Trump Plans to End Birthright Citizenship, Facing Legal Challenges, as Part of Immigration Reform Starting January 20, 2025
Dec 19, 2024, 11:23 AM
Donald Trump has announced plans to end birthright citizenship as part of his immigration reform agenda, set to take effect when he assumes the presidency on January 20, 2025. Legal experts, including Tom Homan, have expressed skepticism regarding the constitutional basis for birthright citizenship. The concept is rooted in the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to all individuals born on U.S. soil. Trump's proposal has raised questions about the legal mechanisms required to eliminate this right, which would likely necessitate an amendment, new legislation, or an executive order. However, experts warn that such efforts are likely to face significant legal challenges and may ultimately fail.
