Trump Plans Executive Order to End Birthright Citizenship, Citing 14th Amendment
Dec 8, 2024, 04:39 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has reiterated his intention to end birthright citizenship, a policy that grants automatic U.S. citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents' immigration status. Trump's comments were made during an appearance on NBC's 'Meet the Press,' where he stated, 'We're the only country that has it. We're going to end that because it's ridiculous.' He plans to issue an executive order on Day One of his second term to enact this change, despite constitutional scholars arguing that the 14th Amendment, which was ratified in 1868 to extend citizenship to freed slaves, makes such a move nearly impossible. Trump's proposal has garnered support from figures like Senator Lindsey Graham, who believes the U.S. is one of a handful of countries with such a policy. Additionally, Trump has expressed willingness to work with Democrats on a plan to help 'Dreamers' stay in the U.S.
