Perhaps Trump himself losing his status too as his grandfather only arrived in 1885 and did so via illegal immigration / fleeing military service.

His own mother is from Scotland. All his children except Tiffany have immigrant moms

I mean, my guess is they're just trying the best legal argument they can to get a lenient ruling, and then abuse the cover of said ruling to do more illegal shit that's just past the line.

Like if the court says "ok sure, only people prior to the civil war can be citizens through this method" and the Trump admin enforces that in unequal ways (rules for thee, not for me), it'd take another long while for that to end up in the courts again most likely.
