Yes the legal challenge is the very point of this EO. You keep playing checkers and leave this to the adults."All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside." Here is the key phrase: " . . . and subject to the jurisdiction thereof . . ."
Now, if Costa Ricans Jose and Juanita cross our border illegally and Juanita has a kid drop out of crotch, is that kid "subject to the jurisdiction" of the US? Are the non-citizen parents subject to the jurisdiction of the US? This is why we have a Judicial Dept. They interpret the law. You don't decide the issue, the courts do.
