By tying a newborn\u2019s status to their parents\u2019 paperwork, it redraws the boundary between \u201cus\u201d and \u201cthem\u201d in the delivery room itself. Undocumented parents would see their children denied automatic citizenship, but so would families on student, work, or tourist visas who followed every rule they were given.<\/p>\n<p>The legal backlash has been fierce. Twenty-two state attorneys general argue that the 14th Amendment\u2019s promise is unambiguous, warning that the order would create a permanent class of people born here yet never fully accepted. As the Supreme Court weighs the case, the stakes extend far beyond immigration law: at issue is whether America will honor a post\u2013Civil War commitment to equality, or allow fear and political theater to redefine who gets to call this country home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump\u2019s executive order targeting birthright citizenship strikes at the core of how America has defined belonging since 1868.
