The scope of the birthright citizenship executive order is broader than some rumors had it. The denial of birthright citizenship would apply not just to U.S. born children of *undocumented immigrants* but to anyone who did not have a parent who was at least a permanent resident.

President-elect Trump is expected to issue an executive order declaring an end to birthright citizenship — the guarantee that anyone born in the U.S. is automatically an American citizen. The Constitution stands in his way.
