they are not yet available, the group says the figures for 2024. It is likely to be even higher with respect to the wave illegal immigrants to the ground under Biden’s administration.
The Center for Immigration Studies says that the last time he deeply explored the birth of legal and illegal immigrants in the US in 2018. Based on the analysis of the American Community (ACS) of the Census Office. The group says she used the same methodology for her preliminary findings from 2023.
The group says illegal immigrants are present in the census data, but the Institute never explicitly identifies them. Fox News Digital requested the figures from the Census and Homeland Security Office, but did not immediately receive an answer.
A 2018 report found that in 2014. The group said she estimated that legal immigrants make up 12.4% (494,000) of all born, and illegal immigrants 7.5% (297,000).

Trump’s orderentitled “Protection of the meaning and value of US citizenship” seeks to clarify the 14th amendment, which says: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, are citizens of the United States and the state in which they reside.”
He explains that those whose parents are illegal immigrants or those who were legally here but with temporary unusual visas are not citizens of birth.
“The fourteenth amendment has never been interpreted so that universally expands citizenship to all who have been born in the United States,” the order reads.
Trump repeatedly described nationality at birth as “funny” and something that needs to stop. The US is one of approximately 30 countries in which nationality is used at birth.
The decision of the American District Judge John Coughenour, appointed by Ronald Reagan, comes from Thursday in response to four US countries – Arizona, Illinois, Oregon and Washington – who sued to block Trump’s executive order, which Trump signed shortly after he laid the presidential oath.
Coughenour said on Thursday that Executive Regulation on Citizenship Prohibition by Birth “Stars the mind,” and told the court that he could not remember that he had seen the case so “obviously unimportant” in his accused bench in his accused bench.
A 14 -day approach to the Coughenour approved will be applied to the entire US

In the meantime, the administration may ask the Federal Court of Appeal in San Francisco to abolish three and allow execution for now, while the case is in litigation – a process that could take many months.
AND Ministry of Justice A spokesman told Fox News that he would “vigorously defend the” Executive Regulation of President Trump “, which correctly interprets the 14th Amendment of the American Constitution.”
“We are looking forward to bringing full argument on the Meritum to the US people, who desperately wants to see the implementation of our country’s law.”
