“order outlined two categories of individuals born in the U.S. who do not automatically receive citizenship, in the White House’s view. The first is a baby whose mother was unlawfully present in the U.S. and whose father was not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of that baby’s birth. The second is a baby whose mother’s presence in the U.S. “was lawful but temporary” and whose father was not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of that baby’s birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, the order doesn’t just apply to children born to undocumented immigrants. “Lawful but temporary” status includes people “on a student, work, or tourist visa,” according to the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some visa holders maintain a “temporary” presence in the U.S. for decades.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
