"President Donald Trump indicated that he see’s a roadmap to re-introduce an executive order on birthright citizenship using an opinion authored by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The new plan comes just days after the Supreme Court struck down a sweeping order that would have fundamentally altered the practice, which automatically grants U.S. citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents’ immigration status.
The executive order specified two categories of children who would not be considered citizens: those born to a mother unlawfully present in the United States where the father was neither a U.S. citizen nor a lawful permanent resident, and those born to a mother whose presence was lawful but temporary (such as on a visa) where the father was neither a U.S. citizen nor a lawful permanent resident. The order directed the Secretaries of State, Homeland Security, and other officials to align regulations and policies accordingly."
