President-elect Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order on his first day in office to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants, according to incoming White House officials. The order aims to clarify language in the 14th Amendment, stating that the federal government will not recognize automatic citizenship for children of illegal immigrants born in the United States. This move is part of a broader set of executive actions related to border security and immigration policy, which also includes halting refugee resettlement for at least four months and enhancing vetting and screening of undocumented individuals.
