You have it all wrong.
"create a subclass of children who were born here, but who, through a cruel trick of timing, are not Americans."

you may think that because the EO states that this will apply to children born to undocumented women ( mostly ) 30 days after the idiot asshole signed it. But in reality this is attempting to create a subclass of PEOPLE who were born here but who he now SAYS are not Americans. It is round them all up and deport everyone, without a trial or hearing... based on the say so of ICE or local police or the military or even vigilantes.

and not just looking forward 30 days after signing. That is a fiction that allows the courts to not be involved. The courts will say that people arrested and deported now have no standing to bring a lawsuit because they are not harmed.

Citizenship is now a gift, not a right.
