美国总统川普10月29日在接受美媒Axios采访时说，正计划签署一项行政命令，取消“非
美国公民的孩子只要出生在美国就可以获得公民身份”的政策。川普说，已经通过律师提
出了终止这项政策的想法。
“人们总是告诉我，你需要一个宪法修正案，你猜怎么着？我可以通过行政命令做到这一
点。”“我们是世界上唯一这样做的国家，你来到美国，生一个孩子，孩子就成美国公民
了，还拥有所有美国公民的权利。这太荒谬了，这个必须终止。”
The legal challenges would force the courts to decide on a constitutional
debate over the 14th Amendment, which says:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State
wherein they reside."
John Eastman, a constitutional scholar and director of Chapman University's
Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, told "Axios on HBO" that the
Constitution has been misapplied over the past 40 or so years. He says the
line "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" originally referred to people
with full, political allegiance to the U.S. — green card holders and
citizens.
Until the 1960s, the 14th Amendment was never applied to undocumented or
temporary immigrants, Eastman said.
The Supreme Court has already ruled that children born to immigrants who are
legal permanent residents have citizenship. But those who claim the 14th
Amendment should not apply to everyone point to the fact that there has been
no ruling on a case specifically involving undocumented immigrants or those
with temporary legal status.
The bottom line: If Trump follows through on the executive order, "the
courts would have to weigh in in a way they haven't," Eastman said.
