Former US House speaker, Nancy Pelosi has reacted to a federal judge blocking President Donald Trump’s order seeking to end birthright citizenship for children of migrants.

Recall that on Monday, January 20, President Trump after his swearing-in, invoked his presidential orders to begin his long-touted immigration crackdown.

He signed an executive order, ending birthright citizenship for babies born to a mother and father who are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents.
However, on Thursday, U.S. District Judge, John C. Coughenour issued a ruling, temporarily blocking President Trump's executive order that aimed to end birthright citizenship for children born to migrants in the U.S. temporarily or without legal status.

Coughenour issued the temporary restraining order after a hearing in Seattle.
The judge signed the temporary restraining order in response to a lawsuit brought by Oregon, Arizona, Illinois, and Washington state, one of several suits opposing the administration's effort to curb the right of citizenship for anyone born on U.S. soil.
In the courtroom in downtown Seattle, Coughenour interrupted the attorney for the Justice Department, Brett Schumate, to tell him how unconstitutional he thinks the administration's order is.
I've been on the bench for four decades, I can't remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one is," Coughenour said, describing Trump's order as "blatantly unconstitutional."

America is a migrant country. They have exterminated the real indigenes, the red Indians.

Even Trump is a beneficiary of the American by birth law because his forefathers were immigrants.

Every land is made up of immigrants. In the early stages of humanity, people migrated to various lands to form clans.

Now because we all came to our present environment through immigration at one point of our existence,does it mean we throw the gates open allow people move in and out without proper vetting?. Does it mean anyone can just claim to be part of us, understanding our culture,values and struggles just cuz they were born on the land?

Maybe you can ask their forefathers why they put it in their Constitution and it was written there in black and white.

In the US of A. It is not a case of executive action. It is a case of written in black and white in their Constitution.

The same with rights to bear arms. Wondered why America has a huge gun problem? It is because it is in the Constitution.

So if they want to stop non immigrants not to birth kids that are Americans automatically,they should also stop the right for every Tom,Dick and Harry having Military style firearms. Because come to look at it that makes no sense more than fighting over citizenship
