President Donald Trump is seeking to end birthright citizenship, a move to cut off a longstanding constitutional right that could leave hundreds of thousands of Texas children without legal status. The move has been questioned by legal scholars and it has already drawn lawsuits from the American Civil Liberties Union and a coalition of Democratic-led states.

House Republicans are pushing a new bill to limit birthright citizenship to babies born with at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.

Rep. Brian Babin introduced the Birthright Citizenship Act, aiming to redefine citizenship for U.S.-born children, echoing Trump's controversial executive order.

Trump’s order targeting the Constitution’s 14th Amendment was hit with several legal challenges by Democratic attorneys general and was blocked by a federal judge Thursday afternoon. However, the Birthright Citizenship Act, introduced by House Science, Space, and Technology Chairman Brian Babin (R-TX), seeks to make the president’s order permanent.

A federal judge blocked President Donald Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship on Thursday, calling the order "blatantly unconstitutional."

The move comes just as Trump’s attempt to cut off the longstanding constitutional right through an executive order drew immediate legal challenges this week.

A group of congressional republicans introduced a bill on Thursday that they said would codify President Donald Trump's birthright citizenship executive order.
