“Priority given to those with US citizen children.”

I don’t accept the notion that children born in this country to foreign nationals are U.S. citizens.

14th Amendment: “...and subject to the jurisdiction thereof...”

Neither foreign nationals or their children, are subject to the jurisdiction of this country. So-called birthright citizenship is only held in place by the illiterate reading of that amendment.

It doesn’t matter what we accept in terms of how judges will see the law. By our current law, and until that is changed by act of Congress and ultimately a clarification of the 14th Amendment(?), judges will come down on the side of those children being US citizens. They already have.

I can argue with it, but that’s the reality and why Trump says that anchor baby laws must be changed.

Even then, they will not remove ‘ex post facto’ the citizenship of one who already has it. They will prevent it from happening again after the new law is enacted.
