MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Wisconsin is joining a multi state lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s attempt to curtail birthright citizenship.
Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul and Governor Tony Evers said Tuesday that the executive order is unconstitutional and that citizenship by birth is enshrined in the US Constitution. Wisconsin, along with 19 other states, want to invalidate the order.
President Trump and his supporters say birthright citizenship is being used by immigrants to illegally get a foothold in the United States.
This is unlikely to be the only legal challenge against the executive order, one of dozens Trump signed hours after taking office on Monday.
