From the very beginning of our nation's founding, and when debating our Nations` first RULE OF NATURALIZATION, FEB. 3RD, 1790, page ll56, Annals of Congress Representative Burk emphatically states the introduction of some foreign nationals ought to be considered “. . . as a high misdemeanor.”
Mr. BURKE thought it of importance to fill the country with useful men, such as farmers, mechanics, and manufacturers, and, therefore, would hold out every encouragement to them to emigrate to America. This class he would receive on liberal terms; and he was satisfied there would be room enough for them, and for their posterity, for five hundred years to come. There was another class of men, whom he did not think useful, and he did not care what impediments were thrown in their way; such as your European merchants, and factors of merchants, who come with a view of remaining so long as will enable them to acquire a fortune, and then they will leave the country, and carry off all their property with them. These people injure us more than they do us good, and, except in this last sentiment, I can compare them to nothing but leeches. They stick to us until they get their fill of our best blood, and then they fall off and leave us. I look upon the privilege of an American citizen to be an honorable one, and it ought not to be thrown away upon such people. There is another class also that I would interdict, that is, the convicts and criminals which they pour out of British jails. I wish sincerely some mode could be adopted to prevent the importation of such; but that, perhaps, is not in our power; the introduction of them ought to be considered as a high misdemeanor.
There is nothing un-constitutional with respect to President Trump's E. O. Protecting The Meaning And Value Of American Citizenship
In fact, changing current federal policy as stated in Trump's E.O., is not only constitutional, but is in total harmony with our federal government's first duty to advance the "general welfare" of the United states and her citizens.
If a majority members on our S.C. strikes down Trump's E.O. and creates a new category of natural born citizenship for the offspring of illegal entrant foreign nationals born on American soil, they will be acting in defiance of our Constitution's command which puts the people's elected representatives, Congress and President, in charge of setting public policy.

“If aliens might be admitted indiscriminately to enjoy all the rights of citizens at the will of a single state, the Union might itself be endangered by an influx of foreigners, hostile to its institutions, ignorant of its powers, and incapable of a due estimate of its privileges." - Joseph Story
