Nevada AG Aaron Ford joins lawsuit challenging Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : The executive order argues that the 14th Amendment always "excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but not 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof.' "David Orentlicher, a professor at the UNLV Boyd School of Law, said the exception the Trump administration is using has typically been applied to the children of people with diplomatic immunity, such as foreign ambassadors.
47% : "This order will cause states to lose federal funding for programs that they administer, such as Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program and foster care and adoption assistance programs, which all in turn are based on the immigration status of the residents being served," he said.
47% : Ford, the Nevada attorney general, said it wasn't lost on him that Trump issued the order on the national holiday honoring the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.It's also "not lost on me that the same day of his inauguration, one of his closest allies did a Hitler salute," Ford said, referencing tech billionaire Elon Musk.
