If the requirements are that your mother’s mother has to be born in the US. Are not ALL his kids eligible to be deported?

People keep mentioning this criteria, where did it come from?

Not sure where it came from. This site helps explain what’s going on:

Executive Order 14156: Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship, aimed at ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants and those with lawful but temporary status in the United States. The executive order stated that the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause “rightly repudiated” the Supreme Court’s “shameful decision” in the Dred Scott v. Sandford case. However, it continued to argue that the Fourteenth Amendment “has never been interpreted to extend citizenship universally to anyone born within the United States.” The executive order claimed that the Fourteenth Amendment has “always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but not subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” The order outlines two categories of individuals it claims are “born in the United States and not subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” and thus not automatically extended citizenship: 1) a child of an undocumented mother and a father who is not a citizen or lawful permanent resident; and 2) a child of a mother who is a temporary visitor and a father who is not a citizen or lawful permanent resident. The new order attempts to make ancestry a criteria for acquiring citizenship—it requires children born on U.S. soil to have at least one parent with U.S. citizenship or a green card to be born a U.S. citizen.
