President-elect Donald Trump is set 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, which is one of ten executive actions planned, will clarify the 14th Amendment to state that the federal government will not recognize automatic birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens born in the United States. This is part of a broader set of executive actions Trump plans to implement, which also includes suspending refugee resettlement for at least four months and creating a removal process without the possibility of asylum.
