The Trump administration on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to allow it to enforce an executive order signed by President Donald Trump ending birthright citizenship – the guarantee of citizenship to virtually anyone born in the United States. In a trio of near-identical filings by Acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris, the administration urged the justices to partially block preliminary injunctions, issued by federal district judges in Seattle, Maryland, and Massachusetts, that bar the government from implementing Trump’s executive order anywhere in the country.
Is there anything in law that states a child is a citizen through something other than birthright citizenship? I don’t believe that every country grants citizenship to children automatically.
There’s basically two methods worldwide for children to become citizens easily - you’re born there, or your parents are citizens from there.
