Washington – In line with President Donald Trump’s executive order to end citizenship, the Republicans revealed the Republicans on Thursday legislation This would change the federal immigration law to narrow down the scope of citizenship, although the law is anchored in the US constitution.
Trump’s Monday executive order has already been suspended constant legal challenges from democratic public prosecutors General and the ACLU with oral arguments for a case with several cases before Thursday before a federal court in the state of Washington.
The sponsor of the house bill, HR 569GOP Texas Rep. Brian Babin, said he welcomed the legal challenges for Trump’s executive order and his invoice.
“We appreciate and wanted the challenges,” he said. “This is how we can bring it to the United States’s Supreme Court. This thing could take up to three years before it rises on the High Court and see how they (rule). “
Republican Republican of Arizona, Andy Biggs, who was also at the press conference, said that despite A Case of the Supreme Court in 1898 This citizenship written in the 14th amendment, which is of the opinion that the GOP invoice is confirmed in court.
Other Republicans at the press event were the reps. Mike Collins from Georgia, Diana Harshbarger from Tennessee, Brandon Gill from Texas, John Rose from Tennessee, Tom Tiffany from Wisconsin and Ralph Norman from South Carolina.
“In the end, I think and I predict and predict that the Supreme Court of the United States will decide that this will be constitutionally under constitutional law,” this special legal process, “said Biggs.
Trump has appointed a third of the Supreme Court, which consolidated a conservative 6-3 majority.
In 1898 the Supreme Court confirmed the birth law care of the 14th change – which means that citizenship is guaranteed by every child born in the country, with the exception of children born for foreign diplomats.
Trumps Monday executive order This ends the citizenship of the federal government of not recognizing or granting the documentation of citizenship to a child who was born after February 19 without approval in the country, or in children with a parent who in the United States in a ephemeral visa is and another parent who is a non -official.
There is approximately 5.5 million US children who were born at least one parent who are an undocumented immigrant and 1.8 million US children with two undocumented parents.
Babin’s legislation would change to the Federal Immigration Act, the law on immigration nationality. It is said that citizenship would be born in the United States who have at least one parent, the US citizen or a Green Card owner or an immigrant with a legal status that serves in the military.
It is not about the potential that some parents could have a different legal immigration status such as work or student visa. According to the text, it would only affect the children who were born in accordance with the law of the law – although there are probably immediate legal challenges.
“This is about ensuring citizenship, a cornerstone of our national identity that is protected, respected and oriented with the principles on which this country was built,” said Babin.
