Repealing birthright citizenship is an uphill battle, Gregg Jarrett explains
The birthright citizenship debate exploded back into the national discourse this week after President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning it.
Trump's ban was slated to take effect on Feb. 19, but a federal judge in Seattle on Thursday temporarily blocked the order. Some experts believe the issue will eventually be settled by the Supreme Court.
Should the ban eventually go into force, it would likely impact tens of thousands of children born to the parents of illegal immigrants.
