Trump to end birthright US citizenship, incoming White House official says
- U.S. President-elect Donald Trump will issue an order intended to end birthright citizenship for U.S.-born children whose parents lack legal immigration status, an incoming White House official said on Monday.
The article from Reuters discusses a statement by Stephen Miller, a former senior adviser to Donald Trump, who indicated that Trump would seek to end birthright citizenship if he wins the 2024 presidential election. Birthright citizenship, which grants U.S. citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, is based on the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Miller, speaking at a conservative conference, suggested that Trump would issue an executive order on his first day in office to reinterpret the amendment, arguing that it does not apply to children of undocumented immigrants. This move would represent a significant shift in U.S. immigration policy and would likely face legal challenges, as previous attempts to alter this policy through executive action have been met with resistance and debate over constitutional interpretation.
