The 14th Amendment to the Constitution says &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But Trump has for years touted the idea of ending birthright citizenship, arguing that it encourages illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>The move has prompted a growing number of legal challenges in recent days. And a federal judge appointed by President Ronald Reagan temporarily <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/judge-temporarily-blocks-trump-birthright-citizenship-executive-order\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">blocked the order<\/a><\/span> Thursday, calling it &#8220;blatantly unconstitutional.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Vance said he disagrees, noting that the issue will be litigated, which he said is &#8220;the nature of our constitutional system.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Vance explained that the &#8220;basic idea&#8221; behind the move is that lawful permanent residents or the children of a legal immigrant who plans to stay in the U.S. &#8220;should become American citizens.&#8221; But he said anyone who doesn&#8217;t plan to stay and gives birth in the U.S. shouldn&#8217;t become a citizen &#8220;by virtue of just having been born on American soil.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Vance cited the example of a &#8220;child of an ambassador&#8221; who would not automatically receive American citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>Brennan pointed out, &#8220;there&#8217;s already a carveout having to do with kids of diplomats.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Vance replied, &#8220;We&#8217;re saying that that carve out should apply to anybody who doesn&#8217;t plan to stay here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He continued, &#8220;If you come here on vacation and you have a baby in an American hospital, that baby doesn&#8217;t become an American citizen. If you&#8217;re an illegal alien and you come here temporarily, hopefully, your child does not become an American citizen by virtue of just having been born on American soil. It&#8217;s a very basic principle in American immigration law, that if you want to become an American citizen, and you&#8217;ve done it the right way, and the American people in their collective wisdom have welcomed you into our national community, then you become a citizen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a country founded by immigrants,&#8221; Brennan replied. &#8220;This is a unique country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a very unique country,&#8221; said Vance, &#8220;and it was founded by some immigrants and some settlers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Vance claimed he didn&#8217;t know of &#8220;any country&#8221; that allows the children of people in a country on a temporary basis to become citizens, saying he doesn&#8217;t know why the U.S. &#8220;would be different.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>More than 30 countries have birthright citizenship or similar policies, according to the Central Intelligence Agency&#8217;s <a
