First in Fox: Republican general prosecutors of 18 states are rejecting the demands filed by the AGs of Democrats and legal groups throughout the country challenging the executive order of the Trump administration on the citizenship of law at birth through a brief presentation of amicus established the established the Monday, Fox News Digital has learned.
“If someone comes with a tourist visa to have an anchored baby, it is not under that original meaning of the Constitution of the United States,” said Iowa Ag Brenna Bird to Fox News Digital in an interview on Monday. Bird is the main AG leading a brief presentation of AMICUS in support of the executive order on Monday.
“Often, when this has happened. It is the taxpayers who pay for medical care through Medicaid OA through hospitals, paying attention for someone to have a child or the State System of Child Health Insurance also,” he said Bird. “Each state has a system that helps children without insurance, so taxpayers are in the hook here for all costs.”

Bird's Amicus Brief comes in response to 18 states led by the Democrats who launched their own demand, claiming that the order is unconstitutional and “unprecedented.”
“The president has no authority to rewrite or cancel a constitutional amendment or a properly promulgated statute. Nor is it trained by any other source of law to limit who receives the citizenship of the United States at birth,” says the demand.
General Prosecutors of California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine and others signed in the lawsuit, together with the city and the county of San Francisco and Washington, DC.
The American Union of Civil Liberties (ACLU) filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on the same day signed by the order “in the name of organizations with members whose babies born in US land will be denied the citizenship under the order.” ACLU also said that the order is unconstitutional and against the intention of the Congress and Precedent of the Supreme Court.

Bird's Brief: Signed by AG Republicans from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisian In several arguments.
The first part of the brief of the 13 pages affirms that the executive order of President Donald Trump meets the “original meaning of the fourteenth amendment.” The second portion states that Trump's order “reduces damage to the United States.”
The brief establishes that the “interpretation of the wrong citizenship clause of the plaintiffs will continue the powerful incentive for citizens of foreign countries to give birth to the American soil, even if they should enter illegally to this country to do so.”
“The attractiveness of American citizenship motivates pregnant women to travel to the United States to give birth,” says the brief. “Some women, desperate to give birth in the United States, cross the border the day they give their baby.”
A border hospital administrator described witnessing pregnant women who arrived at the hospital in active labor, still wet and trembling to cross the river, determined to give birth in the United States, the report, which will be presented in the court of Massachusetts district of the United States.

Trump's order, entitled “Protecting the meaning and value of US citizenship” states that “the privilege of the United States citizenship does not automatically extend to people born in the United States” when the individual's parents are immigrants illegal in the United States or if your presence is legal but temporary. It was one of the first orders he signed after taking office in early January.
“President Trump is restoring the meaning and value of US citizenship, and also ensuring that if someone is violating the law, they will not be rewarded for that reason obtaining citizenship,” said Bird. “And then he is following the Constitution and making sure that we are defending our immigration laws.”
