Trump's Birthright Citizenship Plan Faces Legal Hurdles Amid Deportation and Military Use Proposals
Dec 12, 2024, 01:32 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has reiterated his intention to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents, a move that has sparked significant controversy and legal debate. Birthright citizenship is protected under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and legal experts argue that Trump cannot unilaterally alter this provision without a constitutional amendment. Additionally, Trump has pledged to enact mass deportations and has stated in a TIME interview his willingness to use the military to round up and deport migrants. These proposals have raised concerns among immigrant communities and advocates, who fear the measures could lead to family separations and widespread disruptions. Critics, including legal scholars and editorial boards, have highlighted the constitutional and logistical challenges of implementing such policies, suggesting they may be legally unfeasible.
