President Donald Trump is still struggling with almost the entirety of the judicial system in dealing with illegal immigration.

In one of the more recent battles, the administration has taken their request all the way to the highest court in the nation.

The Supreme Court has decided that it will make the time to hear an appeal from the administration on a possible restriction.

In this case, the administration is hoping to possibly revamp the birthright citizenship program, something that the administration has consistently contested.

The Case

From the start of his public career, the president has considered the birthright citizenship program to be. Onerife with exploitation.

Thanks to that, he hopes to conduct a probe to potentially find ways of revamping the system that would be advantageous for Americans.

While the case is pending, the Supreme Court has agreed to review the Trump administration's plea to impose restrictions on birthright citizenship.

The Supreme Court postponed a decision on the Trump administration's motion to vacate lower court rulings that had blocked the implementation of the president's executive order until May 15, when they were expected to hear oral arguments on the matter.

Arguments

In its application, the Trump administration contended that judges sitting in district courts should not have the authority to oversee "the whole Nation" from within their benches.

They asked the Supreme Court to rein down its power to halt policies from going into force across the country by limiting the number of nationwide injunctions it can issue.

“By allowing single, unelected federal judges to co-opt entire executive-branch policies at the drop of the hat, they create needless interbranch friction and perpetrate a truly lupine encroachment by the Judiciary on the President’s Article II authority,” the administration argued in filings.

Earlier Actions

On his first day in office, Trump issued an executive order titled "Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship." Children of illegal immigrants or those on temporary visas would no longer be eligible for guaranteed citizenship, according to the directive.

In their April 4 brief, several states contesting Trump's order argued that the government's interpretation of the statute "as it has long been understood" fails to demonstrate any harm.

“The government argues that, while this litigation proceeds, the citizenship of newborns should turn on whether their parents are named plaintiffs in these cases, belong to one of the plaintiff organizations, or possibly live in one of the Plaintiff States,” the states argued.

“That unworkable rule would leave tens of thousands of infants born on U.S. soil undocumented, subject to removal or detention, and many stateless, even though they have done nothing wrong.”
