What is the central constitutional argument in the legal challenge to President Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship?

America First Legal, representing 18 Republican House members, filed amicus briefs supporting President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants. Two federal judges temporarily blocked the order, but America First argues the 14th Amendment's "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" clause restricts citizenship to those loyal to the U.S., excluding children of illegal immigrants.
