The Trump administration has called this an effort to reduce federal expenditures, shrink the federal payroll, reduce the ability of the government to regulate industry, reduce the role of government in U.S. society, and increase the power of the presidency. Opponents of the effort say it is a hasty, ill-conceived effort that is reducing crucial and beneficial services and violating the law.

''Jus soli'' is the predominant rule in the Americas; explanations for this geographical phenomenon include: the establishment of lenient laws by past European colonial powers to entice immigrants from the Old World and displace native populations in the New World, along with the emergence of successful Latin American independence movements that widened the definition and granting of citizenship, as a prerequisite to the abolishment of slavery since the 19th century. Outside the Americas, however, ''jus soli'' is rare. Since the Twenty-seventh Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland was enacted in 2004, no European countr ...
